Channel 1 relay

Dec 25, 2025 Lord~spidey link
As much as I despise discord I guess it's here to stay, suggestion is in the title; either significantly modify the current relay so it can group messages and distribute them to multiple ingame channels or alternatively fire up a second one that gets piped into a new discord channel labelled #help

Unlike the 100 relay I don't see a point to having a rate limit on the discord end like we currently do for 100 (I've never seen channel 1 get congested like 100, for the time being it really doesn't need it).

On the same note, until we get a complete localization package that automatically sets language for the user and funnels them into their respective chat (I'm not holding my breath for this; localization/translation is a massive undertaking)

It would be mighty cool if the respective language channels in discord would also relay to the respective ingame language specific channels (they did see very limited use circa 2004~2008 don't get me wrong this isn't super important but it would be nice to have in the long run if the game eventually blows up in a non anglophone country for whatever reason)

I'm talking about these "designiated" channels here:
70 : German chat
97 : Windows Users Channel
98 : Linux Users Channel
99 : Apple Macintosh Users Channel
100 : General Chat
101 : French Chat
102 : Russian Chat
103 : Spanish Chat
104 : Dutch Chat
105 : Norwegian Chat
106 : Finnish Chat

I was searching the board and came across this suggestion from about a year back concerning an event channel for station news, guide hosted events, blockade, unrat announcements & persistent events that's tentatively related to this: https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/38936#431288
