Military Unit Chatroom - Good or Bad?

Day 2,354, 12:31 Published in Ireland Ireland by Mr. Tayto

Personally I like the new feature that popped up today - The Military Unit Chatroom.



It's sure to spark some debate, controversy, resistance, applause, condemnation delight and tears... all from the one player probably.

Sadly its not based on the highly successful Chatroulette Model, but there's enough d*cks on eRepublik to make up for this.




I wonder what the adoption rate will be. The positives I see are:
1) Secure Open Comms within MU
2) Comms within eRepublik as opposed to IRC which is external and requires a second window
3) More likely to engage 2-clickers than IRC
4) More engagement means better coordination of efforts


The problem areas I see are:
1) Loyalty to IRC
2) The old ways are best
3) IRC is more customisable and its a safe place away from eRep to chat about the game
4) New chat only allows chat within MU and not at a National Level or Alliance level therefore IRC still has a part to play.

That's just a few of my thoughts, what do you think?
