What do you guys think about a serverwide chat channel?
I was on r99 for awhile and switched over to blue but one of the biggest things I miss is the serverwide chat channel. I think one of the hardest things to do on this server is form a PUG outside of one of the major leveling hotspots. Idk, i've always thought that having a serverwide chat channel would be a huge quality of life improvement for many players. I guess that hardest thing to do would be to moderate it though, I definitely wouldnt want any /auction of any kind because that would kill EC tunnel and the potential to troll would be massive so it would need moderation. What do you guys think ?

While I like the idea, the thing about server chat is that it doesn't take much for a few idiots to ruin it for everyone, and when everyone is 1k+ people (which almost certainly includes "a few idiots") that means the idea is almost dead before it starts unfortunately.
Also, it's not classic (Red "gets away with" several unclassic things because of it's low population/viability as a server). Edit: Just had a thought: what might be cool/possible is some other way of finding pickup groups, like a pickup group forum where people could post "40 Paladin, on until 7pm EST tonight" or something. Or like a wiki page where you edit a list of "currently LFG people" (although I'd be afraid that people wouldn't take themselves off afterwards). Or even a "Find a pickup group/LFG person" site. Not a project I have the energy for, but someone might. |
A bunch of morons will post racist/homophobic/meme garbage and ruin it for everyone within minutes of a global chat being implemented. I don't know why it is, but global chat on every game I've played brings out the worst in people.
Personally I think it's perfect as is, and in tradition of being as classic as possible, global chat will never be a thing on Blue. |
Or have a general chat, then specific chats, or user created chats. Like on the Live servers chat. Plus ability to mute it.
