Petition to make shouts in Uldah heard in all cities.

Yeh, add it in 2.0 when the servers can do it, if you still cant do it then, then you're doing it wrong, cuse its in other mmoz lol.

Shouts arent necisarly the issue, although i would agree that A "global channel" would be nice. The main reason everyone gathers in Uldah is the wards. When the global Economy is forced to be focussed into one spot , people tend to gather to that spot due to convienence of purchase/sale. The real fix would be a "global Item search/purchase/sale system" not unlike FFXI Auction houses. It is my understanding that SE wishes to re implament the AH , weither or not it will be global is unsure, BUT it would be a smart move on SE's side to do so, this will allow freedom to stay in any city of choice without any real inconvenience. However keep in mind, grand companies will still be based in cities as well as Quests and such , A little exploring dosent hurt anyone. Also If we get so lucky as to get actual physical housing, I'm sure there will be little to no way to make access to those (aside from house moogles) global.

I'd rather see a world channel implemented and being hidden by default. It'd be far more useful.

Rukkirii:
Webserver using nodejs/socket.io can run ~500 people easily with 50,000 lines of text getting pumped through every minute :) I also would like to point out that this could be solved a bit better if the chat was physically blocked from memory perhaps per user setting?

The chat you see on your screen is always there, even if you turn off or hide the chat so that wouldn't solve the problems mentioned by lag.

Create a city called Jeuno. Problem solved!

I say keep shout the way it is and make a Trans-city channel, that way people can turn it off and keep shout open. The best I have heard about getting people into the other cities,to stop congestion, is; "They should make your GC or Home city tax free in wards, that way people would be more likely to visit the other city's to make purchases and sell things." I'm sure there may be some things to work out from the idea, it does have a promising start though. :D

Rukkirii,
Thank you for replying. I really appreciate all the work you all do. I would challenge you that if ancient MUDs (text games) run on early 90's computers with thousands of people online at a time, could have world-wide shouts, there must be a way to make it work.
Again thank you.

Im sure its been said but a Global Chat channel? Would that cause the same issue?

I just want a global looking for group channel that I can join/leave as I please. In fact, it could just auto join you when you're LFG and auto leave you when you get into a party. It could be another incentive to using LFG and if lag is an issue, this would cut down on the amount of people using it at any given time.
