Announcing "Defiant Events" global channel

I've created a global chat channel for the organisation of Task Forces, Trials, Raids etc. Global channels can have a *lot* of members, so this should be very useful - it certainly was on the US servers when I was a member of similar channels there.

If you'd like to join, send a join request to me (@Estarriol) or attempt to join channel "Defiant Events".

Hope to see you there soon.

That would be /chanjoin "Defiant Events" then?

I think it's /chan_join "Defiant Events"

Thanks for reminding me. I appreciate few players are familiar with the custom channels functionality yet.

For those who have not used Global Channels before - I tried to find a quick guide but failed miserably.

Basically these channels are extra player-created chat channels that can be seen, and usually spoken to, by any player who is a member.

You are a member as a player, not a character, and thus can see the channel no matter which character you are logged in as.

However, you *do* need to enable viewing the channel on each of your characters - for some reason, it looks like it does this automatically on some characters and not on others.

To enable viewing it, in say the bottom chat window, right-click on the the tab itself (by default, called "chat") and select "Edit Tab". Then add the Defiant Events channel to the list on the left, and hit OK. The chat on the channel will then appear in your bottom chat window (in this example).

To speak to the channel, select it from the dropdown that appears when you click on your current speaking channel in the very bottom left. You can also use /send <channel> <message> if you really want to.

There are many ways to subscribe to the channel, /chan_join as already discussed, being invited by an operator (e.g. send me a /tell), or through the "Edit Tab" window where there is a "join channel" option.

You can see who is currently online in the channel by selecting it in the dropdown that appears in the top of the Friends window.

Any questions, let me know or post them here.

Look harder

Masterminds Global Channel Guide

Simply replace all the bits that say "Masterminds" for "Defiant Events". Sounds a good idea
