Anyone else remember this? I was just thinking about it and thought it would be cool to see it here on p99. I know its highly unlikely but i had a moment of nostalgia thought i would see if anyone else remember it.

I used that extensively! it worked for a long while after they took the code/link down from the website. It was also buggy as hell.

For those not in the know, you can chat between servers....

chat with your red pals today using /t pvp.soandao

recruit from blue today using /t live.soandso

I remember doing /tell furor/tiggles %%#$%#@^&&^$%&#$% <linkdead>. The messenger couldn't convert certain characters to the person in game properly, same with if message was too long. only the receiving end would crash.

would be great on here :D

EQ IM let you chat with folks in game while you were not logged in.

I used it all the time when they put it out, but it was buggy and they stopped supporting it not long after (a year or so) without any explanation. it eventually stopped working altogether.
