Server-wide "Broadcast" Channel

Since most people play on the same one or two servers on average, and global channels are such that you have to "search for" them on message boards, etc to know that they exist....

Let's create a new channel that is server wide that's simply called Server, a channel that's automatically added just like Local and Broadcast, but is server wide. Because then we'd have:

• A Local "nearby" channel,
• A Broadcast "zone" channel, and
• A Server channel

What do you think? I think it would be easier for forming teams on a server and allow an alternative method other than using the search feature and bugging everyone and their mother individually.

And if people are upset by the "noise" they can turn that channel off or move it to another tab, just like how I take Broadcast off of my bottom tab whenever I make a new character.

Eek, no getting rid of current Local, please. I like having a way to communicate with people close to me without being teamed.

I wouldn't mind seeing the current Architect channel retooled, though. It's basically what you're asking for, and I don't know that it really gets for its intended purpose.

We'll always have Paragon.

A great idea, but but I'd prefer zonal Broadcasting to remain for several reasons. Options for both zone broadcasting and server broadcasting would deffo get my thumbs up, though.

Stuff

Yeah, I'd be fine with scratching my original idea and just creating a new server wide channel called "Server". I'll modify my OP. There, original post editted. It is a better idea anyways.

While I'm fond of the idea of "Server channels," where things like (say) servername TF or servername Badges could go (and not affect *global* channels,) a "Server broadcast" would quickly be pulled off my tabs, thrown to the ground and stomped on, doused with kerosene, lit on fire, the remaining bits attacked with a flamethrower, the ashes gathered and set up to burn with magnesium, and anything left scattered to the four winds.

I think that's from them changing it from /h to /hc. But I see people asking for stuff on it sometimes.

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

I'm strictly on the fence about such a channel, but if it did, as I fear it would, become the new avenue for a typical AP type spam, it would be removed from my tabs which would of course if enough folks did this, defeat the whole object.

I always found it incredibly odd that we have several server-wide channels, and all of them are specifically specific. We have Arena (anyone remember that one?), Help and Architect, only each comes with attached baggage. Personally, I would very much like to see a channel just called "Server" added to that list.

So it could become a cesspool of nonsense. So? You can always remove it from your tabs. Or you can do what I do, and stuff it in a uni-tab with everything else just so you know if anything's going on, then shunt it off to its own tab you can check if you want to. It's what I did with Help an Architect, though I removed Arena altogether because of all the trash talk.
