Wanted: communication channels

Oct 12, 2003 zhuk link
I resently tried to chat with another player and found that it is a real pain in vendetta. You always need to type this "/msg name ..." and you private massages are always lost among the crap from global chat. Communication with a group of players is even more difficult.I thought that including a number of different communication channels into the game could help in this situation. Here is how it could work.

channel 0 -- global chat, already exists

channels 1,2,3 -- team channels, only team members can access them

channels 4..N -- guild channels (N=number of guilds), only guild members can access them

channels N..10000 -- free channels for everybody

So if you want to set up a private chat with a group, you pickup a number, say 1392, then send

\msg Name I am at ch 1392,

to every player you need, then

\switch_to_channel 1392,

discuss all buisness, then

\swich_to_channel 0

Game messages, messages sent with "\msg Name ..." or "T ..." should go to corresponding players regardless of the channel they are tuned to.

What people think about the subject?

Something along the lines of this is planned.
