I once played an mmo game with a universal chat system.it allows everybody to see someones chat or message.its great for AL since you cant pm somebody when they are offline.your friends,guildmates, etc can then pass the msg to you once youre online.another thing is, its great for auctioning stuff (i know we have the AH and its a way for sts to earn money)but theres a lot of sellers in different servers spamming kraag,elsewhere with their stuff and not everyone can see it and have the equal chance of possibly purchasing it.

you can charge gold for every message (like AH) to avoid spamming.

Yeah the thing you didn't mention is that it pops up on your screen (like when someone invites you, you get huge writing on screen) - it is most likely not in chatbox.

I see you have to charge gold but millions play AL and it's gonna be pretty spammed up by sellers.

Not hating just constructive criticism.

you will be able to read it in chatbox like guildchat but in different color.unlike private msg that pops in front.

charging gold and putting a max of post per minute/hour would help limit spam i think.

if it work on other platforms it might work also for AL.

You'll have to have fast eyes to be able to read all the messages ..

And yeah, people could spam their sales and it could become really annoying :(


However, it could be a fun idea to meet new players :)

that too..

but limiting the amount to maybe 2 post an hour wouldnt result to spamming.i dont really know.

but theres no harm if they try,right?
