Give me RP servers or give me death. Or no global chat to combat spam.

I know RP servers have been denied at least for the time. But for the love of god can we get something, anything that will ban real life bs like politics from global chats. It's not even about even about RP, it's just about keep the toxic waste out of the game. Yeah I know you can /ignore or whatever, but on a healthy server it's never ending and i just end up turning off the chat.

Edit. I've changed the title to something else, that better fits the discription. Because no global chat filter can combat, toxic spam from other players, or gold selling.
I do have to point out the irony in having my original title changed.

I think that there are other things more important than making dumb speech against ToS and wasting money/time to deal with it. Even spamming things like "my name jeff" shouldn't be against ToS, it's just a waste of time, unless it's spamming things like "buy gold at W vv W . ash3s g0ld .c 0m", which will hopefully be reportable and bannable.
I'm sure that there will be "political" guild names, character names, stall names, etc. and the reality is that if you try to make some of them against ToS, you'll end up choosing a side like most software companies/social medias [MMORPGs were the first social medias IMO] do and things will just get worse from there.
So I believe that being able to permanently ignore/block people by right clicking their name in the chat UI is probably the best solution to this phenomenon.
There should 100% be a recruiting tab for server and per land mass.
Honestly don't care about people talking about political talk or anything unless they are being toxic on purpose. Ignore feature is great if you don't want to hear someone. I'm more about free speech and not controlling speech.
Sometimes people want to talk about crazy shit happening in the world and sometimes that involves the insanity of politicians making shitty decisions.
This should limit your potential spam and real life chat significantly. An RP channel would be nice but unsure how you'd moderate that without micromanagement.
Chat honestly should be more customized so you can have chats in different land mass zones and create your own filters that are effective for you and what you are trying to achieve.
You can have some presets for those that want to be more rp and not know what is going around in the world as a whole.
Though for people that do want to know what is going on they should be able to have chats per region or a server as a whole so they can keep a eye on things i feel that is necessary. With filters per area they can set as many tabs as they want and what areas to reduce how active some chat tabs are so they can better keep up.
Want to emphasize there is no reason to stop a global chat, just set it up so people not interested in it can have less tabs and not see comments as it has 0 effect on them with other people that need to know what is going on.
When managing a guild, politics, etc i feel global chat very important and having different tabs as per parts of the world it will help organize information i need to look through. But you should always have access to all them.
No global chat is better then some global chats i've seen. Normally if the global chat is just advertisement for gold sellers that's about the time I quit and go back to playing rimworld. Global chats can be fun, and entertaining, I just don't think you can trust todays popluation of gamers with that responsibility
For some RP servers I've played on talking OOC is against rules, so talking about politics, ect can get you a temp ban. It helps with immersion and stuff, but it's really nice not having to read a news feed while looking for players for a dungeon or something.
They changed it. It was RP Servers VS Normal Servers Global/LFG Chat Messages *****Trump 2069*****/####CLINTON4ever!#####
The conversation wasn't about having a chat filter. If there's not a chat filter then the games chats will be destroyed on day one. It's more about having an RP server and this is an argument for them.
Ironically my title was changed for reasons. To me starting a threat here debating politics is the same as taking part in a RL political debate in game. But I was more arguing for RP servers. I get people like to talk politics, but with this game possibly releasing around 2024 and elections that same year. I'd prefer to play on an RP server with like minded players who play to get away from the world.
I think by virtue of the way nodes play, all servers will be RP servers in a way.
In my experience, RP servers and groups are often too planned out to be fulfilling as they decide storylines ahead of time.
With the servers as they are, all actions and reactions are natural and in itself a form of real RP.
so the Mod made this post actually relative for good feedback and you reverted back to a troll post? There are no rp servers in the game... And that honestly sounds stupid in enforce banning people on a server over how they talk. That is exactly why you don't see rp servers anymore they ruined it for themselves.
I understand and like the idea that no rp servers means all servers are rp, but it's unrealistic. It just sucks for people who want to play an Rpg without their immersion being constantly broken. Yes, there will always be griefers of rp, but rp servers help by creating a server-wide culture that shuns those people and an official rp server will just make it easier for rpers to play together.
As for global chat, as long as I can turn it off, I'm mostly happy. I'd prefer if everyone kept their opinions and irl issues out of a fantasy world full of strangers who don't care about you. There are tons of discords, forums... real life people... to talk to about those things.
I am 100% on board. I just want the same rules for everyone and though I'd like chat to have various filters and channels so that I can reach people that are interested/already engaged in the content I'm looking to do I don't think a global chat is necessary and will just become a clusterf*ck no matter how harshly it's policed.
Having chats split into node specific/ trade specific/ content specific would be better I feel
So node chats would be general but you have to be in that certain node to see it. And all the animal husbandry people can have a global channel but it's purely for chats about animal husbandry. Then you have content specific so certain world boss ecounters could have a chat so various parties can coordinate efforts.
(Of course guilds and parties/raid groups would have their own channel)
Something like that appeals to me much more than an all encompassing global general chat.
It doesn't change anything gameplay related, all servers are still the same regardless of that label and there are no special rules, but now players somewhat know what to expect from that server. And we know that there will be an unofficial list of hardcore, PvE, RP, twitch streamer, furry, etc. servers in Discord or Reddit, but now instead of needing to go somewhere else to find the server you're looking for, there's a label in the server selection screen. That's just my personal opinion, but it doesn't affect me too much since I'll be avoiding the twitch/RP/PvE servers anyway, so I could be biased.
In what scenario would a public global chat be useful?
I can only think of newbies asking for help with a griefer.
Node channels should be accessed to everyone that wants it. When you are running a guild and dealing with politics and needing to know information it is pretty important. People that aren't as social or are not trying to be in a leadership position wouldn't understand and simply think it is what they want with no global chat or having access to chats in all parts of the world.
Honestly i think that is pretty selfish, rather then turning the chat off the simply say no global chat or have access to other channels. Because they want to attempt to force rpish ideas on people, im sure they would prefer simply and only local chat.
This rpish forced type chat is a issue as then you are more focused on forums and discord than actually using in game chat and making connections through that. If you don't want to be apart of any channel and only want to have local there is no reason why in game thy cant set their filters for only that, rather then force their more antisocial traits on everyone.
@maouw In terms of running a guild and politics.
put your "toxic" words at a filterlist
toggle off world chat
cancel your internet and live under the rock
stop crying like a little ....
Thankfull that Euro chats are less annoying.
That can be a great idea and feature they can have blocked words, or if they say a blocked work it does this for the whole chat **** or doesn't show them the message. And they can ignore as much of the chat they want. Instead of wanting to force their desire for a blocked chat on other people.
Well, there are a lot of people against RP Servers, so it ain't looking good for you, OP!
I hope i see a hardcore rp guild that isn't stuck up with "rules" and kicking people unless they follow them. But are super fun on the server making things interesting and is kind of a meme.
I hope there are lots of them! I remember riding by a dungeon in a game I was playing, and came across an RP Guild getting ready to go inside, and I ended up stopping and watching while they went in. Every server needs that.
