File:Gold-rank-icon.png Changes

  • no room limit although current user interface may slow with massive room user list eventually (PA Chat limit via XMPP was 100)
  • no commands now... everything is right click with name at top for confirmation and help on top right
  • no bans now... just system wide mutes where they can see everything but not contribute
  • no private rooms for now... only global and tournaments
  • no game invite spam... only friends, recent contacts and search results can now be invited
  • usernames for inactive users show as dimmed for historical messages
  • max message size is 200... do not test the limits
  • individual messages can be permanently muted (and umuted)
  • individual messages can be permanently deleted (and undeleted)
  • all messages are logged

Implementation:

  • chat rooms use web sockets and a new Community Chat server... no more XMPP multi-user chat rooms
  • XMPP is only used for default functionality like friends lists, game invites, etc
  • room users are now lightweight and no longer create full CONTACT users ie the user tag map will not grow for every user who joins room
