It's really quite simple:
The majority (incl. devs) agreed that global chat was a necessity in the early days of the server due to low server population (150-300 average at peak hours). The average population at off peak hours now is 150-300, so the same reasons / arguments are still just as valid now as they were then in regards to the situation for the off peak players.
The problem is, that the majority (mainly US players) couldn't care less about the woes of the minority (Europeans, Asians, Australians etc.). They are happy (most of them anyway) so fuck everyone else...
Sad...
