    Cross-Server Invites

    Since I have seen all of this talk of cross-server shouts and/or channels, I got to thinking. What if we could cross server invite? Would be a nice addition to cutting down time getting folks together, say for instance, they all had Nexus Capes. Party leader could be forming for example in...V. Dunes, boom all invited, all to party leaders location thanks to Cape and CS invites. Meh, just something I was bored thinking about. Let's discuss.

    No one talked about cross server chat. It was cross-zone chat. e.g. a chat channel for entire cities and/or regions instead of seperate chat by area.

    Took me a triple-take to realize the OP is talking about server-wide invites, not "Invite people from 6 different servers to exp". Though a cross-dimensional Dunes party would be pretty hilarious.

    Party leader (Dunes) Invites member 1 (Sandy), invites member 2 (Bastok), invites member 3 (Windy), invites member 4 (Jeuno), invites member 5 (Aht U.). Hopefully that cleared that confusion up. Not inviting from other servers, Same server invites, just no zone restrictions.

    The idea of server wide chat channels is better than city channels. Would defeat the purpose of what other forums are discussing. Read further into what they are wanting. Such as AION, there are certain channels dedicated to certain things. And for the most part, are server wide.

    I am thinking the Dungeon Crawling we will be receiving in the future updates my be something like wow dungeon instances with server wide invites but I could be wrong.

    No. Server wide would result in too much spam. Even WoW doesn't have server wide chat (though the trade channel connects all of the major cities and the community itself mostly sticks to actual trade related talk). Chat by region would be just perfect.

    Universal region chat could become annoying, though. Einherjar, Dynamis, Abyssea, and Limbus at the least all share regions even when the zones themselves are completely separate. I don't want to hear someone's Dynamis-Jeuno shouts when I'm in Dynamis-Xarcabard.

    City channels wouldn't be too bad, though. The server load increase isn't massive, and it allows people to hear and respond to shouts without standing in the central zone. Personally, I've always preferred Ru'Lude to Port Jeuno anyways.
