Add a global chat to the game

[Jeeqbit]

lot of people in Omega's NN been talking about this idea

It's discussed in every NN, by the way, mostly by the people who use it as one (crafter/gatherer mentors).

its not fulfilling its purpose

It's fulfilling its purpose in spite of this. It is true that the discussion should try to be kept related to a question that was asked or related to the game so that it educates new players.

Where it gets really bad is when there is a discussion unrelated to the game, a heated argument, trolling, spam or spoilers. However, this does not always happen and it is really just on certain servers that it tends to happen, or after certain patches which cause a player to return who has a bad attitude.

we wanna see a global/universal/server chat added to the game for EACh server so that players can connect anytime, anywhere regardless of fcs or instances.

I don't. That would be chaotic because out of the thousands of people logged in, one of the players in it will be obnoxious or cause problems.

I've seen it in other MMORPGs and I don't like it. I prefer the default chat to be /say and we have /shout if we need it.

to protect the chat from things getting out of line, moderators would be appointed.

When SE doesn't do this for anything else, it's unlikely they will do it for a global chat either. If one of those moderators steps out of line, it would reflect on them.

the global chat would be a good way to keep the games community connected together.

/shout has often done a good job of that though. Word of mouth has as well because things go viral between FC chats, linkshells, the NN and discord.

/shout

/shout

/let it all out

These are the things (along with global chat) I can do without...
