IRC Channel connection from internal game chat

[TharisThayn]

Hi Guys

Don't know if it has already been suggested.

My idea: make an IRC channel connection possible from the game. Why? You would be able to establish a guild chat even with players that are not in the game but at work for example or somewhere, where they don't have DDO installed. Would be an advantage even for players, that are currently not in the game but at their PC. They would be able to talk to currently playing guild members.

Our Guil for example plans an guild-website-integrated IRC client. So we can log the guild IRC even through our companys firewall via HTTP If you would implement an IRC client in the game, our guild could communicate with all members that have an internet connection. Some log into the channel via our website, some log into it via IRC client and the currently playing people would be connected via guild chat! I think that would be a great thing! And it can't be hard to implement?
