Improved chatting/picture sharing
 
We all know iClassic is nothing but a graphical chatroom, so why isn't the chat improved?
Since the only fun thing to do on iClassic is talk, you should at least improve the chat system.
Here's what it needs:
chat history of what you've seen on overhead chat. I'm tired of lagging/going afk for 20 seconds and missing what my friend said.

picture/video sharing.
Right now the only way to share a picture is to upload it as a guild picture.
Don't even say this will lead to misuse/abuse, because people already upload inappropriate guild pictures anyway. Adding this will make it so we can share multiple pictures at once, better picture privacy, and so we don't need a guild.

voice chat
if p2p hosted it will not lag the server.

in chat emoticons to add.

simple chat rooms so we don't have to deal with keyboard lag because our 2nd gen ipods can't handle the rendering of all the sprites and tiles onscreen at 20 times per second. I remember having an ipod 2 and trying to talk in Graal City; it took like 20 seconds for the text to appear and I crashed a lot.

bigger statuses and built in code editor.
First of all, it isn't easy to fit even the most simple of things in your status, especially without html. Also, Not everyone wants to spend hours learning html just to change the colors/size/font of their status or add pictures.

Hmm, sounds a little too complex.. And as for the "learning hours of html" thing.. It's not that hard to remember <font color=color> or <font size=size>... But in reading this it made me think.. We should be able to use html in chat!

Don't we already have a chat history?
If what by you mean are like messages that appear on top what it says while you are playing, then its completely not needed

Wrong! You do realize most people who put inappropriate pictures or name their guild inappropriately will get their guild removed and the leader gets a ban. Don't use an excuse ever again like that just to get admins to approve picture sharing. It will get misused in plenty of ways

What the hell can you expect? You're chatting with your friend in a huge crowded area. Of course its gonna lag! Just walk to a place where theres rarely any members. No one has a problem so far with this

I don't think they're gonna build or accept something like that at all... Also, HTML isn't that hard

Don't care what you say....this will lead to SO much abuse that graal will just be a noob pornhub.
