Or simply simplifying the chat channels currently. As they stand, who actually uses the TRADE - MB for MB only trade? I think most people only use TRADE-NC no matter where they are. So why not change the current list of channels down to:
- /local -- Used to chat to those within the Local player name list.
- /direct -- Used for direct 1:1 private messaging
- /help -- Anything help related, ie: Where can I find xyz?
- /buddy -- Used to chat to other runners specified as Buddies(Friends)
- /clan -- Clan only chit-chat.
- /global -- Like HELP and OOC currently, a channel designed for across zone chatter
- /trade -- As mentioned above, just 1 trade channel broadcasting across the server.
- /team -- Selective chat limited to your team only.
And that's it. Remove all the TRADE-LOCATION channels, and Service channels, also remove ZONE in replacement of /global maybe, or just use LOCAL.
Obviously if these were to be used, then still having the short form of them too as: /l, /d etc etc
