EQ2 Serverwide Chat Channels

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.everquest (More info?)

As some of you might know, I'm all about the chat. Pretty much, the
chatter is the fun thing about an MMORPG for me. If I wanted perfect
silence in which to play I would be playing some single player game rather
than dealing with some of the inherent shortfalls of the gameplay in a
MMORPG. Thus, when EQL introduced serverwide chat channels, I was pretty
much in heaven (another venue to send mistells to! Alright!) In EQII I've
been just wandering around and trying to learn the basic game mechanics,
but one thing that strikes is how quite it seems to be. I _need_ some
serverwide action! And I think that I've learned enough of the basic
gameplay down to start fiddling with my chat controls.

So, is there an "official" serverwide chat channel for EQII? It was
suggested on other thread by Graeme that we use eq.serverwide.age:age, and
if that works (he says it does!) then I think this is a pretty logical
channel to use. If there is another, more established channel, though, I'd
rather use that one. So, does anyone have any thoughts on this? I put the
only channel I've heard in in my Monster Sig, but I can easily change this
if I am corrected.

And has anyone figured out a way for EQII folk to join the EQL
serverwide.age:age chat channel? /crosses fingers! Tell me and that will
go in my sig as well.

Not sure, Annie, but I know that I spent some time in EQ2 tonight talking to
my friends in EQLive using the syntax : /tell eq.firiona.charname, so that
much clearly is working.

I have eq.serverwide.age:age on autojoin in EQ2, and I have seen one or
two other folks in there sometimes. I have been too lazy to look up
commands, but have not found a way to see who is in a chat channel yet.
Oddly, it seems that you need the "eq." to make the serverwide channel
name be accepted, but, I have yet to find a way to communicate with
anyone on EQ from EQ2.

Ah, so that's why it wouldn't let me join. I tried several times and
nothing happened. Joined Qeynos_rogues and Qeynos_auction and there seemed
to be limited chatter there. I'll try the other next time I'm on. Thanks
for the heads up.

You can send cross server tells easily enough, but I haven't yet found a way
to join an EQ channel. (actually I'm having problems getting the stupid
interface to join an EQ2 serverwide chat channel)

Really wish they had kept the chat commands from EQ1. They may have been a
bit clunky, but at least I knew them. (and the new ones aren't any less
clunky, just different.) I can't tell you how many times I've done /list and
gotten annoyed at seeing "Davian listens intently."

On Guk at least, Qeynos crafting is the only really active channel on the
"good" side. Traders is starting to get a bit of auctions, but no discussion.
The other public channels are all ghost towns.
