Public Chat Rooms!!!

Hello fellow TW fans,

Perhaps for many of you this doesn't seem like a special or important feature but for us hardcore multiplayers and clan players Public Chat rooms are a must.

A reason why the multiplayer of NTW and ETW has not flourished competitively or in terms of clans/groups is because of the lack of a public chat lobby where general conversation and communication between players could be made.

A reason why Rome Total War is still so popular online is because of its public chat room that has provided the infrastructure for a diverse and lively community.

So, for those of you concerned, having observed the Multiplayer Overview Video, I caught a glimpse of the bottom left corner where I saw of a tab saying "Public" under the Chat Options.

I also noticed on the multiplayer bar the return of block, ban and private conversation buttons which existed in the Rome Public Lobby.

Based on my observations, I believe they've brought the public lobby back!!

If its true, its sealed my purchase of the game and commitment to Shogun 2 Multiplayer!!

Here are my observations (circled red):
