Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I've no doubt it's been mentioned before but here it is again. With the advent of xanadu, increased server populations, I think we need a (global) trade channel.uservoice page; http://wurmonline.uservoice.com/forums/12046-wurmonline/suggestions/6053770-trade-chat-channel Edited June 14, 2014 by Steveleeb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2014 I think this would be a very good idea! +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Yes. Merchants could monitor that channel and instantly respond if someone was looking for X product. It would not get buried and missed in general chat, and general chat would no longer get spammed wiith constant trade advertisements. Buyers happy, sellers happy, non-commercial players happy. PLEASE ALSO make it easier for use to select and "save" whcih tabs open automatically with the game, or are automatically disabled unless manually toggled on. CAHelp & KChat work fine I think? But global chat won't stay off between relogs. Especially with increasing problems with performance and lag, I have noticed extra chat channels running makes everything worse especially with so many servers now participating.

Posted June 16, 2014 Yes please, but people shouldn't be able to post same sentence twice in less than a minute but after 5 min. To keep it fresh from spam! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 16, 2014 Yes please. However, I really don't see a lot of trade spam, so not sure if this needs to happen right away. I'd rather see custom chat channels first, where we can invite anyone remotely to join. Ideal for assembling hunt groups, making a small sub alliance chat group, just a few close friends that aren't in village or alliance, etc. ESPECIALLY useful for multiple alts that are deed holders, all wanting to chat to other villagers in a single tab/channel.

Posted June 16, 2014 Tab/Window splitting would be nice too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 Yes please, but people shouldn't be able to post same sentence twice in less than a minute but after 5 min. To keep it fresh from spam!Half hour cooldown at least, please. Very few new people would have tuned in in the 5min interval, hardly seems worthwhile posting that fast.Also, on the topic as a whole, this could only be a good thing. I could close Kchat and GL and not miss out on the trade posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 Custom chat channels can be made in the irc for hunting and such, but for trade I certainly +1 a global channel open in the initial startup. Someine asked me how that would help remove the spam from other chats, I replied that CA help does not get spam. They said, that is because people get warned/muted for it. Adopt the same policy, mute/warn/ban for trade spam in kchat and gl, that will encourage the use of a trade channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2014 -1 No-one will use it, every game that has one still has most if not all the trade in global You can create all the channels under the sun, but all MMO traders will use just one, the one with people in it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is why it is important to make spamming gl an actionable offence. If you do not want to see that person's trade spam, but still wish to talk to them, blocking is not a very good option. The best option is a trade chan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 19, 2014 I agree its a pain to sell or ask for anything like this without it being spammed up nearly as soon as you post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 19, 2014 I would very much like to see this feature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2014 I'm positive regarding this but also negative. Perhaps setting up a contract with local villages through this channel first?Would love to see a regular trading system that goes on from trade routes via boats only, or wagon carts arriving back and forth.
