I tried making a zone, in order that the whole world would be one zone. I
was hoping, badly, that it would enable people to chat no matter how far
they are from each other.

It did not work. Although it is a huge 'zone' you still go out of range as
usual if you go too far.

Why is it so hard for them to give us 'global type chat'....for typing not
voice....

For so many years we have been hoping this option would be available to us
world owners, as it should rightfully be. Why should I have to write
telegrams or use a bot in order to talk to my partner, because she may be a
little bit too far north...ON OUR WORLD!...

People come in together, and due to tricks, traps etc, they do tend to get
separated, why should they not be able to still talk, if, as an owner, I
could allow global typing......its only a p-40 and half is out of range from
gz, that is not cool.

Please give us the option for distance chat as world owners....10m, 20m, 30,
etc....and GLOBAL....

PLEASE!

Ummm LOL.... there is no technical reason why a check box couldn't be added
to AW World Features to allow for global chat. Now, in a world like Alpha,
that would be a huge problem, but in a world with 10 users max, say a P-40
like sweets has, I can't see any reason why not to allow it.

I am talking privately owned worlds as an option.

Tourists do not have Telegrams

I should not HAVE to use a bot or telegrams on my own land...p-40...or have
to keep 'visitors' in the chat/whisper box by following them around to keep
in range. Nor should they have to keep within such short range of each other
when visiting a 'world' in order to explore and talk.

Not like we all have a zillion visitors running around a p-40 or p50....or
even p100 for that matter. They get too far apart and they cannot chat, they
cannot chat is like an empty world....no chat no people.

Would be nice if anyone entering at gz and says hi, will maybe get a
response from someone way on the other side of the world,,,,,chat begins,
exploration starts, discoveries are made....

Instead they come in....see 4 people on world list, cannot find
anyone....and leave....and say...."damn AW is boring"

Logic says....Why the ** not?

[View Quote] I like your points sweets and I agree that there should be a setting to
enable global chat without the use of some extra features.

Now I know some people may wish to talk in private so maybe a privacy option
could be added to override global chat or have a switch to take you off
global in any desired world.

Privacy, that is what whispers and teleys are for....global whispering would
be easier too as a matter of fact LOL....and there is ability to restrict
chat to certain zones already, like inside a house for example....just not
BIG zones, meaning the whole world......

Lost my partner just after I wrote that LOL as we were trying the new
movers....which just kind of proved my own point heh.....It has pissed us
off for years and we sure were hoping that the 'global' feature would
somehow cover this distance limit in regular chat.

This sounds like the perfect opportunity to create and test a global
chat server plug-in module.

We run a bot. One downside to using a bot is that if an abbusive user
enters, people can not mute console messages for that specific user
like you can whisper or world chat.

Unless you use Hermes, see bots newsgroup. It allows muting as well as
other great things
