Crew Chat Update

Hi, any new information meanwhile about the crew chat?
In the meantime my crew members have stopped playing battles because they don't want to start playing if there's no communication possible. Some members have also left the crew because it isn't active anymore as they don't have a place to talk to the other members anymore. So we really need it back!
I have also another question: if we would make a whatsapp group chat via OSM, would everyone then be able to see each others phone number or is it an in-game chat? Because not everyone wants to share his private data.
Thanks in advance! -
Hi @M-A-N-O-_NL ,
At the moment there are no plans of reintroducing in-game chat for crews. So for now we hope that being able to chat with external chat programs is sufficient.
For WhatsApp if you choose that, it will open the app externally so you will indeed be able to see other people's phone numbers. Another option would be to use Discord where you can join without needing a phone number and is thus more private.
So no good news unfortunately, but I hope you'll be able to get your members more active again and keep on enjoying playing battles. If there's any more questions, let me know.

I agree with @M-A-N-O-_NL that crew activity dropped since the crew chat was stopped. I don't want to use WhatsApp for OSM. I have tried Discord, but the activity is much lower because it's outside OSM. A chat option inside the crew in OSM would be great and will increase crew battle activity again (this activity dropped in the last few years).

@m-a-n-o-_nl agree

There are good alternatives which are pretty secure and well encrypted with end to end connection which is reliable
Here are some good source I would like to share
Telegram
Wickr
Jabber
WeChat
Viber
Hope my reply adds value here and it's helpful to you. Cheers -
The only thing missing now is crew forum. And I really want it back. No social media or other types of chat can't replace the forum's simplicity

Its mobile access is not optimized though.

@DMFArranhado98 Why not just use the web browser on your phone to access?
-
@DMFArranhado98 Web forums have always been working fine for me, I have never had any problem. But it also depends on type of the device you have.
-
I didn't say I couldn't access them via mobile. I just stated forums aren't optimized for this way, as we can't get here through the app.
However, all of the external apps that were listed before have mobile apps with optimized mobile access. -
@Manager-PR-9 You're right mate
even I had no issues -

osm should make chat box a little bit more like wahatsapp
-
Does anyone know which chat app URL for Discord I need to input to start?
Because I have tried everything but the system keeps telling me it is invalid

Ok, it's been a long time since you changed the way forums work and deleted crew internal forums. Worst idea ever. Because now, if I want to play OSM and be a crew member I have to play the game on OSM app but to comunicate with my mates in another app. Whay do I need two apps to play a game that gets worse every day? You destroyed forums when you moved to v3 or what version it is now. It makes me sick when I check my country forums and I don't see a post in weeks and I remeber 3-4 years ago there was hundreds posts every day.
When I say "you", I mean GB not forum staff. -
@manyac-xx
Everyone may not use a single app, but if you ask someone to join room in the forum's, more users will be there. That's why I prefer OSM forums chat. -
@regixx-13 i think the same way if the crew had a pink skin like whatsap pink at https://heymods.net it would be great.
