Since the site uses a Windows Live ID for logon and authentication, I could imagine that it might be possible to integrate Bungie.Net and Windows Live Messenger.
Much like we have some integration with XBL (Linked gamertag for stats and profile, show Bungie account membership on XBL and so on) it shouldn't be impossible to make a similar, member managed set of data that would link out to WLM.
Say for example, that my Windows Live ID was "recon54@hotmail.com". I could choose to enter that as my linked WLM contact, and then allow (or disallow) other members on Bungie.Net to send me invites. If I accepted the invite, the link that the other member used could then be used to send IM's.
If Bungie.Net queried the Live Messenger service, it could then display my Messenger status to people on my friends list. I would then use Windows Live Messenger to group out the Bungie.Net contacts and to set my online/offline status.
I don't know. It could work. It would leverage already known and existing systems and services that share the Windows Live ID architecture. As long as members could opt in and out of it, it would provide added value and encourage members to use their primary WLID and gamertag.
yeah, how do i link my gammertag to my account on here?
