Many servers have a few dedicated global channels that are designed for all types of players and serve primarily as a Team / TF forming venue.I believe these channels are essential to the current state of City and can be particularly helpful on servers with a smaller population. Over the years, I've found that these channels to have a great and positive effect on the game for obvious reasons.
In the past week alone, I found 3 persons broadcasting for teams and on the server I was on, not knowing that it's not the best way to get a team at that particular time /day. After pointing them to relevant channels, I found that 2 were long time vets,a 6 monther and another here for over a year and they never knew about the channels and the one prior didn't even visit the forums. And no they're were not wacky wrt their speech, all very civil and grateful for the direction.
My Suggestion is that along with all the other channels that we automatically get assigned on making an alt, each player on joining City, gets at least 1 Tab assigned to and automatic entry into, an identified Global Channel for that server.The main 1 should be picked on the basis of LFT use. Along with 'help' on how to opt out, of course. There are current lists of LFT type global channels on the forums, so identifying the relevant ones shouldn't be hard and a final pass by Mods to confirm activity could be done.
Also, find a way to add in information about global channels to the tutorial.
