Chat Feature that *needs* implementing

How many people on dolumar utilize third party apps to communicate with their clan /alliance etc?

willing to bet, alot...

why cant there be an added chat window for clan speak, and perhaps one for private message (blue chat) as well?

By not having such features, new people who come to the game and enter chat are sometimes met with silence, true sometimes because no one is on...but more times then not, because the people who are on, are utilizing a third party chat program to communicate and not paying attention to dolumar chat.

the newbie thinks the game is dead, or very sparsely populated and moves on to some other new game.

Retention of players is paramount for game success, a chat feature such as the above would not change game balance at all, but would improve communications, improved communications means  newer players might stay longer then feel like they are being ignored or joining a "ghost" game.

I realize there is alot on the developer's plates right now, but ease of communication should be up near top, if you look at any major game, communication is a focus point on how its rated as well as other features. 

While dolumar doesnt require split second decision making, thus making a voice program necessary, it does require secure information sending and receiving.
