ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/External Chat Interface

External Chat Interface (Discussion)
Have functionality to be able to chat to the in-game world via the browser. A similar concept is in place for other MMO's (such as FFXII), and allows communication with your community in-game even if you (physically) are not in a place that allows you to start the game client or where it is impractical (say, in a coffee shop using your laptop, or in a library terminal).


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Allows people to keep in touch with their friends without needing to start up the full game client
 * Fosters a closer community
 * Allows people to converse with in-game friends while doing something else
 * Lets GM's monitor the in game chat more as they can have multiple chat windows up for the various towns etc.
 * Could be used for Real Life developer / Player parties where they launch a external chat window on a big screen at a event or something.
 * Are you refering to something similar to Skype because if you are, I totally agree.


 * Why it may not work out
 * Enabling in-game communication might serve to fragment the player community by allowing players to manage/interact with ingame assets while not actually being ingame
