Bump.
It was not until now for me that this would become really handy lmao.

I wouldn't mind seeing this feature, but let me play devil's advocate. Here is how I see it.
Advantages of group chat being built into Osu!:
** IRC, which Osu's chat seems to run on top of, has the rule that once everyone logs off a channel it disappears (with some exceptions -- chanserv). Trying to prevent this while not having tens of thousands of dead channels would be one hurdle that Osu devs face if they implement this.
I think the first 2 reasons alone are a pretty big reason to use an external chat client. If you have 2 screens I recommend you have some IRC or mumble chat going on one of them with Osu on the other. I do this while still using Osu chat in-game and it works well for me.
Advantages of group chat being built into Osu!:
- It's convenient while playing if you only have one monitor
- You can click people's name to go to their profile
- You have /np
- It's easier to talk to people you met on Osu in the first place
- Don't need to run another program too
- No chat censoring*, no after-the-fact message redaction, and you get to set the rules. Depending on the chat system you use, you could even appoint your own moderators.
- If you close Osu or it crashes, your chat is still there. You can still use it without having to restart Osu. You can say "Sorry brb, restarting osu"
- You can send files (e.g. a zip of some beatmaps you're about to play through)
- You can keep your group even after everyone leaves**
- It won't lag your game if someone uses a character from a font Osu hasn't loaded yet
- You can write bold, underlined or coloured text
- It will integrate better with your IME if you use one
- You can choose a better font (a big one for me, because Osu's font rendering doesn't do fallbacks correctly under wine. Probably less important for everyone else.)
- You can write scripts/bots/macros
- You can change your nickname at will
- You can call each other up (voice chat)
- TLS or other encryption can be used
- Less load on peppy's servers :^)

That's weird and barely likely to be noticed ;vxXavocadoXx wrote:
For the whole topic, overall good idea. Maybe ask Microsoft how Skype group chats work

Actually this is a great idea even more better if you can make a Group Chat
Idea of the century 10/10
osu! would be better with this imo

This really should be a thing.
man i would actually love having this
chatting with friend groups would be so much easier

They won't consider this because they'll implement group chats into the game when osu!next is released, however it will be for Supporters only.
argh! I'm still waiting for this! 
bumping this because it's a really good idea that (I think) should be added
There are plenty of IRC clientdeadbeat wrote:
Don't go around saying "you can do this on mIRC"
Mighty fine idea my friend, star given.
Yes, I was wondering why these aren't here. xD Agree with it.
Why isn't this added yet
i'll support if you can change the name of the private chat. tab.

Omg please peppy implement this
For everyone wanting this feature there is a little bit of hope.
I made an IRCBot which gives you the possibility to create rooms and chat with your friends.
Its currently in closed alpha though and I am still looking for some people to help me test.
