Is it possible to have several people in on a voice chat IM at one time? Instead of just one on one using the voice chat via IM can more be added?

I think it would have to be in the form of a group...wait, can you use voice in a group IM? Seems you wont be able to just add people, would be a good addition...after everything else is fixed though!

Can you do multiple parties in a text IM? Like if I want to have a conversation with two other people where all three of us are in on it; sort of a group chat, but without the official group? It seems like if you can do that, then adding that capability to voice would not be a big deal.

Hey y'all... is the 'conference' chat what you seek? You start one by selecting one or more 'calling cards' in your inventory, right-clicking and choosing to start a conference. Once the conference is started, you can drag add more people to the conference by dragging their calling cards into the list of people participating in the conference.

The drawback, I guess, is that as far as I know, the only way to get someone's calling card is to become friends with them ( if only momentarily P: ).

Day - if you right click on them, then click more on the pie chart, there's an option to give a card. You don't have to friend them to do it.

In case any don't know this: For text chat, if the people ARE your friends, just open your friends list and ctrl-select the set you want in the IM session, and then hit "Instant Message".
