That's the whole reason you already have Realm chat?
Public chat is essential just local chat, but expanded.

Nobody uses that chat. I've probably seen more messages in the public chat since its release a few days ago than the entirety of the private one's lifespan. The noobs use it to ask questions since it's right there. I don't bother oathing half of my characters to the realm since it accomplishes nothing and is a waste of effort.

Going outside of your realm's borders for something and losing access to the chat is incredibly annoying, especially if you're right on its border.

I agree, you should be able to speak to your realm if your hearth fire resides in it.

Well, my anecdotal evidence points quite the opposite direction.
Personally, I just don't particularly want 50 different unique chats cluttering up my box.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.
If there was a system of chat management similar to other MMOs that'd make it more tolerable. But we already have system, local, party, village, realm, realm P and an individual tab for each PM. I'd rather have the ability to consolidate specific chats into one tab, than a separate tab for each particular instance.

Honestly, a chat re-haul might be necessary at some point. It'd probably need a dedicated patch if they wanted to make something as flexible as the World of Warcraft chat. IE, customization colors, tabs and other such.

Not sure how to feel about that, tbt.

yea, its so dumb when you ask a question, then enter mine for like a minute to idk, refill the smelters, and then when you are back up you have no clue that you have missed all the answers

[Lyrroth]

so you tell me you can ask question but you cant warn about going into mines for a minute so you will be out of contact? smh
