You could be right about that toggle Celyia, but I still have my doubts. SEs track record of things done right in MMOs continues to decline in my eyes. I'm not trying to sound pessimistic, it's just how I feel :\

And when it comes to my experience with global chats, again, I just feel like it creates a window for people to act like fools. Yeah, sometimes they do /shout or /say stupid things but that's pretty rare so far and a limited audience. Some people really get their jelly beans off though by talking nonsense when they think a lot of people are listening to them. I mean cmon...just look at the forums!
