Chat Channels

well...

IMO, easier way is to set a lot of choices and make players be able to create custom channels.

In general most players tend to leave this chats for ventrilo/ts or some VOIP programs later on, so mostly newcomers/traders would really use them.


Kinda off-topic, but I really miss "friends chat" as we had in "conquer online"
Its a chat where when you say something, all your friends will c and so on, it helped me a lot several times to get something and i could never find on any other game.
Im not talking about some kind of "MSN" in game, its just a chat, that when used all player in your friends list will be able to see.

I like the "friend chat" idea.

me too im glad i could share it somewhere as no other game seemed to think abt such a simple idea :/

They should have a multi customizable thread. Me personally I don't really need 10 different threads. I might only use my guild/party/world/combat.

That would be all.

|information|global|act|Local|recruitment|Trade|Party/group|Guild|friend|

that is what i want

My idee :

My suggestion / idee :

| General | Local | Party | Guild | WTT | WTB | WTS |
System | Friends

In this case , 3 channels reserved : trade , selling and buy : WTx :Want to Trade, Want to buy , Want to sell .

I agree with badname...

I like the idea of personal chat channels from the first poster, although this could be enveloped in party and guild channels. It'd really be a matter of A) how much would people need provate chat channels outside of party and guild (especially when a lot of players use programs like teamspeak, etc). B) What kind of load would this have on networks and the server (doesnt sound big, but imagine if half the players all had 3 or 4 personal channels going each). Im probably wrong though, im not a network expert, and this kind of this ppossibly has little to no network load. But if the personal channel idea is feasible im all for it.

Secondly, a trade channel is must have if trading is going to be existent in anyway. Mostly because, this game will very likely fill up with chinese farmers also, and it wont be fun trying to have a conversation with a random person on the public/instance channel, if its being constantly spammed with "BUY CHEAP GOLD $XX/mil".

Having a chat for a whole act would be good, but I think having a chat channel option for the quest you're on would be a good idea. This way if you're having trouble with a quest you can talk to other people who are on it, and then you could even group with them.
You should also be able to make your own channels to just invite a few of your friends to, or something along those lines. Friend chat is a good idea, but sometimes you may only want to talk to a small portion of them

Maybe there is an idea do make localization Channels, so that Spanish peoples talk to Spanish if they want. I think its a good way to support questions. My English is okay, but sometimes i want to ask something in German. But how can i find German players?

I think this would take some Talkers in different channels, so we get not too many Massages.

Localization is planned, why not begin with the Chat? =)

Maybe we can it setup in the Options, what languages we talk and then get this channels also.



PS: i haven't read all posts, if this idea is old. I'm sorry.
