    Imagine WhatApp/Facebook Messenger.

    You (or the designated admin/s) add/remove multiple people to a chat or group message as required.

    Use cases could be:
    - comms between faction leaders
    - company investors (or other 'investor' groups), etc without spamming the extended group
    - organisation between chaining teams

    I haven't considered the additional complexity of the solution and the fact this is not available in RESPO means some refactoring in the existing messaging/chat solutions.

    Hence I'm not specifying which (chat and/or messaging) could be improved (both preferred) as this would depend on the complexity/effort required of a solution to either existing systems.

    Please comment your thoughts and vote on the poll.
    • How likely is it you would use this functionality?
    • Very likely
    • Somewhat likely
    • Not Particularly likely
    • Unlikely
    • I Definitely won't
    • (I don't use chat/messaging) this is a +ve step
    • (I don't use chat/messaging) neutral
    • (I don't use chat/messaging) this is a -ve step

    KPCSlor's Similiar Suggestion (>100 thumbs up)

    *due to character limits I used the below shorthand for the vote responses:
    +ve = positive
    -ve = negative

    Considerations
    1. The 'group' size could be constrained to a a fixed limit, e.g. 10 / 20 / 50
    2.a Chat: A maximum of 3 / 5 / 10 group chats can be joined
    2.b Message / Mail: A maximum of 5 / 10 / 20 group messages can be joined

    I would use this a lot. I have groups of friends from outside my faction that I would love to talk to as a whole regularly.

    Think it's a great idea. I voted Somewhat Likely, though as soon as I did, thought I should have done highly :)

    For a # of things I utilize Skype chat and that serves the needs well, but I could see where this would be highly beneficial and also aid the game, as when people feels connected to others, they're invested and play a game more than otherwise.

    (I don't use chat/messaging) this is a +ve step

    I prefer to use mail instead.

    But I love it if I can talk with few of my runner or branch manager.
    I still use IRC for that.

    Thanks IRC.

    R+ and Can't wait for it.

    Lost In Translation. Please Don't Take Me Back.

    Thanks for the feedback, I added that vote option for exactly that reason.

    Mail = Messaging in my suggestion, depending on the effort required to re-work mail or chat to be custom-group friendly I'm happy to see either extended to provide this functionality.

    I think this is a great idea - I can think of many times that I would like to be able to send the same message to a group of people without spamming everyone's in box!!

    So we would be able to make our own chat boxes and customize it the way we want such as who can join and who can't?

    That's one solution, either via chat or via the messaging / mail system.

    E.g. the admin or admins would control who has access to the group chat.

    [:sick:] I don't understand your suggestion. There is a timer on mailing unless you are a donator. 30 seconds before you can mail another message, I think or it was 1 minute.?

    The timer should/would still apply. Your single message would be sent (to the group).

    This is a good point though, tell me what you think of the below conditions:
    1. The 'group' size could be constrained to a a fixed limit, e.g. 10 / 20 / 50
    2.a Chat: A maximum of 3 / 5 / 10 group chats can be joined

    So you'd be able to do that easily enough if the group size is within the size limit (e.g. 20 / 50 / ... or whatever's decided most reasonable.
