Server Channel

[_NOPE_]

I know that some people have already setup "server global channels", but why should they have to? Right now, the Help channel is what many people are using to "chat" server wide.

 

Why don't we just have a "Server" channel that broadcasts over the entire server just like the Help channel does, but it has no specific purpose except just to chat?

 

Add it to the default tab, and you can clear all the silly chat off of Help.

 

What say you?

I don't know how easy it would be to implement a new chat channel, but if it's hard maybe it would be easier to rename Architect Chat and use that instead. It's server-wide, nobody ever uses it right now, and, crucially, doesn't have an official intended purpose.

I've seen folks using Paragon Chat as a cross server chat channel.

 

I agree that Help is not the place for long discussions outside of helping people quickly with the game.

I could dig it! But I think for it to work, it'd HAVE to be automatically on the starting tab, otherwise it'll be a hidden channel that nobody uses like the AE one was.

Oh, I see... you are saying we need one that is coded in, like LFG, Help, System, Broadcast, and all the other default channels. 

 

Yah... that would be good. 

 

Not taking away from server channels, of course.  Eventually, people will gravitate to groups anyway.

Basically "Server Broadcast", only in server, not global, across all zones, and no prescribed purpose other than general chat.
