Title says it all really, as a Torn player from New Zealand the lack of rugby matches is kinda brutal. Like we have handball matches but I can't bet on the Crusaders game? So yeah, I am requesting the addition of rugby matches outside of international tests, if rugby league can be included then surely so can union.

Nice!
So I guess I'll start off with the parts I don't like:
- Connecting to server
- Closing a chat tab does not close it on other tabs
- Messages triple sending in the chat for some reason (occurred last night, haven't had it happen again since)
- Messages just not going through (this resulted in my faction just sending each other $1 back and forth to send messages quickly and more effectively than the chat)
- Names only display the first 7 characters
- Links don't work anymore
- Chats randomly reopen when clicking to new pages even though I have fully closed them down.
- Opening a chat places it on the far right of the screen instead of just expanding from their current location, this has resulted in me messaging the wrong person when I was just trying to type into faction chat.
- It looks like every generic chat widget for customer support/facebook ever, the old one at least had something charming about it.
- Chats are deleted after a certain amount of messages, no ability to scroll up to read old messages, this is terrible for active chats/faction chats during war.
- We were not given the option to opt-in to the new chat, it was sprung on us days out from a huge event and in my instance, in the middle of a faction war.
- Mobile is completely broken and unusable, won't even go into it here as I haven't used it extensively enough to make a list of problems.
- Listing of chats is no longer based on time offline, instead is based on last chat, this is annoying but not unforgivable.
- Some chats sent just don't show up.
- Chat automatically scrolls to new messages, suppose this isn't as big a problem since the chatlogs are deleted after a certain number of messages but it is insanely annoying.
- You have to open a chat to remove it from the chat bar, how hard would it have been to just have a little 'x' that shows up on mouseover while the chat is minimized?
- It looks terrible in light mode, but so does everything.
- Even if I resize the chats to be wider, I still can't see whole usernames over 7 characters.
- Hard to tell when a new message is put into faction chat, the green was much more intuitive.
- I can foresee some issues for colourblind users with telling whether players are online or not due to the small size of the coloured halo around their icon, a simple circle with green, orange and grey worked fine for me, but I'm not colourblind so having an option for customizing said colour schemes would be helpful
- Chat settings do not save. At all. So I can't get faction chat notifications, big broken bug that definitely needs to be ironed out ASAP.
Now that probably seems like a fairly long list of issues, but it is early days and I don't expect things to be perfect or even fully functional on day 1, I hope that those issues are taken more as a list of things that could be improved upon so that the new system can surpass the old one fully in time.
As for the things I like:
- Honestly at this stage things are so janky that I haven't really found anything I particularly 'like', there doesn't seem to be any sort of significant improvements over the old chat system. I like that I can sometimes chat to people when it works?
- When all chats are closed down and it is just showing the trade, new player, faction, notes and people tabs I do kinda like the way it looks, good curved edges look nice.
- I like the player icons in chat, others don't seem to but it makes having a profile picture feel more 'part' of the player identity and allows us to shame others for not uploading a picture.
- While some have highlighted that they don't enjoy the format of their own messages in chats, I actually quite like the little chat bubbles!
- Chat timestamps being in server time are great and all to keep us all on a set timezone, but just adding a little "14 mins ago.." when you hover over chats or as part of the chatlogs fully would be a great addition.
Overall, it's great that the team are constantly looking to make improvements on in-game systems, the timing of this launch probably could have been timed better (just push it back a couple weeks to bugtest it, even make it opt-in so you can get player feedback on a smaller scale before rolling out a full launch with lots of bugs still in there) but overall there is a long way to go before chat feels good again, for now I think I will be chatting less often than before and just sending messages instead of chats for important things.
