IRC works great for me (I'd be more interested if this feature was an integrated IRC system, rather than a new chat feature, but that probably has a lot of problems, like the ones with the old CGI-IRC on irc.wikia.com).

I think chat may well be annoying, (IRC is flexable, and can be ran from a client, instead of in browser) but this will also be easier to set up for the average user (IRC can be complex when you first start).

So, in terms of previous new features, I'm more excited about this than any other wikia feature in a while (Turned off RTE, I didn't use monaco or oasis, and Article comments is a step in the wrong direction), but, It'll be something that I probably ignore, and stick with using IRC.
