Can not chat outside of the Help channel.

Jan 20, 2013 jetling link
Hello,

I am got this bug where I can not chat outside the help channel, when I tried it says I need to complete Training III first. I have already completed Training III and it shows up in my mission logs as completed. I am already outside training grounds doing the general missions in the starting area but for some reason can not chat outside of the Help channel.

Anyone has any suggestions for this or know of a fix?

OK, a few things.
1. Make sure you are still not in the training sector, being the first one you ever visited.
(If you're Serco: Sol II A-11 /// Itani : Itan M-14 /// UIT: Dau J-7)
2. Try joining another channel using the /join command. (/join 100) for instance.

These are the only things that you need to do.
If you're still having problems, then it's a Bug.

I am no longer in the training sector, I am currently in Sol II I-13. I first noticed this problem during the advance training where it tells you how to leave 100 and join 100. At the time I didnt think much of it as I was still doing the training missions, but once I completed the training and finish the Basic Flight Training, that is when I thought something wasn't right.

Did you use /leave 100 then join the Help channel? If so, then when you attempted to leave the help channel, there was no other potentially active chat channel to jump to, so VO cannot switch to anything else. If this is the case, try typing /join 100 in the chat buffer.

I tried leaving all channels and only joining 100 and it still says ***You must complete Training III before you can communicate outside the help channel

so, the BUG is on the player ... and you already provided the cause and solution.

Working as designed. Case closed.

It doesn't sound that way to me, Alloh; it sounds like this fellow has already left the training sector and is in the capitol, yet still cannot chat outside channel 1.

Is this a new character? Did you begin this character a while ago, and recently continue playing?

You didn't actually read his first post, did you Alloh?
I think this is a bug. Best report it to the devs via the Support tab on the website, so they can look into it. Reference this thread too.

I am a new player, only started a couple of days ago and yes, I am out of the training ground. I am currently 2/2/1/1/1. I will put in a ticket with the devs. Came here to see if anyone may know a fix before bugging them. I :-)

Sorry it took so long to respond. The buggy behavior was actually caused by my moving your character to a new account (which hadn't had any characters complete training 3). It's fixed now.
