New Update 10/25/2012! CHAT!

[Nate]

Greetings Pit Masters!

Today marks another milestone in the Great Realm! We now have in game chat! Everyone please thank Crow for being patient and remembering to remind me to add chat to the game, without his gentle reminders every so often who knows when it would have been added! ;)

The same rules and etiquette apply to in-game chat as on the forums. Let's keep it clean and friendly and have fun!

Good luck in the Pit!

Any plans for multiple channels in the chat? (ex: strategy, fights, etc.)

[Prinny]

First!

Any way to turn chat off completely? It steals focus from the background page.

Can you elaborate more on what exactly is happening so I fully understand the issue? Minimizing doesn't help? What OS and Browser are you using? Version numbers will help as well.

Thanks!

totally awesome:D

winning :D

Some new commands for you guys:

/pinchat on (prevent chat from auto scrolling)
/pinchat off (turn auto scrolling back on)

These are remembered, so be sure to turn it off when you are done reading the chat you missed while cooking dinner. :)


Good luck in the Pit!

Nice! One problem though. When I hit return to post, my browser reloads the site and chat reboots. I run Safari.

[Nate]

Changed the default colors in chat to make it easier to read.

Fixed the bad word censor, it shouldn't flag words that happen to also containt the bad words. Cain you can now use the word "assume" without trouble! ;)

Good luck in the Pit!

We'll eventually add multiple channels, this is just ver. 1.0! :)

I'm using IE 9.

With the new chat window, I cannot use the keyboard to scroll a POW page without first clicking on the page to make focus current.
Usually I could click an Arena/Tavern fight button and then use the page up/down buttons to read the fight. Now I have to click the page before using the key commands.

I don't plan on using chat often so I just wanted to turn it off completely.

The chat completely disappeared from the website. Is it just me? I'm using the latest version of google's Chrome.

I suggest you log out and log back in, it should be there again if you do that.

Did you purchase trophies? The same thing happened to me when I did :)

[ithylight]

I have 3 accounts and i log in and out all the time. The chat is missing on all accounts. I didn't purchase any trophies.

Just tried with mozzila. Same...

I noticed the page is loading slightly longer than before and my "homepage" is pitofwar.com/thegreatrealm. While it's loading it says "connecting to chat.pitofwar.com".

Are you still having trouble connecting to chat?

So after you purchase the trophies and it redirects you back to the game the chat is no longer there?

[ithylight]

Still not there :(

That is correct, it's not to big a deal though since relogging fixed it :)

[Nate]

Still not there :(

Have you tried it in another browser? If you have the ability to do that please try and let me know the results.

Currently you are using Chrome you mentioned. On windows or mac?

Thanks!

Hey Johnh10,

I'll look to add a way to turn chat on and off after the next few updates. I'm assuming you like to navigate around the browser using the keyboard only?

Good luck in the Pit!
