A nice addition to it might be that you don't actually create a hearth fire when spawning and that "Charter stone" is your hearth fire until you build your own, would definitely eliminate some of the clutter that appears with such areas. The object would be for spawning only of course, no teleportation through it at all unless you want to re-implement the baby blue eyes effect.
You didn't create a hearth fire when spawning at a Charter Stone previously, for the record. In fact, I believe at one point that if you lacked a hearth fire, you'd appear at the charter stone you were registered to. I always hated that mechanic, and felt that charter stones shouldn't be something you could teleport to at all.

It was then, of course, impossible to build a hearth fire given that you started under a claim, so your concern was obviated by the existing previous mechanic.

Global chat could help in this way....give us a gobal chat with noob section, ignore list, etc...that works in the char creation too.
Make friends with the other crabs or try to escape the bucket.

Why not? You can always don't use it...but i guess could be very usefull for new players to not leave the game, helping them to understand they are not alone in the world, but there are many active players around...

There are things that already do that. I think they're called IRC's and forums?

It's not the same thing...i have seen many noobs joining the game and leaving cause they think to be alone in the world and don't know what to do....global chat is an easy and immediate way to approach the game and other people...

Global chat sounds like a bad idea. I think there once was one as a custom client feature.

I don't understand why? I think could be a great feature for the game, helping in socializing and having more fun in general, most of all for new players...
Perhaps you are scaried about shit spammers and such....for sure we need a proper system with ignore list options and such thing, moreover if you don't want to see it you can always switch to regular area chat or system or your village, friends etc...you should not be obliged to see it...

These things already exist on the forums. I don't see how integrating a global chat into the game could hurt anything.
