Store Item: Server Wide Messages

Players could get "You hear someone shouting Hitler did nothing wrong in the distance"

I have actually had this precise idea myself. Not sure if it's a good idea, but I am tempted to try it out. Arguably there is some intersection of price and demand where it's a relatively harmless addition. If the game can be financed through complete nonsense... why not?

I would allow subscription players to opt out of this if you did implement this. Being forced to watch an ad when you pay for a service rarely goes down well.

Bloated cash shop game? No thanks.

Global chat please.

@jorb: I've played more than a few Korean, Japanese, and Russian games that have included a megaphone at something like $.50 or a buck each, maybe buy a pack of 50 and get for half price... I don't recall. Mostly, it was just a highlighted line in chat you know the whole server saw and can read... assuming they can read the language the message was sent in. Mostly it was used for trading, silly announcements, and sometimes server events someone was organizing. They certainly weren't that intrusive.

But if there's no "global" chat, this seems... out of place. Just don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against them as long as they aren't annoying pop up windows. It's just not something I'd encourage a dev to implement into a game. Just give us a trade or global chat that people can use to make announcements. (Just not sure how you would want to deal with customer complaints of other's being abusive from characters nobody has a way of tracking down and "silencing.")

Could add something like crystall balls that you should construct, they would give you ability to message with other people who have balls.

if your after a quick injection of cash you could create a server wide chat channel that shows account names, but in order to have it you have to upgrade your account since its not exactly required but a nice qol feature hell maybe add with it the ability for it to allow you to kin friends accounts so you wont lose friends when you die again.
