Suggestion: Server-Wide Chat Channel

[DrWho]

Party chats capable on PS2. Restrict chat to linkshell only too many kids play this game.

(Server lag) (Shout) (No, thanks.)

I like the idea about seeing more text and "feeling more alive"... But I'd worry too much about the channels being perpetually turned off anyway due to spam or obnoxious comments-the kind that have always tended to clutter non-helpmeout Jeuno and Whitegate shouts anyway.

Actually I agree with implementing Server Wide Chat Channels, And whereas we are not playing World of Warcraft we are playing one of the few games that does not have server wide channels. The reason why I am in favor is simply because we always have that one overcrowded zone, be it Jeuno or White gate. SE has been planning on adding Abyssea Teleport and Stone NPCs to the other nations which would alleviate overcrowding in zones, but make it MUCH more difficult to find people for shout groups to go ANYTHING. Having this new chat channel would make it a win win situation.

People like pick up groups, the huge crowding in port shows this. All they need to do is make it like a 2nd linkshell that you can put on or off.

That what ppl already do, they call that social linkshell.

[Runespider]

One that you can pickup from an NPC that everyone on your server can use, not just your little clique. Idea being for everyone to have a serverwide type shout system they can create groups in. Put a limit on how often you can type in it to stop spam etc, 1-2 min spam delay. Woudl work great.

[Raiyoh]

I think that would be a great idea! And players who don't care to have the extra spam wouldn't even have to pick it up, or equip it.

[Ilax]

What i mean is you can do such of linkshell if you wan and just spread it around, if ppl bored they can equip it and see whats going on, if 64 is too small in your project maybe you can ask SE to increase this part.

I don't need to have absolutely nothing to do for it to be worth watching shouts.

If spam is a problem, then you filter the global channel.

[Ilax]

I don't need to have absolutely nothing to do for it to be wortn watxhing shouts.

For you maybe, for me it would froze my mind. It would create an extra issue for me as i stated, doubt i would be the only one, also note we already face enough spam as it is. Such of tool could also be use the wrong way causing more trouble then anything else, and who would be the moderator of that channel?
