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.

(Mod note: changed thread title.)

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'm planning that I'll have a few basic discord channels between guild & non-guild friends. I'm guessing there will be a few of us that have been acquainted on the forums for several years to connect across guilds on the same server.

All of these are MUCH more valuable than a global chat.

I still think selling global chat in the cash shop would solve this issue. 1 dollar for 120 characters. Then when someone is talking in global you know it's important, or you know who's got money to burn.

A region chat would be great. Or a Node's Zone Of Influence chat. Castle Region Chat. There's really so many options.

No

No to what part?

Your outrageous pricing on the Pay-To-Talk.

No one would buy it at that price.

Nearly $0.05 per word? In this economy?

@CROW3 for sure. Discord has helped bring gamers together even better. It make so much more sense than a 10,000 person chat room that is global chat. I guess if a server population is down to a couple hundred then global chat would really be needed, but there's bigger problems if that's the case.

lmao! yeah that was the point. It's a terrible idea. I was being facetious. But we allowed emojis then you could get more words out with less characters. Think of the new short hand that could be created.

Played a game where you could do exactly that. It was awful. I hope I never play a game that has this again.

Free chat, and join the channels you want and stay out of what you do want. Pretty simply. Will have 0 effect on you and benefit the people that need chat for politics and will deal with running through the comments that are pointless.

Ie* Something going on with a guild that you help time to time, people looking to talk to leadership or join a guild, people trading or looking to form groups, issues between guilds and/or nodes and giving solution to problems, general politics between nodes, offering more social elements of being in a active world with peopel chatting then never seeing your chat log move with it only being in a smaller area around you, etc.

Well, this is not a joke to me, there were games have things like you said, those cash players happy to buy to shit talk at global chat and even what they said will pop up right at the center of your screen for seconds and you can't turn off anything and they shit talk to each other all the time.

Yeah, @Volgaris 's worry is true, even now, it's not something that won't happen in this economy, it's just cash players have the money and they want spend that way, I mean just look at those p2w BS games do you still think this can't be true in today?

Chat that for players should just stay limited range no matter what shouldn't be global.

Mag7spy

Limited range is literarily rp server levels lmao. There is no reason to stop people from communicating, or force people to have to move to discords to do half the communications. This is such a old archaic thinking to prevent people from being able to communicate for no reason.

Ah, no, sorry.

I know all about things like Megaphones in BDO and whatever else. Considering how bad MMO design decisions have been lately, I probably should not joke in that way, though.

BDO charges for Lines, not characters. $0.40 a line I think. It changes. Much more reasonable per-character pricing. That's why your suggestion wouldn't make sense, it wouldn't be competitive in the cutthroat world of monetized Global Chat.

Sapiverenus

no global chat. Mage enchanting item that allows for long-distance communication.

Asraiel

Global should not be in it should be enouth to have a
Node Influence Chat that depens on the influence zone of the node your in. That should be global enouth.
besides that the known chats like guild, friends, family, clan, maybe a churchal chat that only can be written or read inside the churches.

Hundreds of discord message are going to get annoying id rather have that in game.

*will play the game, will have 0 discord message outside of friends/guilds... if i even join the guild's discord*

If you don't want to have to roam discord to have those message just ignore discord...

And discords server for each serv will exist, for a simple and obvious reason : discord doesnt need people to be logged in to speak to them... While for global, yes. Discord is more closer to a forum chat than an ingame chat.

Also,
Chat for trade : being mostly local trade, and large scale trade needing the economic t6, chat won't really help
Politic/diplomacy between node ? excellent reason to not have the chat, the mayors or their emissaries will just have to meet, directly, face to face, or... oh yes, maybe they will prefer go vocal, which would be discord or discord and not a written global chat.
Guild recruit : still thru discord + forum, even if there are global chat, and more than that, you will try to find guild around your place to avoid to have to move too much all you gathered on caravan.
And could go on.

After 15 years of MMORPG, if there is one chat dedicated to meaningless messages, it is the global chat...

You don't get it, there is a lot you need to have to run a guild and using RP as a reason to stop chat doesn't help. It makes you have to do everything out of the game to chat, no one is going to meet face to face. I just means i have to deal with more messages on discord than in game.

If you don't like global chat don't use it, pretty simply. Doesn't effect you.
