    +1 to this. It's a great idea. It's so good that EQ implemented back in '99. I believe they even had cross server channels, as well. I remember listening in (to another server) as Kerafin was taken down.

    But back to global channels, if you had to opt-in first, that would be great. A LFP channel, a bazaar channel, a crafting channel (or one channel per class), etc.

    As long as it can be turned off — I have no issues with it.

    I miss having global chat channels! This game feels dead and quiet without them.

    General, Trade, and Looking For Party would be great options. With language localization, please.

    If you don't like them, you can filter them off.

    Unlike a lot of others in this game, I don't spend all my time in Ul'dah. I don't like the desert. Having global chat channels would help me feel connected to the community while I'm in Limsa Lominsa or Gridania.

    I don't see why anyone would be against this idea... It would be as simple as turning it off in the chat menu options if you don't want to see global chat.Or, just by having a separate tab for global chat all together.

    The terrible communication system in this game needs to be addressed. As it is right now, i find it difficult to communicate with other players, the chat interface is clunky and annoying. If i'm doing anything in game (crafting/fighting/whatever) i find it difficult to send or reply to tells. And this being a MMORPG, communication between players should be a top priority.

    Couldn't you just filter it out, or put it on another tab, or blacklist individual spammers?

    I've never seen global chat be a positive thing.
    In every game I've seen "Global Chat" = Global spam/harassment/crude language/RMT advertisements.
    I don't like global chat~ :3

    Maybe yes, but I am simply going to go with "I am against it"...I don't mind that you guys want it nor would I really be upset if it ever shows up but I don't like it.

    I think the best solution that wouldn't ruffle anyone's feathers would be to have people sign up to every channel they are interested in. People who don't care, won't notice. And people who do care can turn on and off the various channels at their leisure.

    Of course, with all this new chatter, another tab would be desirable.
