No admin chat?

Hey does anybody know if there is an admin chat in the game or whether there will be one added?

This is a vital part for hosting events and being able to communicate with players.

If not then i think a petition must be started early on to try to fix this issue asap

Funnily enough, somebody else just made a thread for this:  http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,319678.0.html

Locking this one as the other is older.
