Maybe you can enlighten me there too? Because they are an invitation to spammers and misuse. Our experience has shown that in the past years due to the broad audience a spammer can reach. These channels have a very specific purpose which should not be misused for a broader context. LFG's programmatic restriction is level based which can even be turned off on listener side if needed (leveling on alts). Spreading RvR info in these channels is not allowed. This is on purpose and not considered "looking for group". To have a more global chat to inform others you can join an alliance. Also these channels aren't just colors, you can disable each one separately as needed if it gets too spammy. It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience. Every bug gets fixed. Sooner or later.

Also these channels aren't just colors, you can disable each one separately as needed if it gets too spammy. I would think that if someone was too spammy players could use /ignore on them. If they used too many bad words they could put the default filter back on which they disabled. If someone violated the terms of service and use racial or other prevented language they could be reported. Then all this effort policing could be focused on programming. https://www.uthgard.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37632 Players can greatly contribute to a server if you let them. Uthgard, still the best server. Thanks, Devs.

Having factions active creates a whole new layer to the game that was missing! The conveniences are awesome as well, but WORKING FACTIONS how awesome is that! I have been following the forum post concerning the work involved to make factions work, I want to that everyone, game masters and players alike that made this a reality.

Why this effort? And how did you delegate the police work to alliances or guilds? I don't give a penny on what most of those guild-leaders have to say...reasonable people really got rare here..or I am getting old and am stuck with honesty and 'thank-you mate'-tells instead of ripping of your guildmates, so they pay for your temps Blue wrote:These channels have a very specific purpose which should not be misused for a broader context.[...] Ok, but for what reason?

Grimgarion Guardian Posts: 6 Joined: Jan 16, 2018 09:14	by Grimgarion » Jun 23, 2018 02:09 Great job! Factions are a welcome addition. I knew what was coming for the level 50 Epic. Have to get the Ellyll lord in PM. Can't really storm the gates as all my "help" is level 10ish right now plus, I wanted to see inside for once. Made sure to take a break killing near Surs at 49 to take out a bub worth of tegs. Got neutral. Can go right on in. Didn't know he had a woman with him in there. Guess they going through a rough patch as she did not assist. Ha! Powertap says he is lvl 62. I didn't pull him far enough at all. The Champions won't attack but they will stick to him and heal him once he starts taking damage. The sages stuck to the champions just hang out chill. I don't think he called for help though so your experience may vary. Side note: You can also slip in PM by way of Snowdonia without aggroing froglords or windchasers. Good times!

That said, do you (devs) plan on promoting the server more so that player base grows? Don't know how much you can or can't do, but it almost seems that since you have Mythic permission and rights to host, can't you also, say, promote through some gaming communities and other forums? Answer is likely no, but offering it through Steam for free through their player workshop? Looking forward to SI coming to this freeshard!

We have some ideas to do so in the near future. Stay tuned! Excellent! I know it will never be like the heady days of 10,000 per realm in RVR, but if it were even around 500 in RVR per realm + another 500 in PVE - that would be an achievable accomplishment that would satisfy many others like myself. Looking forward to the updates, SI, and all that!
