Broadening Support for IG - IRC communication

[Underbard]

This would be the equivilant of the guards having IG to IRC cell phones.  Is it REALLY necessary?

[Pinefish]

Its nothing like the guards having "IG to IRC cell phones", it's just the same as many have said, as the sending system being broadcasted on the IRC channel but it allows those who need an Armsman to be able to get one IG and this is especialy useful for new players and players who don't use IRC or know who plays the armsmen and the like.

[FleetingHeart]

Perhaps not common knowledge, but guardsmen do tend to have a good deal of forum paperwork to do, filing reports and what not.
 
It would not be unrealistic to think that they may be engaged in this while not being logged in (due to alt tab issues). Therefore, any ability for them to see they are needed and hop back in game is a good thing.
