Yeah the chat I saw has been pretty bad. There have been quite a few trolls spurting hat speech.

You might be able to correct this if you went to something like a $1 fee to get on general chat. Something really small that would cause people to value not getting banned only to create a new account and it would keep the kiddies out.

Another problem was that there were a lot of non-english speakers on. You might want to have them on separate servers so that their messages don't crowd out the english ones and our messages don't crowd out the spanish ones.

I like the idea of paying for general chat. That way it can be taken away when it's abused.

Actually, I leave it turned on even though I'm playing on my own. As a writer, some of the bizarre things you see whizz by (and with so many people online, they do whizz by these days), are good inspiration for characters or settings. All right, it sometimes devolves into a slanging match, but overall it amuses and amazes me. That said, I'm not sure how often I can put up with people asking after Maligro's Spike...
