    Yes, global chat but managed by strict moderators. Clan chat, group chat and private chat managed by the creator or clan head

    Why not host your own?

    Other. Explain. PAHub as shown in my signature. Still work in progress. However, it uses the IRC, and the IRC thus functions as a global chat. Now, we just need a plugin to make it run in the PA Main Menu or the "Social Bar" :p

    We could easily have Vanilla PA incorporate IRC Chat.

    And still kinda more reasons to, you know, not have a global chat.

    Idk, I am pretty sure telling people how to set the game up right, is a pretty good reason. You know, beside the fact that you can call out to get someone to fill a game in the first place :/

    Well everyone knows that im against the idea of a global chat if you have read the thread (Not saying you haven't of course), but this kinda stuff doesn't exactly go in favour of having one, like yelling at people about how they want to host their games.

    Well, I mean if it doesn't work it doesn't work. I play RenX, and there is a team mine limit of 40, and you can't be placing mines anywhere because base structure doors need them. You need chat to tell people, otherwise they just need kicked from game. Players in PA should probably be able to communicate hosting and stuff. Otherwise, 14 planet games are "noob traps" and either unpopulated for hours and gives bad impression or are played by multiple newbies and don't sell the game very well.

    I guess.

    But that example of yours is already possible, because the gameplay on RenX doesn't exactly stop. So you are always in game.

    I voted "No" for reason that with large number of people chat turns into trash. And I hope that will be large number.

    The thing I don't understand with no voters is you can just turn it off if you don't like it - so why should everyone else suffer?

    Because the global chat and its spam, spoils game view.
