sharkfinsix Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Other games (Like Rift) have this already in place already and with a game engine likes SWTOR's where it's virtually fully instanced and the population is so fragmented over these instances, i feel its worth a look at. Once you leave your starter planet you should be put into a global 10-19 chat, then have channels 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 and 50. This way people can communicate LFG for Flashpoints / Heroics regardless of whether they are on Tattooine at the moment or in their space ship doing missions or on the fleet. You can allow for some overlap...like when you hit lvl 17 you gain chat 20-29 to go along with 10-19. When you hit 23 chat 10-19 auto disables These channels should be simple enough to enable or disable in the preferences as well so those who do not find this useful can disable the channels as they auto turn on if they please.

uniz Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 eq2 has this too. you unlocked channels as you leveled up and could join and leave channels at anytime. while on a alt you were in 1-9 as everyone used or monitored that channel in case a max level raid or group was forming. it made grouping and picking up extra people for a raid real easy. never had a problem getting a group. those that did had either guild or player reputation issues. it was how we policed poor behavior and it worked.
