NOw that people can send each other mail, i think theres no point disabling private chat.
this may be the end for some FFA players. :/

Oh, good point...hmm...well in that case you'll have to make the turn limit of real-time FFA a bit shorter and for multi-day you'll have to get a lot better at being diplomatic, or knowing what or what not to say :D

Well tbh if people wanted to cheat that in the first place they would have just made a game with that player.

yea there is plenty of other ways to talk to other players than mail

To be honest if I ever play a 'serious' FFA with no alliance rules, I stick to my clan and WarLight friends only. People I can trust. Like others said, before this update the option to cheat was easy - if you created a game with the player you wanted to talk with you could switch between game and chat just as (if not easier than) with mail.
