Gaia Instant Messenger is coming/coming back, guys!
Developer's Journal
I had mentioned in a journal a while back that we were working on "a new way of communicating with your friends." At last the efforts of coaster_vn, ferminator, excitom have paid off, and we finally pushed GIM (Gaia Instant Messenger) to beta.

GIM is very cool -- some of the most complex Javascript you've ever seen. It's built on top of AOL, but you can use the instant messaging entirely from Gaia and never know that you're using AIM.

So, why did we offer IM? Is it really necessary with rallies and towns? Well, one of the big drivers behind GIM (and pretty much everything else this quarter) is battle: battle needed a whisper / chatting facility, so we decided that if we were going to do all the backend work for that, we might as well do it for the rest of the site. Also, this will help build a sense of community -- there will be facilities in the GIM client to invite your friends to wherever you are, whether it's a flash game or even inside a forum thread.

It's very neat stuff. We'll push it live in the next couple of weeks, if all goes well.


Any thoughts?

I'm wondering on how it'll look and where it'll be based. Maybe Gaia will create several chat rooms that are moderated.

I just gave beta a shot...but, of course, it downloaded a virus onto my laptop somehow in the few seconds it was pulled up. Way to go.

It looks good. :3nod; I'm hating how everything loads its own page though. That's sucky to tha max.

I've had 2 conversations. Nothing real special; jsut the same old same old I've said before with them. Its interesting how we have chat but no new emotes to complement it, though. Or emote designed ANYTHING actually.
