Are Guilds/Guild Chat still cross-game?

I have vague memories of being logged in to Champions Online and Star Trek Online and being able to chat with my guildies in Neverwinter.

Is that still a thing, and will it work on Consoles when we get Star Trek Online?

I'd like to try and make one Guild for both games if I can convince some of my Clanmates to move over here from ESO.

    Chat channels will not cross between PC and Xbox and PS4 or any combination of those 3

    Cross chat works with custom channels, I believe you can also see guild chat if you have membership for CO (not sure about STO). Xbox does not currently have custom channels. I don't believe that PS4 will have them at launch either. Which is really sad, cause I like having custom channels on PC, and I know some Xbox players would love to have it their. The chat system on Xbox needs a lot of work. I'm hoping PS4's chat is better.

    Not concerned with Cross-Platform, only Cross-Game.

    I.e. Star Trek Online and Neverwinter, both on PS4.

    As long as both are friends and/or you have custom channels created for just such a purpose, then you should be able to communicate with other players across all Cryptic games on the same platform, as they share a common chat server.

    Custom global channels work across STO, CO and NW - no sub or lifer in CO or STO required. That's only required to connect to chat using an external XMPP chat client like Pidgin.

    Guild chat does NOT cross games, only custom global channels.

    Since Xbox doesn't have custom chat channels I don't think PS4 will either so this is unlikely to work. However, once (if ever) PS4 gets custom chat channels then perhaps the cross game channel will work
