global chat ?
 

prolly gonna be called out for not reading something but is there a serverwide chat channel on 1999 ?

There is no global chat on P99.


I don't think there are any plans to ever add it either.


I'm not sure on that last part though.. my vote is for no global chat either way.

From what I read, it used to be here because it's built into the emu, but they took it out because it's not classic. If you havn't noticed yet, the devs are a little OCD about mimicking everything classic, so it'll never happen.

I don't want a channel full of lol umad bro? and other trolling.

it makes time go by faster and laughing thats why i want it back

It's not really needed. Most zones have a lot of people in them already, and you can always go on the forums/mumble/IRC if you want to communicate with others. There's some debate as to whether Red99 needs global ooc as a part of its stimulus package though.

When were chat channels implemented? I miss those... I'd detest a general serverwide ooc channel though, that's a retarded idea.

Either Luclin or PoP I forget.

One of the better additions to the game. But ZOMGZ cats on the moon = the devil so clearly channels are the devil by proxy.

Chat channels were added during Velious.

So "global chat" will arrive when Velious gets here.

We're still about half population of what live was, though. I don't know what the pre-requisite population was for a stable gameplay. Probably somewhere around 1000? Of course, most players have a lot more knowledge than they had back then. So maybe that makes up for any slight population shortage.
