EQIM is Live and Functional

The new EQIM is now live and functioning although it does have some bugs. The download and use is free at the moment but it will eventually have a charge for the service (except those on Legends, who will receive the EQIM free as part of the Legends service). This addition to EQ has a lot of potential uses and opens the entire EQ community up for communication both in and out of the game across every server. If you haven't tried it yet, you can find more info about it and download it from the EQlive! site or use this link...EQIM download

Ya all gotta remember that this is still just a beta more or less. Guild chat is not accessable yet and if you're behind a firewall at work, you're out of luck probably until they get a firewall option integrated. The Buddy List definitely needs work too, but I'm sure they'll work the bugs out.

I had my buddy list up to 137 guild members before it said enough and crashed on me, and that was while I was in a chat channel with guildies and had two private messages going at the same time.

They are collecting bug reports - I sent mine to three addys since I couldn't find one specifically for EQIM. I sent a bug report to eqtesting, eqmail, and to Lead GM Kriggan who informed me that he had forwarded my email to the bug report team, as did the testing department.

I think when the bugs are worked out and a few additions and enhancements are added, that this is going to be a really good tool. Smiley: smile

First of all, it should be more transparent. That is, tells coming from EQIM should be treated just as tell coming from within EQ. Many of my friends complain they can't reply to me.

I haven't seen any guild features, which would be MOST of the point.

This morning when I logged on with it, my list of names was empty. That's really annoying.

I just tried this out. My guild Mistaken Identity on Drinal has a chat channel set up so non guildies can channel with us. I was able to tap into this and show up as my main. Cool for when I am at work and can not log on because my boss etc...
