In-game chat restored; now the #GAME channel

Post by Rias »

In-game chat has been restored. The OOC and CHAT commands both go to the #GAME channel, which is for on-topic discussion only. Please keep technically-on-topic silliness to a minimum, and use the TELL command for contextless communication between two people, so that the global #GAME channel can be regarded as a useful one rather than something to be tuned out.

There will not be an off-topic channel in-game. If you wish to connect with your fellow players over off-topic things not related to the game, feel free to join the Discord (http://discord.gg/HYzGn8T) where you can chat in the off-topic #chat channel there. Using tells is another option, as those are private between two people and not publicly broadcast so they won't cause noise.

Thanks to everyone for being patient and supportive while we tried some time without any in-game chat at all. While I feel it had some upsides, I was convinced by feedback that it took away the feeling of community many people enjoy, as well as made it more difficult to find help, particularly for new players. Don't forget that you can use the CHANNELS command in-game to toggle the #GAME channel off if you find it too distracting.

The in-game #GAME channel may occasionally be temporarily disabled, in cases such as major events (to keep people focused on the event itself) or if the channel gets too noisy or off-track.

Feedback and further refinement suggestions are always welcome.
