Suggestion: Create a channel similar to battle.net
This will allow all of us who are logged in to see who is online.
This will help make it easier for us to create a 1-71 game faster, I believe.
I really think it will be very effective. It was very effective for Battle.net.

edit: I just want to add something...
While we're not in a group or in catacombs, we'll automatically be put in this channel.
That way, we can skill while in this channel. I think it's a great way for us to stay busy while waiting for a group.
Nobody wants to sit idle in a group, wondering if it'll ever launch or not, for hours and hours...



Only possible downside I can see is site load. But I have no idea. Will it increase site load or not? I'm no computer guru.

Sure, cant see it hurting so why not?

Reminds me of the pub and that didnt work very well...

Agreed.
Used to be called "Chat Room" in town, no one ever made use of it.

I'm sure you could try to make this main stream... But honestly, even when it was incorporate into the game, it didn't work well, so I doubt any thing will.

Never used D2 public channel.
Never used LS chat room.

If you create a group, you can see everyone online. Find Players from 1-130 level.
If you want people to see your group when they get online. Create Game from 1-130 level

This way, you get what you want... You see who are all online [not in a group], and people getting online can see your group [they haven't entered a group yet].
ONLY thing that needs to change, is to see "all groups" when you are in a group yourself.

Maybe a picture will help. Please forgive my humble paint skills.

yes from me

i like it

one year later to be implemented? but this is a great idea, voted yes.

I prefer to see pple physically online and u can click on their portraits to chat with them, rather than /find 1 100, every 1-2 mins to check.
