    WoW can have world chat because of this, whereas in FFXI, a world chat channel would be very heavy on server loads - or they would have to have a server dedicated to just world chat, such as the "server messages".

    Either way, it would be very costly and take ALOT of programming.
    Where do Linkshells fit into this, then? It would basically just be a set of invisible linkshells that you enter and exit automatically. If anything, I imagine the latter part might take some effort...but not so much that we should just forget about it with, "Oh, that takes effort sorry." like so many other ideas have been shot down.
