  • World Chat

    There are a lot of people that play these games for the interaction with other people. By limiting the number of times you can speak for free in world chat, you are limiting game interaction among all your players. Some other games are finally figuring this out and removing the item needed to speak in world chat and they are gaining more popularity now that they have done this. I would recommend you considering doing the same, so that you can keep more players interested in the game.

    My major worry would be the spam accompanied with it and people just turning off world chat. I know I probably would.

      limiting the WC the way we have, has limited the need for chat mods, and heavily limited the issues with spamming, harassment, abuse / flaming etc, in WC

        You must play on a VERY nice server! Because, even with the requirement to use a bull horn, we get all kinds of flaming on our server - and it's happened on the other 3 servers I played on as well. I simply can't imagine what it would be like if there wasn't some sort of restriction to how much people can post!

          The amount of bullhorns could be upped a a bit - five seems kinda harsh. Some of the best discussions I have ever had was by way of world chat.

          Amount has nothing to do with moderation since it only takes one bullhorn to get nasty.

            I agree with KnowingEyes maybe 10 would be good.

                  All you would need is a mute button so that someone could be muted and a report button to report those that spam or harrass.

                          I have about 80 or 90 bullhorns. World chat tends to be pretty quiet on my server and has a few discussions but is usually filled with dungeon invite spam. Every once in a while there is some drama in there, usually after tense guild battles and when notorious players quit etc.
