I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds
How about a private messaging system with the circle of friends that member with gifs and emoticons.

@Megaboyx From Admin Andrew A Common Question on SW: Why is Private Messaging not available yet?
We have been progressing well with many of the unfinished features, including private messaging; we do expect this feature to become available for use in a soon to come update.
Private messaging is more complex than many other features, such as Hearts, for example.
Many users ask questions like: "Why did we complete Hearts before Messages?",
yet seem to not realize that these features are completely opposite on the scale of difficulty.
In the same way you wouldn't expect Facebook, Google, Yahoo or Hotmail to build and entire messaging service (or even a single new feature) in just 2-3 days,
it takes us days or weeks of work to build complex features as well (also we have businesses/jobs apart from SW).
We do not simply drag-and-drop features into existence on this site.
Everything is being hand-coded, and rigorous security and performance tests must be done for each feature.
(You may have noticed the rarity of Bugs/Errors on this site)
However, probably the main reason for cautious progression with the Messaging feature, is SAFETY.
We want to be sure that by the time we make private messaging available on our site, minors are protected to the best of our ability from predators;
And ALL members in fact, are well protected from seeing inappropriate content in private messages which they never asked to receive.
