What's on the tin.
God, I was on a buncha channels for that neverwinter beta, and I hate this. Trade is gonna be a mess. WTB identify scrolls so I can identify my ship I got from the takofanes lockbox.
It's getting absurd. Does any other pwe product share a chat server? Does our zone match sto's?
At least let us flag a channel as open to all, so I know to not add that one. I'm damn near removing all of my channels over this. I'm in a super hero RPG, and when someone says "I'm teaming with a Rogue" I hear clone.

Alas. There is a lot of animus towards NWO.
Also, some people are jerks.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
While it has its fair share of inconveniences, it is also truth that some advantages derives from having them. For instance, they can be really convenient for multigame guilds. People playing more than one game more chances of revenue.
Don't see no change coming.
Like everything else that is "working right".
They probably give new tag to be added before rest. So it's [Date/Time][Game][Channel]Name@Global name:Herro!

It'd be nice to have the ability to flag a channel as game-specific, but that's unlikely. In the meantime, if you have a private channel that's game-specific, maybe append the name.
So, CO-SilverKings, NW-SilverKings, STO-SilverKings.

No no no WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN :O
Some of us need these channels to keep control of of our Three games wide SG. If your getting confused color your channels :I

Although I am opposed to using the /ignore chatban system to grief others, it does not seem inappropriate to ignore people posting non CO related messages in a channel created by CO players for CO related use.
'Caine, miss you bud. Fly high.
Hell, I'd be happy with a toggle in the options to ignore chat in other games. I turned off most of my channels yesterday as a result of this. Channels like CoX? Yeah, fine, that's a shared interest channel that I can easily just ignore which game they're talking about. I don't really have any "ONLY CO GUISE!" rules set on talkytalk, either, because it's an open social channel, so where you're at when you're bsing doesn't matter. But stuff like Trade and other specific utility channels?
I'm half tempted to nip it in the bud and make "Champions Trade" or something, because while I find the cross-game chatter annoying? I think the trade thing is just gonna get downright messy. I already have a hard enough time telling vehicle parts and sto gear apart, and I can't be alone in this. I had hope at first that players would sort this out themselves, but STO still shares trade with CO, years after launch. I don't have a lot of hope for the community sorting it out themselves, barring the CORP people, who I gather have STORP (or whatever) as well and are generally pretty on point about this stuff.
I mean no offense, but I can't see as if stuff like managing multi-game guilds is really a problem the average player is gonna face. However, I know for a fact that at least one major guild in game is currently splitting time between CO and GW2, and they somehow manage to sort it out. In fact, my primary SG is looking to split time between NWO and CO, and I still think splitting the servers is a great idea. I can say for certain that being confused over what people are trying to sell in which game, and which game the scammer is being called out from? This might pose a problem, and lead to serious issues.
'course, I'm possibly partially bitter because they were talking about an event on CORP last night, and I didn't go because I couldn't figure out which game they were talking about. That was the beginning of my "screw merged chat servers" thought process.
I simply can't see a reason why we've got a setup like this. Like I said, I've never seen anything like it anywhere else.

That, or create 'Trade_Neverwinter' and such...

If it is the *CO* rp channel ask the people to demonstrate some comm discipline and keep it to CO only.
Maybe the issue is the people in the channel, not the chat server itself. Just a thought...

It's working as intended!
This and what was mentioned earlier about comm discipline. Strictly CO channels should stay strictly CO. Other general type channels, not so much. Hopefully it won't be as big of an issue once NW finally launches.

We all like the feature, we just hate the sloppy implementation.

Welcome to Cryptic, you must be new here
But sloppy implementation is what Cryptic does best. Remember?

100% this. The ability to chat with friends and SG mates cross-game without the need for third party software is invaluable.

I wish I was new. This game is a lot more fun when everything is new, and it makes it easy to overlook all the bad stuff. Once you've been around for a while, you get way too comfortable whipping out the phrase "sloppy implementation"... I've seen porn where they inserted something new into something old in a less sloppy way! waka waka!

Poor taste, even for you, 4-chan.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
If Smoochan is who I think they are then we've met elsewhere on the Internets, that's fortunately really the least of the horrors that the Smoo can unleash.
