Add a global chat to the game

[sindriiisgaming]

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 other game has one and it sucks 14 doesnt

nah this is not a social game and allowing people to talk to each other will only result in more reports and the GMs are already overloaded with reports

They seem to have problems with too many players active in the same chat channel at the same time. Not certain what makes Novice Network different when it comes to a user limit but a few years ago we were told they were trying to increase linkshell limits to 256 but their testing servers would crash.

Remembering how trade chat from WoW would get on occasion, I'm not certain a global chat is a good idea. It's easy to think that appointing moderators would avoid most problems but players can be prone to abusing any moderation power they're given (see Novice Network on some worlds).

Is there some reason why having a social linkshell or being a member of a large and active FC won't fill the need for you?

CWL is not not big enough and not easy enough to find or get into, as for fc. covered it in the op. its not encompassing enough,most of them are dead and I cant really chat to my friends in other fcs or even really make new friends outside the fc because its hard to meet people. a global chat would fix this issue. yes mentors cant be much trusted either. but devs arent gona appoint gms to sit and watch global chat all day. just use same moderation system as NN and report problematic mentors.

Wouldn't mind a global chat. The game is way too quiet. Can always hide it if I feel antisocial. But then again we can't even have chat bubbles.

NN has limits too. Wanted to turn it back on a few days ago to check if things had changed (used to be a cesspool a while ago on my server) but it was full on mentors all evening. NN can only have 100 mentors and 412 sprouts at the same time.

yep, most of us brought that up in our discussion, its just way to small

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

We have

- Free company chat
- linkshell chat
- cross world linkshell
- FELLOWSHIP (I don't know why everyone forgets this feature) <--- 1,000 players limit

These chat are all administered by players, and this means RMT and toxic players can be removed PERMANENTLY, while you could do the same in a global chat.

im not sure the point ur making so u might need to enthesise that.

linkshells are limited to who own them, and the number of maximum allocated spaces. 200 is NOT enough if you want something more widespread. and if you dont know ppl in them youve basically no way into one
free company chat is literally just for you and ur fc, its isolating from the rest if the game, and because its run by players... theres allways drama or usurping
cross world linkshell same issues as LS. only now even worse clogging because its CW
"FELLOWSHIP" >insert woody laugh meme here< you can hardly even engage with fellowships, theres no direct chat, hardly any text space and nobody uses them or even remembers they exist.

"and this means RMT and toxic players can be removed PERMANENTLY" i think you missed the part i adressed this? "to protect the chat from RMT, accounts would need to meet certian criteria "

starting to wonder if you even read the OP
