No one cares about your EGO, (haha?) and there is REALLY no need to be so rude. Keep it clean, please.
The real problem with the chat is that when things do pop up, they disappear as soon as you hit another key, any key. And in a TPS, when you are never looking in the bottom right, and always strafing right to left, it is easy to hit a then hit d and totally miss a message.
is it just me or is there no server status page that we can peruse instead of having to go into the game only to find out servers are not up yet?
