Just a short and sweet announcement:

There is now a new alternative for those wishing to get onto the Mafia Returns game chat (or IRC). This new addition is an Ajax based client, which has been tested and proven to work with any browser on any computer- without having to download any add-ons or plug-ins! You can find this groovy new chat version under the "Chat" menu at the top of your page, under "Text Chat (Ajax)".

Just an easier way to access the chat for those of you who currently use the Java version, or another web-browser chat service like Mibbit.

Thank you, and go nuts!

I have just tried this myself and what a fantastic thing. Oh my god.. Its amazing. Such a quick and easy way its fantastic. Fantastic addon. I am sure this will make many people happy!

Indeed. Works perfectly. I'm very happy about this.

This is just awesome, I love mibbit. Now I can see many different colors other than black text and white background. Loveeeeeee this.

Absolutely BRILLIANT. has solved all my Java problems

great change. im too lazy to boot irc, and the previous in game chat was just not that user friendly imo.

this one, two clicks /ns identify and boom, done.

great job.

Superb :) This is going to make it so many more players will have chat capability then before.

I like it a lot better but the app crashes on my computer every so often.  Anyone have any advise?

works on my phone.  Thanks guys.

works well, much preferred - thanks.
