Global Chat

I honestly didn't notice it wasn't there for several days XD

I miss when I was talking to people at midnight, it was fun

rip global chat'

yeah agreed I fell like we r making less friends on here because of its "disappearance"

I agree. All I hope is that without the Global Chat, we won't lose people.

if we lose people for lack of global then they werent here for the right reasons then, Im still holding conversations with people just through the mail instead.

Same, I understand that just joining a game for global is very wrong.
I do still talk to people with email too, I just hope they don't take that away too.

I dont see why they would, when its DMS its much easier to pin point the problem and deal with it individually and I doubt there are so many problem people that it would have to be shut down, just may end up having to ban a few if they get out of hand. You know? Cause without a source of communication the game would be too hard, plus there are quests for emails and forum posts.

That is true. Individual DMS are easier to monitor for harassment than public chat, allowing developers to see exactly who is breaking the rules without punishing the entire community. Also, Communication is a core mechanic of multiplayer. Without it, the game feels empty, antisocial, and teamwork becomes almost impossible.

Honestly, I think removing chat is the wrong way to go. If there’s a problem with harassment, it’s much better to use the moderation tools we have to ban the few individuals who take it too far, instead of punishing the whole community. Besides, it’s a multiplayer game, socializing and coordinating is part of the fun. Removing it makes the game feel empty, not safer. Also, if the game has quests based on in-game email and forums, cutting off communication makes absolutely no sense.

in some situations, however with the fact this this game is run by 2 people just trying to create a fun game and decent place if the amount of people taking advantage outweighs the benefit, do what's easiest to nullify the problem before you just start kicking people out. I think they did the right thing for their game.

Yeah, I think right and wrong.

To each their own.

true

I agree I still do that to but again the mail system can be weird because of you can't immediately see if your friend responded unless you have g-mail open

True, but atleast it's an option. I have it enabled on my phone so while I'm out and about I keep track of findly and my dms. Not a big deal.

Honestly my schedule is so crazy if you're bored in the middle of the night and want to chat, DM me and if I'm around I'll chat. Not as instant as global but I don't mind friends.

Same, I have it enabled on my phone. If you guys are willing to talk to me too. Feel free too.

yeah true my Gmail is not working idk why so I'm just have to do it the old fashion way xd

Alright, Global Chat is back. I had way too many people reach out about be removing it and decided it's worth the effort to bring it back.

One major improvement that should keep it from being a pain is I now have the ability to add Moderators. So, we will have Mods in the Global Chat who can delete messages and timeout users.

You'll have a message in your inbox about it soon 😄
