1) As Adeyke said, marking spot when going AFK.
2) Say you're grandma is visiting. Sweet old grandma. Say you're in the channel. And, for the sake of an example, assume that some idiot is spamming rude messages. Which would you rather have her see, Chat Gem Activated, or <insert string of profanities here>?
3) The gem is Blizzard's grand psychiological experiment. The purpose is: to make people wonder/ask what the purpose is.
4) (My original conspiricy theory, updated...) Anyway, time for how it really will go down! First off, Diablo XP Pro isn't the World Event. DXPP is just a ruse to fool the ignorant, weak-minded fools that so sadly populate most of Sanctuary these days. The real World Event is actually triggered by the *Chat Gem* (using a dead Hardcore necromancer at level 42 who was slain by a quill rat in normal in a 3 player game). Then, that Big Bad Small Charm O' Power (Annihilus) will morph all characters holding it into Goatmen. They will have a new number pad dialog, including "Ple-e-e-e-ase, no hurt, no ki-i-ill," to replace "help" and "This too good for you" in the place of "Time to die". Then, the Real World Event will be made (1 cracked sash+black tower key+Constricting Ring [which will be gotten off of Lysander, after killing him]). It sends you into the Secret Chicken Level (which is more of an act than a level, with 3 quests) with the boss of: Reziarfg! When he dies, he drops, among other things (not that it matters, because he only spawns in HC ladder (if it isn't HC ladder, some other character replaces him, and isn't as strong [Azmodan for SC ladder, Belial for HC non-ladder, and Lachdanan <you didn't think he actually was redeemed, did you?> for SC non-ladder]), and he is nigh invincible, and has many special attacks, including, but not limited to, Polymorph and Apocolypse) the Mirror Shield, a unique Tower Shield that has awesome stats, namely the ability to occasionally reflect ranged attacks outward from the defender, and doesn't display a graphic in the game (since a mirror doesn't really have a color...), instead your weapon deflects it (lightsabre action!!). This will also unlock the Urban Legend cut-scene, which addresses all myths as being completely true, regards every rumour as total fact, any legend is shown to be wholely valid and finds fabrictions by random people 100% correct.
