| Author | Condensing Chat Rooms |
|---|
| it has come to my attention that the numerous chat rooms aren't being used. the inquiry room is basically a common room while all other rooms are neglected. why not scrap the extra rooms and save the mods and players from switching through the chat rooms to monitor activity and find help? |

If it doesnt take too much server space I would rather let them as they are. I sometimes use them for private talk in native language without risking BAN or need of private channel use.
For example, trying to explain how to use mini-arts to a non-english speaker takes 30 minutes. With chat, it takes 5 minutes. It would take 5 more if I had to explain how to use a private channel.:-) |
| The other rooms are used as they are needed and there is nothing to gain by removing them. |
for Omega22:
it's not a matter of server space but a matter of convenience. perhaps a non-english chat room could be introduced for your purposes though the monitoring of chat rules would become extremely difficult... |
| there are currently 9 chat rooms and of the 12 chat mods, 9-10 are active. this would require each to man a chat room 24/7 to do their job. i'm not saying take all of them away but certainly it could be condensed into only a few. |

because i only see people go to inquiry room |
well, some mods thinking to merge those room into 1.
we dont have much players like ru server; that could be useful to separate the chat room for different purposes.
com server could just use 1 chat room. we dont have much chat room user too :) |
Perhaps an english chat and a multi lingual(spelling?) chat?
or if possible have an option to open a private chat with another player by clicking somehting onthe profile, but that would be a completely different feature request. |
| some people go in the common room thats how i met ivo678 and ash619 |
well, some mods thinking to merge those room into 1.
we were thinking of making it into 4, remember? |

No he doesn't remember :P cos he wasn't part of the discussion...only you, me, guru and...Arctic I think? |
Actually this has been suggested a long time ago (though I suggested it amongst the mod-hubs a long long long time ago). Got alot of +1's but not from the admins apparently - cause it hasn't changed.
The -1 side to this is "What if" the .com site reaches the same numbers as .ru? In this case multiple chat rooms will be necessary for the inlfux of people. As for the "non-language" chat room - bad idea, that would become a cursing, out of control, flooder's paradise. Not to mention, it would go directly against the game rules.
On the +1 side, Skunder wouldn't have to go chat surfing to help or police as many rooms. It also might make it easier for the chatters to find the correct room they're looking for.
Rooms previously suggested:
Common (the current inquiry room)
Merchant (well, buying and selling)
Combat (duels, GB's, hunts, thieving, etc)
Gaming (for roulette and 2 towers game) |
Why removing anything?
With Inter-Clan tournament, I can tell you the Group Battle channel is quite busy.
If some channels are underused, so be it. It may change in the future and it's not like chat channels are coming from a limited supply preventing other updates on this server, is it?
Having rarely used channels is good because it allows people to have "private conversation" if needed. But they each serve their purpose, even if people - wrongly - cram themselves in the default chat room. |
