Chat improvements.

I'm sure chat improvements are planned, and as the population of the game grows, these improvements will become more and more of a necessity. Any devs able to share info on where some of these adv. chat features are on the roadmap?

Again, thanks for a great game.

Unify the chat tabs and use channels instead. All chat is broadcasted on specific channels. Allow the user to select which channels each chat tab will subscribe to.
Add the channel name or channel abbreviation in brackets in front of the chatline. i.e [Global][L] [Faction][F] [Guild] [G] [Trade] [T]
Color the bracketed text to easily discern which chat channel it is in. The actual text of the chat can be a different color.
Add a Trade Channel.
Allow us to ignore users.
Add optional timestamp display.

GUI improvements and therefore chat are in our ToDo list. Currently we are working on the Guild Warfare feature which is our No.1 priority. GUI should be next, unless we will be able to squeeze it somewhere in between.
