Ikariam Chat is a Greasemonkey script wich adds a little chat box in the game area. You can download the alfa version in the Download section of this site or directly from this link.  The script uses an external chat server for getting and putting massages. This, chat server is strongly based on XHTMLChat. Ikariam Inline Score and Kronos Utils had been form me very helpfull for understanding how to use Greasemonkey! Once the script has been installed, it opens, as default chatroom, a domain secific chatroom (e.g. if you play under www.ikariam.de you'll authomatically join a chatroom called de). 
You can create as many chatrooms as you like. You just have to add the new chatroom's name in the bottom part of the config panel. In this way you can have a private chatroom for you and your allyance's membersĀ by sharing a common and secret chatroom name.
Ikariam Chat uses a private server at http://chat.mmxforge.net. Ypu can have your own private sarver by installing some php files in an Apache-PHP-MySQL capable server. You can download ikachat.tar.gz archive from my remository. The archive contains 4 files: - getChatData.php wich sends last messages to the chat;
- sendChatData.php wich send messages from the chat to the chat server;
- db.php wich holds configuration parameters for the DB connection;
- initDB.php wich create the tables for the DB.
