Global Chat

[Rhianu]

I swear to god the people who always say no to things have never actually played another MMO. Almost every other AAA MMO has global chat channels and they do FINE. Nobody who plays those games complains about the global chat channels, because you can LEAVE the channels.

At this point, I'm pretty sure anyone who says no is just a blind WOW-hater, because WOW has global chat channels and clearly anything WOW has is bad.

^This. My god, this so much.

At first i was frustrated by the lack of a global chat because i didnt understand zip of what was going on and i didnt have anyone to ask my cazillion questions.

A bit later i came to appreciate the lack of chat, now i like the quiet, but imho global chat will be beneficial to the game and should be implemented.

If I wanted absolute silence all the time, I would play an offline game. The almost complete silence of FFXIV totally kills any sense of community the game might have otherwise had.
