As far as chat goes, ozzie, you'll have guild/tribe chat so you can do all your RP stuff in there. I'm assuming the chat interface will improve to make it easier to choose which chat mode you're in (rather than having to type /t or whatever every time).
The path they are currently taking in my opinion is the correct path, I personally can not stand the multi-tab chat systems(Eve/Darkfall). Both games have sever problem especially when receiving private messages going unnoticed.
I agree some tweaks are needed:
* Sticky the channel you last spoken in.
* A hot-key to reply to whispers (ie. r in wow)
* Make name of player a link to start a whisper to. (will help with the whole space in the name issue)
* I am pretty sure this is already in place but just in case - different color for each channel (examples: local - white, tribe - green, whispers - blue, etc...) (disclaimer: color scheme listed is for example only, I am not suggesting to use this specific color scheme.)
* Ability to leave and enter all channels.
* perhaps a DND mode where you ignore all whispers - might come in handy if the "gold farmers" start advertising.
EDIT: Personally I would be happy with a whisper system and a local bubble chat system combination. I use vent for 99% of my conversations anyways.
