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

I think they dropped their /s but I found it for them.

Yeah a global chat would be great. When I was in Faerie the NN was kinda the unofficial Global Chat but would revert to being the NN if any questions popped up.

I'd also add in a Recruitment Channel for in game events like dungeons/fates/trains. I know the PF exists but sometimes I think a quick "Hey need 1 healer for X and G2G" is all that is needed.

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.

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

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.

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
