greetings
I hope you dont mind me adding a few comments to this thread
there have been various thoughts on the main forum about our communication abilities, such as this one.
As you may know all homins carry a nanoseed, it links us to Atys and allows for the higher powers to resurrect us at their altars. Normally indestructible however in recent times the Tryker governor Stil Wyler was assassinated and his seed damaged by a Goo weapon (this was a RP event ingame of which there are many)
It is held that these seeds link all homins on Atys and enable us to communicate.
just an idea if you go with 2)
region channel should be if not in character then at least concerning Ryzom and not that other land - i have had many good conversations in character using it, but of course you cannot expect all to adhere to this. If people are talking about RL overly then simply asking them to stop, or calling the CSR can help. There are sadly a few people who belong on everyones ignore list and that makes our world a much nicer place.
Universe is a help channel rather than chat, and as such is 100% OOC.
I look forward to meeting some of you soon.
