a way of talking to everyone, even if they are far away.

example...

megashout: hello!!!!! everyone playing this game can hear me!!





or, another window that acts something similer to msn messanger, or a chat room. this would make the community alot nicer, and increase good things tenfold!

Already in place and a summary and expansion of an earlier followup in a different thread.

'shout <message>
Everyone on the server should hear this. All players have the option to toggle this off though. They can still use shout, but won't see (hear?) what is being said on that channel. Refer to the home page (if one exists) for whatever server you are playing for possible rules (if any) on using the shout channel.

'chat <message>
Similar to shout. By default, one does not have access to the chat channel. Set your listen level to 10 ('listen 10) to use the channel ('chat <message>).

'tell <player_name> <message>
Private message to the player_name in question, only you two will see/hear the message.

'say <message>
Everyone within or on the nearby map will see/hear your message.

'gsay <message>
Group (or party) message - only those in the formation will see/hear the message. Check " 'help party " for more details.
