Hey people! Just wanted you guys to know.. i was browsing some forums the other day, and i came accross a link for a program called 'Playlinc'. I looked into it, to see what the program is and what it does. Turns out, its pretty much an all-encompassing in game program. It allows you to IM friends (like XFire). However, you DO NOT NEED TO SIGN UP FOR IT. Yeah. It uses your AIM and/or ICQ screenname as your username. Dont believe me? Look at it. If you have a firewall that shows where its connecting, itll show it trying to login to the AIM server. Anyway, on top of in game IMing with all your AIM and ICQ friends, it allows you to do voice chat (up to 32 people at once), they host servers for free (fiber-optic speeds), they allow you to 'follow' buddies, they allow you to make GAN games (a new breed of game. Think: LAN + Internet combined. Invite buddies to a private LAN game as if they were wired directly into your LAN.), they have profiles, allow you to manage clans, even browse the web while in game. Here is a quote directly from them:
