Port Jeuno congestion

This is really easy to fix SE needs a server City Chat channel which would be viewed in any town. You type /c to talk in it. If you did not want to see it you could filter it.

That way people could set up groups for stuff and not have to be in port jeuno. You could be looking for activites in any town.

Additional abyssea NPCs is not a solution to jeuno congestion. SE, you need to reinstate bazaar tax. This will move then aprox. 30% mule population from port jeuno back out into the rolenberry fields exit.

Better have a setting to auto-off when I leave town (on/off/auto <- 3 settings). The whole global chat thing has come up before.

Small problem with the command name, /c is the same as /check currently Maybe /w or /g ?

I think they'd go to Sauro first in this scenario and that still wouldn't really get the real problem fixed which is all the non-bazaar people eye ballin Horst and Joachim for no reason, waiting for a shout that is never gonna happen.

It would still remove a good number of people, even if it doesn't address the reason why the majority are there. Reducing congestion is unlikely to come from just one change, but could come from a series of smaller ones, including bazaar tax, global chat channels, and additional abyssea NPCs.

/rc - regional chat, or /cc, city chat.

that works ^^b

Also, if they are worried about a ton of spam in those channels, just put a limit on how many lines you can do over 60 seconds.

I wouldn't really want another channel where long, stupid arguments are being held when all I really want to see in it is shouts for various events. Having those in /shout is enough.

Not hating on people talking casually in /sh, I just don't want it in yet another channel, and even less in a channel that is region/worldwide.

Saturday night Port Jeuno is full again. Really should set my HP somewhere else.
