The Problem of World Chat

Muhip · 2019-04-18T01:58:38Z

(The lack of) world chat was as important as population cap in vanilla.Back then it was not used at all! You could create the channel but noone would join since they didn't know it existed. People went to major cities to look for others in /Trade which doesn't even have everyone in it.Everytime someone left a dungeon in the middle you had to whisper your friends or go for the Trade channel.That was painful but it paved the road for good friendships. You knew you had to make friends with most people you've completed a dungeon with (even DPS) because it was wise to keep patient and reliable people close.Warlocks were much more welcomed in groups because they could summon you back with the new guy.If the world channel exists, it'll be a short announcment on /4. World and you won't be urged to add good players to friends because you are likely to find any role whenever you want.Besides, existence of world chat kills the spirit of local chats like Barrens Chat!In vanilla you felt a warm feeling for different places like Barrens because you thought "Here's lot's of people to talk to, maybe even for a dungeon group".

People will use the World chat like they use the LookingForGroup chat or even the Localdefense or worlddefense.
