nation chat

add to the chat options guild/normal/party/etc the nation option, this will aloud people to contact everyone in their nation when ever they whant, making the find of party as well as trade or the simple need of an reply in case they have a question much easier.

i dont think this is a good idea. we already have an option to message the whole nation, which is the merchant guy and u pay him 15k to do it. the reason it is like this is to stop people just spamming the nation chat and annoying the hell outa everybody.

just putting a nation chat tab in the normal chat window WILL result in continouse spamming

maybe it should be a bonus thing u get from being merchant?

there are ways to deal with spams:
a timer that wont aloud the use of the chat more than "x" times every "x" seconds.
gm
an icon just like the rest of the chats to disable it in case one dosent whant to see that chat.

the idea was to make comunication between people easier if they make it only for merchant then we are reducing it to only a few, dr is a game that is heavily based on team play and considering the amount of players online we need to increase the communication between them as much as possible.

No bad idea.

+1. It's hard enough finding parties as it is since the DR community is so small. Yes, I can use the nation notice but that's only for the nation's maps only. What if I want to go to VD and trying to find a party but most of the people 100+ who want to level are at db already? It would save the time to go look through all of WG. Also it would promote partying with one's own nation because it's easy to make a full party with your own nation if people actually know you're going to level at a certain place. With more and more people getting 9x+, the low level training grounds are getting more and more empty. This would be a great way to help those low levels find parties.

mmmm fair points, you've turned me. as main opposition to this was spam, and you right in saying there are other ways to deal with this. it would definately make lvling easier for the lower lvls. and people who are new to community and dont have existing friends to help.

Well, with the buttons to the left of the chat box, you can turn off certain chats. So if someone spams, just turn off the chat or they can put in some kind of spam filter and report system.

1 report - warning
2 reports - disable nation chat for that char 7 days
3 reports - 3 day ban

or something like that. Also make a filter so you can't use nation chat until you're level 31+ (maybe even 41+). So people don't jut go and make a ton of random noobs to spam nation chat. It's easy to get 31 without needing a party so it won't defeat the purpose of using the nation chat to find parties.
