Is there an active server-wide chat channel?

[Talcyndl]

See topic. :)

Having a global chat channel is one of the few things I miss from my brief time playing Lotro.

So...anyone?

[Phidius]

I'm sure there's quite a few - I participate in one called "BYOH".

There's a password on it to keep out the riff-raff though :D

PM sent ;)

Several private channels exist for cross-guild collaboration in raids, TR's, epics, etc.

Asking around in epic raids and 6-man instances would probably be your best bet.

To my knowledge there is no "generic server-wide" channel besides general.

[rest]

I'm pretty generic, and participate in several chat channels.

Oh great - now we'll never keep the riff-raff out.

Do you know where he's been??!?!?!?

There are many channels in play. There is nothing to stop you from creating a 'global chat channel' yourself, but I know there would be a lot of people who simply wouldn't join (the same people who turn off general chat).

Many chat channels are in operation for specific reasons though, primarily to organize between 'friendly' guilds or groups of people. Some of these are very exclusive, some less so.

Simply viewing the horrible spam of chat in market and harbor general, I can't help but think it'd be a 'first thing I turn off on a new toon' kind of thing.

He plays DDO all day, aside from the stray cheeto I think we are safe. :D

Well so much for me joining. What was it that Groucho Marx said? :p

Its called abbot1

/joinchannel abbot1 kalashtar

[nolaureltree000]

the harbor general chat. its a wealth of help and information.

[moops]

Many people seem to use the Advice Channel as a general chat as well. . .

[k1ngp1n]

Its called abbot1

/joinchannel abbot1 kalashtar

You know, when I first joined Abbot1, I was informed that the information was to be never made public (and I had to get permission to bring in anyone else). And then it became public and swarmed with players from guilds who really didn't belong (no offense to them). So I left Abbot1.

oh snap. /popcorn

Great, I had to kill a guy to get this. Now it will be moved again and take another human sacrifice to get back into.

Then again, perhaps this is just karma for me actually using it to form abbots and not drama...

Lol...yes, yes it is.

Forming abbots in abbot channel is not allowed.

[LordPiglet]

thankfully i am the riff-raff :D

[jwdaniels]

How does one create a private chat channel? I tried looking for this myself, but couldn't find anything on it.

[k1ngp1n]

/joinchannel [name] [password] will create a room if it does not exist. The commands are one and the same.

[jwdaniels]

Thank you - that explains why I couldn't find a separate command to create a channel.

[asphodeli]

mental note to write down somewhere your channels and channel passwords BEFORE TRing! (unless they fixed it since sept 2010)

PMed. It happened a while ago.

Has not changed. I have them all saved in a notepad file.

LOL it already got moved months ago. Most of the people who were originally in it left once it became general knowledge.
