FF14 should have a global chat system

[Driavna]

One of the beauties of MMORPGs is going online and watching drama unfold over all kinds of stuff. In just a few hours in Lost Ark's zone chat, I witnessed people debating economics, vaccines, China, censorship, capitalism and getting real mad and tilted at each other. There just isn't the same vigor in FF14. You can feel the energy pumping in the zone chat as people pour their soul into crafting witty insults and arguments over something that literally doesn't matter. I wish it happened more on FF14 because that energy is definitely there. I see it every day on the forums and subreddits! We can harness that power and create meaningful, player-driven content if we just made a global chat system for people to display their sincerely held unpopular opinions about all kinds of things!

With how easy is to trigger player a chat like that will be pure gold 100% guarantee. I don't think the world is ready for such magnificent spectacle. For now novice network should do I'm afraid.

Skiros with another troll thread.

Novice Network, everything from erp to world conflicts show up in that chat...

OMG this would be amazing. Tired of typing /shout every 5 minutes.

Sometimes the drama in this game is more entertaining then the game itself. Yes please!

Counter idea: there should exist a zone in the game where rules don’t apply for chat. You can say whatever you want to others in the zone with no repercussions. Don’t like it, don’t go to the zone. Like a verbal version of the purge.

Or alternatively, a sub page of this forum that is similarly lawless.

(Obviously won’t happen, I know.)

You and I both know that people will still go there just so they can get offended.

That thread about what makes you cringe is the living proof this statement. All it took was one guy talking about women and what they wear and he was sent to the internet's shadow realm:

Twitter.

Counter counter idea: A zone with absolutely no ability to chat. No say, tell, shout, yell, emote, etc. Don't like it, don't go.

Hey, I don’t kink shame.
