The only thing global chat really helps is people LFG for their alts or characters they aren't on at the moment, which may alleviate some of the issues, but it won't be a panacea like some of you want. The only thing that will really help is more recruiting of people that play those odd hours. If you don't help this server grow, who will? They(devs) can't really advertise the server themselves since most EMU communities have unwritten rules not to recruit from each other - and thats normally the best place to advertise on the internet for stuff like this. I went around to old guild forums from guilds on my old Live server and posted threads about this game. No telling if it helped but it cannot hurt.

PS I play in non peak hours.
