Please load some chat messages on page (re)load

Due to some bad experiences with the game page behaving poorly when I don't reload before starting a match, it's my habit to hit reload immediately upon opening the oEtG game tab.

However this has the bad side effect of throwing away any recent chat messages.

Would it be possible to poll the chat service and repopulate some history when reloading the game page?

little involved since there's currently no persistence on chat messages, but adding message ids would also help for loading any missed messages during a reconnection such as when computer goes to sleep for a bit

Yeah or if there's a network interruption.

From a performance standpoint, a nice little cache of recent messages would make scaling up the client a lot easier, too.
