Global Chat

[normalforce]

FFXI's chat worked perfectly fine, there was still spam but not an entire server worth of it. Please do not add this. There's FAR more important issues.

FFXI's chat system was acceptable but could have been a lot better.

And I don't think anyone is saying that there aren't more important issues. But the thing is, changes don't come quickly or easily. If they see this as something that people are interested in, they can start planning it out, fit it into the queue and maybe have something ready later on.

While I agree there was room for improvement, zone wide shouts for instance, I would much rather the dev team spend their time make our LS's more manageable with things like /lsmes, letting us kick inactive players, switching LSs via text command, etc, etc. Those are things that everyone wants, and ASAP.

I'm pretty sure it would probably be the same team working on these types of things, and within that small category, Global chat would be at the bottom of the list in my book.

Yup, I agree with that. Linkshells need a lot of TLC. /ls is the original, albeit limited, global chat mechanism. The team that works on one could conceivable work on the other. Hopefully they can fit in some of these updates sooner rather than later.
