Where there are Wills, There are Ways
During lone hunts in Oren Wastelands on the Lands of Aden server, one may notice how very quiet the world may seem. In fact, silence prevails everywhere on LoA when hunting alone, away from town centers. The lack of global means that a remnant of chatter and shouts heard from your last trip to town may be carried, in your chat window, for several minutes to an hour, ever unchanging until your next encounter with civilization.

The silence may be broken by an occational message from NCI asking us to leave our arguments in game as we do our weapons and armor. Or warning us that NCI will never ask for our passwords. Or sagely offering that logging in does not mean tuning out the real world. But any form of global player chatter, up until today, did not exist on LoA.

What changed today?
Someone watching global, realized that there IS a small amount of actual player contribution to the window ... Bloodpledge war announcements. Wheels turned, sparks flew, and suddenly the LoA chat window was filled with players announcing trade over global. Will NCI call this abuse and silence the innovators? Likely. But this reported thinks it amazing what people will come up with when there is a need.

*The seller names in these screenshots are bogus, to protect the guilty. ;)

i used to hate it when ppl made fake wars on dep >< but in a world without global, a world which i do not exist in, i suppose people would become starved for seeing some kind of communication other than whisper, pledge, and local/yell. who knows, maybe NC will get the hint this time that players really do want the option to global chat.

I think they should leave the global chat off on LoA, it gives the server something a little different.

no 45+ are the ones most likely to get bored lvling, so they sit around and chat...I know from experience but I chose not to clutter global like others do.
I think that fake siege thing was ingenius. Kudos to whoever thought it up.

This was funny for about the first time. But then these loosers started SPAMING thier god damn wars. Wtf!
"it was buety or how ever u spell her name selling decay potion spell and she had an offer days before she did this crap. so lame to have that spamed so much"
Maybe she should of tried using the lineage message boards. I know a few posters there that want decay. But no. The stuborn fool spamed a few times in town and decided to make her own global. Thats the problem with no global. People refuse to accept it, so they find ways around it. Instead of using the message boards (in game and out) and taking the time to advertise in game.

I thought it was pretty cool when I saw it. Even when they started to spam theres no other chat for you to read anywayz so o well. But in a few day *Update* the war systme has been removed from the game, and any attempt to sell things during sieges will result in bann >.<

I assume there is more ppl yelling in giran
like 3 times more than u would see on dep or ken
quite annoying but u got to live with it
because I never check boards or offical boards
a pain in the ass to check
then again
I never turn on global either
just better to join a huge pledge and buy/sell there like it is global hehe
surprised they didn't make a huge pledge for buying/selling only

actually oren seems to be the yelling/trading hub. giran is surprisingly bare in LoA. i would love to see NCI introduce a "pay for post" global system. that would prevent much of the spam, and allow us to get the word out for buy/sells as well. and, we could turn it off if not buying or selling.

I thought of this a few days after LoA went live, and mentioned it in a few places, but it didn't seem to catch on, so here goes again - Set up a pledge, have people in strategic locations (ie towns, maybe oasis etc). Anyone can pay this pledge a little money to shout a message in every city. There would be a danger of scamming (price wouldn't be too high so scamming wouldn't be worth it, but wouldn't be so low it got bombarded) but if a pledge showed itself to be trustworthy they could set this up well. Even wandering members of that pledge could shout around.

As a kind of corollary, you could always ask a member of any pledge to ask his pledgies to do the same, for a fee. Use the pledge chat!
