im pretty sure you have nothing to worry about. this game community will never be similar WoW - ever. the two communities are fundamentally different in almost every way. you know what i mean if you have played ff11, for example. I believe this is partly because the asian culture is fundamentally engrained in the ff series, but that's off-topic.
hardly anyone even speaks in the one channel as it is, partly because i think this community is so reserved and feels bad for using /shout. City-spanning chat channels, along with others proposed here, would be a great thing to have for everyone. im pretty sure if we all wanted peace and quiet, we would be playing a single player game or doing something else. this thread should have full support from the players since it would benefit us greatly. some concerns that are being brought up are unrealistic and, even if true, completely pale in comparison to what we would stand to gain from this.
