Didn't matter where you were, open world, dungeon, pvp, raid, … you always were able to talk in that chat.
Never had much issues with boths either, though I was playing since day 1 and was among the first of the server to reach lvl 50 and never really opened up the lower lvl chats again (only had 41-49 turned on to see if people needed help with some of the 'harder' things in that level pool).
Was also amazing to notify people when zone events spawned in another zone they weren't currently in.
I didn't play it back in the day, but nowadays (I quit a few months ago) the low level chat is just used as a general chat, since everybody has access to it, and the other ones are basically unused. Since anyway the population is so small.
And it's mostly a nice chat too, one of the raeasons that kept me playing even though the game was a mess.
