Chat Channels

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

A dedicated trade channel is definitely a good idea. Make it so it can only be accessed from town so that way trade can be focused in the town instances.

Yes, we don't need the spamming of items across instances and such not, keep it to trade we don't need another World of Warcraft.

In hon you can create your own chat channels. So you and your friends could create one and all join it.

that would be nice.

but for me the given 4 channels would be enough
