You think the aoc community is bad?  Darkfall will set a new precedent for bad.  I wouldn't want to hear or see what anyone would say. 

Darkfall will be a gankers paradise.  Why would you not expect chat to reflect that kind of attitude?

Boring old tired asumptions grow old, boring and tired.

While you're busy meme-ing, you might as well throw the word "true" in there.

All seriousness aside, I think the lack of any kind of region chat is a bad thing. I hated it in Warhammer. I guess those in pre-made guilds will be fine, right off the bat. While everyone else will be wondering how they're even supposed to find a guild to join.

A mmorpg without a global chat, plain simply sucks in my experience. I thought it would be nice without one for a change but after playing Warhammer online (untill they added one) all I can say is OUCH. Cus it hurt so much.

You could not read peoples funny discussions while out in the wild alone... you could not ask questions quickly or just chit-chat with the rest. It felt like you were locked in a dark room with no door to be found anywhere.

global chat, means anywhere in the game, right?

let's take wow for example... if you're in the same guild or on the same team, then you have a global chat and can communicate to anyone anywhere in the game.

that's it.  IF you're in a CITY, the city has certain channels linked, right?

then, and i could be wrong, aren't there possibly like recruitment chat or something that you can opt in/out of, that you might could see globally?

same thing that darkfall is going to have.

so um, what is the big deal/drama about their announcement?  other than people who have lessthanstellarreadingcomprehension going "look at me look at meeeeeeee"?

seriously, most of the stuff you read on the darkfall forum (pro and con), seem like they could be eliminated with a few boots to the head.

Only game that has successfully pulled off a large area chat is ffxi, but their grouping flag system and window is excellent.

There really isn't any good excuse for not putting a regional or global chat system in an mmo unless you plan to have a good grouping mechanism in game.

How did FFXI's LFG/grouping system work?

There really is not a legit reason for not having global chat. It's just one less feature, maybe they have a reason for leaving it out? We'll just have to wait and see.

With most of the people on these forums and on the O-Boards really I wouldnt want to hear about 99% of them mostly due to most of them being asshats , funny thing is I want to play this game also, its a good call they decided not to have a global chat dont have to bother seeing leet speak in my chat box and moronic convos about Chuck Norris and other BS I dont care about..

No global chat is good for a pure PVP game.

It is however bad for building a game community.

But perhaps there is no such thing as a good game community anymore.

Yep, people made the same argument on the Warhammer forums too.

Funny that NO GLOBAL chat built the SWG community, and that it actually was one of the reasons almost all SWG players(Pre-NGE) says SWG was the best community game.
