Chat and badges

A Battle.net-style chat in the game: friends, whispers, channels and badges, on your Project Lage account.

Talking

Next update Sign in in the launcher and the chat is on. Press Enter like for the game's own chat and type a command: /c hello says hello in your chat channel, /w Name hi whispers. Text without a / stays the game's own chat with the players in your game. New lines show at the bottom left and fade; Ctrl + C keeps the last lines on screen.

Everyone is in Project Lage. Trade and Help are always open to join, and /j with any other name opens your own channel; it closes when the last player leaves. You can be in 5 channels besides Project Lage. Your friends list holds 50 players; like on Battle.net you see where a friend is once they added you back.
