Add a global chat to the game

Maybe OP is one of the people that supposedly get paid to spam other people's venues.



Opt in to. Make it off by default.

Hey you know what? this isn't a bad idea lol.... They'd all use global chat. 90% of the playerbase would turn it off in their chat tabs. Shout would be free of ads.... everything back to normal....

I do not even go to them lol. I have 250m cash stack. There is nothing you could offer me with gil. I don't even have anything to spend it on. I just bought a cassie earing as a literal excuse to spend gil

Global Chat would be fine with me as long as it is something you can opt in or out of. Global Chat would 100% be plagued with Bots selling gil.

lot of people in Omega's NN been talking about this idea with me and we wanna see it implimented. we feel like NN is currently being used everywhere as a global chat and that its not fulfilling its purpose because of this, so we wanna see a global/universal/server chat added to the game for EACh server so that players can connect anytime, anywhere regardless of fcs or instances.

to protect the chat from RMT, accoutns would need to meet certian criteria but ideally free trails could use this place too (since the game is so big on ft now, its not much fair to exclude them from it)
to protect the chat from things getting out of line, moderators would be appointed. those can be players, mentors or GMS. thats not for me to decide just to suggest.

lastly, during downtime, drought time, or just for help making friends, the global chat would be a good way to keep the games community connected together. alsmost every another game has one and it sucks 14 doesnt

Yes because I want to see Americans in my game screaming about their country 24/7 and what is politically happening when I'm trying to socialise in an MMO. I've seen enough Trump and Biden nonsense in the Wow chat already. I don't need it in ff14 as well.

what an absolutely idiotic and stupid reason to not want to be able to chat with other people online

I'm happy to chat with and make friends with Europeans, and Asians just not Americans. The wider culture of the US lacks the emotional maturity to the point they are so polarised they need to infuse their political and social values into everything.

If you want a global chat then you going to have to deal with the culture shock. You bring the world together don't be surprised when people are put off by your culture due to how you act in other games and social media platforms.

Asians don't want your chocolate in their peanut butter either.

It's discussed in every NN, by the way, mostly by the people who use it as one (crafter/gatherer mentors).

its not fulfilling its purpose

It's fulfilling its purpose in spite of this. It is true that the discussion should try to be kept related to a question that was asked or related to the game so that it educates new players.

Where it gets really bad is when there is a discussion unrelated to the game, a heated argument, trolling, spam or spoilers. However, this does not always happen and it is really just on certain servers that it tends to happen, or after certain patches which cause a player to return who has a bad attitude.

we wanna see a global/universal/server chat added to the game for EACh server so that players can connect anytime, anywhere regardless of fcs or instances.

I don't. That would be chaotic because out of the thousands of people logged in, one of the players in it will be obnoxious or cause problems.

I've seen it in other MMORPGs and I don't like it. I prefer the default chat to be /say and we have /shout if we need it.

to protect the chat from things getting out of line, moderators would be appointed.

When SE doesn't do this for anything else, it's unlikely they will do it for a global chat either. If one of those moderators steps out of line, it would reflect on them.

the global chat would be a good way to keep the games community connected together.

/shout has often done a good job of that though. Word of mouth has as well because things go viral between FC chats, linkshells, the NN and discord.

/shout

/shout

/let it all out

These are the things (along with global chat) I can do without...

chat bubbles are a horrible idea. my bf said hed straight up quit if they implimented them. the amount of screen clutter would make the game unplayable

You can tell your significant other that you can make it optional and then people can choose. The party member colour, the teleport tab sorting and UI theme are also changeable/optional.
It's like saying I don't like simple job gauges.
