(This idea wouldn't fit into the features/ideas forum, as it is about a General chat channel so therefore it should go in General Discussion. Mods, please do not move this topic)
I was deeply pondering the state of E.v.E. last night, glass of Pinot Noir in one hand and Descartes in the other, and I found myself wondering why E.v.E. lacks a single general, global chat channel like many other MMOs have. These channels are often a great generative source of creative thought & cooperation, and I think E.v.E. Online could benefit from such a meeting place. |

The reason EvE lacks a global chat you autolog in (because there's plenty of global chats, just very few you autolog in) can be provided by examples:
-Jita Local, (most tradehubs really, but Amarr, Dodixie, Hek & Rens are tame compared to Jita) -Rookie help chat (autologin when you're new, but auto-logs you out on 30 days, unless they removed that)
Gets so spammy & chatty you hardly can keep track in there, and those only contain a minority of people online...
Have to remember, Eve is a single universe, meaning that at any one time, tens of thousands are online, cramming them all in a single channel would just make it redundant & useless. Most other MMO's don't suffer this, because on their servers at most few hundred (maybe a thousand if they're really crowed) are online at any time and so can offer global chats
If you want a global chat wwhere anyone can join in, no matter where he resides, create a player channel, or join one of the myriad available channels in the channel list. Sansha's Nation intensifies attacks!-á -á-áAmarr Militia Auction is a success! |

They could just not allow bots, spammers, trolls, knuckleheads, or rascals into the General Chat Channel; problem solved. |

how does one define "bots, spammers, trolls, knuckleheads, or rascals"
I think we'd end up with 90% of players banned from this "general chat" You can trust me, I have a monocole |

Constellation chatroom would be OK.
Global? Well, the others have already covered why that's a bad idea. |

Players can create their own channels which are "universal" or "global".
What we don't need is CCP creating what would amount to as nothing more than a global SPAM channel.... because that's what it would turn into faster than you could refill your wine glass.

First off EVE is not an acronym, we only spell it in all caps cause the devs did.
And secondly yes, this belongs in features and ideas because it as feature or idea, doesn't matter what it's about, it's still a feature or idea. The Drake is a Lie |

Pilot Hurt, your idea of a global channel is met with amusing results. I have a number of player made channels and why should or need a global channel?
Other mmos sure have such but Eve in uniquely different in terms of communications goes, I think you better find some other drink to go along with your idea to the trash can, seeya. |

There was a time a few months back when CCP mass 30-day banned the vast majority of chatbots in Jita local. Suddenly it become a half decent place to talk in. People had conversations.
Then 30 days later it became unusable again and remains so to this day. my teapot is ready |
