Chat on left-hand side?

Is there any way that we could have the option of moving the chat box over to the left-hand side?

I say this, because I often find myself forgetting that the chat exists, when I'm honestly trying to talk to some friends.  This isn't just Glitch chat by the way.  The same thing happens when I put Yahoo Messenger on the right side.

I'm not sure if it's just me, and if so - please disregard this thread, but I think having an option of which side the chat would be on would be great.

Maybe like a click and drag thing?  I don't know how difficult this would be to implement... but... food for thought :)

  • ...aren't the chats in the game on the right hand side to begin with? Or am I missing something via my terrible sense of direction?

  • I'm pretty sure they're on the right hand side of the screen already :)

    Edit: oh :p nvm me then!

  • I think that would be a nice option, I always pay more attention to my left-hand side (lefty) so it would be easier to pay attention to chat there as well.

  • Could be a player option. I know GMail has something like it as part of their "Labs" feature. But right now it may cause breakage of the game to move it. Leave it be for now.

  • Oh, okay! Right.

    (Personally, I focus right most of the time, so I wouldn't mind chat staying where it is but the option to switch sides would be nifty for those who need it.)

  • I like the idea. :) I forgot my +1 last post. Too practical sometimes. :p

  • Left side makes more sense to me too since that's where the in-game notifications are. It's a bit off-putting to have in-game notifications on the left and chat+local activity on the right. I feel I have to constantly scan back and forth at the messages while interacting with my character in the middle.

  • Chat on the bottom would be great as well, but the problem I see with that would be that if you have a toolbar, you already wish you had a scroll bar for the game client (the toolbar pushes the game down a little, making it so that you can not see the bottom of your bottom row of inventory (how many items you have in a bag)

  • As a lefty, I strongly second this motion.

  • i don't care about left or right, but would prefer it if the in-game notifications were on the same side as the chat.
