Multi-world Chat

[WakiMikoArck]

So first off I'd like to apologize if this is in the wrong forum. It's more of a server suggestion/comment than one for the forum. I was doubtful if it should go in the Build forum or not though. Also, I really hate to sound as if I'm whining, as this is the only (minor) gripe I have with the new (and absolutely amazing) server setup. Largely, this is what I'm getting at with this paragraph: The server chat box seems way too full, with all 4 worlds interconnected via chat.

Now I could be horribly wrong here. People may just be really chatty today with the new changes. But it still seems as if topics come up and then are off the chat box within seconds. And MC's already poor chat function doesn't seem to help much with this. I don't know the limitations of Herochat or any of that, but (and if others feel the same way I do), would it be possible to have the option for users to turn off chat for the worlds they're not in? Or possibly where the only voices that would come through from other worlds would be Moderators & Admins?
Thanks for reading.

Waki, we've noticed the same thing. I'm not sure if there is a good solution for it, but you have brought up some good suggestions. We'll definitely be looking at what might be available in order to improve the chat though.

Awesome, thanks. TBH with how awesome the current server setup is, I can probably get over it. Though I imagine things will get pretty cluttered with deathshouts once everyone starts getting stabby on the PvP server.

Also, this smiley is only here because I like it

I kinda like how busy chat is, its much nicer than everyone sitting in silence.
We will look into it though, as it could get much worse if the server gets more popular.
For now, I HIGHLY recommend this mod (Improved chat).

Aside from many awesome features it allows you to scroll up in chat. Notch really needs to buy this guy out!

cj told me about improved chat and its amazing, I can scroll up the chatlogs all the way up to the opening server message. that way I won't miss anything if i step out for a couple minutes.

I miss the dead chat, it put more attention on me and my opinions.
