It's actually been raised twice since global chat existed. Originally it was only 5 made channels plus all the system channels. It was raised to 10 and then again to 15.
Can't see any reason against another increase if it's feasible so sure, why not?

I'm wondering Why you'd need more than that honestly? granted, I suppose not everybody uses the same chans for every toon, but still doesn't that clog up your chat window?
Because the more channels you are a member of the easier it is to find people team/socialize with.
And no it doesn't clog up your chat windows any more than the current number of ingame channels do, because we have the ability to edit our chat windows and get rid of the crap we don't want to look at. The only channel we can't avoid is the Admin channel.

Theres 16 servers now, so 15 doesn't even allow for 1 channel on each server.|

I know many people that play on 1 server and find 15 channels aren't enough.
There are channels for super groups, for the market, AE, roleplaying, anime, farming, speed task forces, itrials, all kinds of stuff game related and not.
They can clog up your chat window if you put them all in one tab, but you have the option of multiple tabs and sorting them.
I am all for more channels.

Eh, it's probably just me using the basic tabs that makes it feel that way then. I don't modify the UI quite as much as many seem to so I can see how doing things like what Aggs is showing would thin things out a bit. I didn't even consider the whole 16 server thing either, but then again I've never moved away from home either. I don't like using the mouse alot anymore due to the arthritis, so changing tabs gets annoying, but not as much as expanding/separate the chat windows to compensate.
Good evening. I know it's been asked before and I was wondering as to why the cap has not been increased for chat channels in the game. I know it's not the most pressing matter in the game, but how difficult would it be to raise the cap by 5 or 10? I hope that at some point it could be considered. I thank you for taking the time to read my post.
