[Suggestion] Chat Rooms

Nickernator · October 2016

I remember this was suggested back in 2014, but this feature still doesn't exist and I believe it would be quite helpful for a lot of players. The idea of the Chat Rooms is to filter the /zone chat and organize it better.

Chat Rooms
Chat Rooms allows you to use different type of so called "Chat Rooms" to the game. Instead of using the /zone for every kind of chat, there will be more.

/trade
A chat room for trading and selling items

/lfg or /LookingForGroup
A chat room where you can simply ask for a group or ask for man for your group/

/duel
A chat room for duels

Let me know what you think

I think it can work actually, but the only downside i have right now is that i need to switch so much more between /group /zone /@(user) /say and if /lfg and trade will be added to that i think it might get a little much.

That could be a con, but what if they also added chat tabs at the same time? Something like WoW is using atm:

Where you can just add tabs yourself, and basically filter the chat yourself. Especially very useful would that be for all the guild chats

Oh I thought it didn't xD
But if those tabs exists then it would be perfect for those chat rooms

Great idea, however, many players would still use Zone chat to post WTB, WTT, and WTS. Adding a trade channel would have little effect on Zone chat. i expect the other channels would have the same limited results.

The reason that many would not use it is because we can turn it off and they feel that by posting it in zone they will reach more players. My comments are from experience in other MMOs were there was LFG channels and Trade Channels.
