Chat Channels

If u introduce something like 'trade broker' npc that would sell ur items to other players for a certain fee or something like that, u would drastically decrees the spam and overflow in trade channel and make players have more time for game and not stand at the outpost for days to spam sell items.

I agree that there is a need for LF channel (which i agree if having options to apply to a group would be the best), group, guild, friend list, private, system info, whisper and overall channel/chat options, which should all have their own colors and could be turned off or on according to wishes of a player.

Besides the well known "chats" that are mandatory to a game like this (something like a "Main", "Trade", "LFG" [in wide areas / towns], "Party", "Guild") I would like to raise the question what happens when you are in an instance with your party playing along and a member leaves or disconnects.

I personally dislike the "matchmaking" tools e.g. the dungeonfinder in WoW.

So I suggest the opportunity for the partyleader to enter the globel "LFG / LFM" chat and pick out the class / level / whatevs needed to finish the run.

If a suitible player via the chat system is found he can be invited to the group and enter the instance.

Having a Instance chat where playing can talk between themselves in game is a good thing, it promotes communication ;) i've had some good laughs/good experiences and strong talk bout the game etc..

Having to many chat options might overwhelm the casual first timers, maybe some simple ones like global/instance could work

Has anyone talked about 'Scrolling Combat Text' and a. a way to enable it/disable it. b. to have separate channels in your chat. Basically a General/Local, Party/PM, Guild, Combat. [customization by player]

The infamous Trade chat or Guild Leader Chat channel

Maybe class specific trading channels instead of axe trading, sword trading etc. Because there could be a variety of wepons useful to any one class.

Also, maybe dedicated clan chats or something like that.

Trade can be in forum just make marketplace

chat trade in game is bad idea much offerte = big spam and You can't find interesting You offete

I would like a trade chat channel because it will help keep spam out of other channels. With it possible leave/ignore certain channels, this could help with players who don't want to ignore every idiot spamming or leave a different chat. At the same time, making it clear in game that trading is designed to take place on the forums could also prevent that.

If there is content designed for full groups, a channel designed for such will be vital. If not, I think you should still consider it.

Party chat and whispering (private messages) are of course mandatory.

Since not a lot of people will be in each instance as far as I understand, maybe there should be larger general channels for people who are interested in chatting with random people. Act channels is a good suggestion, or perhaps just larger chat channels that fill up to 100 (or whatever) and then creates a new channel that starts filling up. E.g. General Channel 1, General Channel 2, General Channel 3 etc. It would mix up the random people in the channel to different skill and/or progression levels, which might be a good thing, or it might not be.

Custom channels would be great, especially until/if guilds/clans are added. Easily finding your group of friends etc. Creating a channel would be done by joining an empty channel. Channel admins or similar are not a huge necessity, but would be nice.

A Trade Channel Would be amazing for if you're looking to sell or buy. THERE SHOULD BE CLASS CHATS

you could get the advice you need from same class members.

Then finally Act Chats as you suggested and League specific
