Default Chat Channel

The "ch g" and switch channels sign is so far back, I doubt anyone actually reads it. Its covered by all the economy and miscellaneous signs.

One more problem, all the warps from spawn take you to a protected area, a deserted town with no one there. I am pretty sure players want to meet others and socialize, how about just plopping them all in a untouched biome somewhere far off and switching the location once in awhile.

If i need to say it .....
i didnt read 1 sign at spawn except the first 3 "lol"
My first think of this server was : 'SUCKS" but i joined and a nice person called dragonriko gave me stuff and gave me a nice home .
i decided to stay on the server.
After that i met a lot of nice people and i knew that this server was a great server! with good staff , not that much plugins .
I became trusted and met dragonriko after that all , that was 1 of the most funniest moment of this server :D
what i try to say ....
Stay on the server .meet people and have fun!!!

This is exactly what kept me playing. I don’t remember the guy’s name, but he helped me out and I started I small town, right next to his home. I still visit that town every once in a while, though it’s completely abandoned. It’s pretty well preserved.

The thing is, so few of the players that join get this experience. Maybe, bringing back the Xeadin comment,

I have no clue if what imp about to say is possible, but it’s worth a shot.

We could have a new channel that is kinda like the staff channel set as the default. (this is hard to put into words, so try your best to follow along) People would volunteer (ima call them the V) (or maybe get a small payment out of it) and whenever someone spawns in the world for the first time, that V would be able to see what they are saying, no matter where they are. The best real world (or as real as it gets for Minecraft) example I can think of is /helpop with the command already typed in for that player. The V would then connect to that channel, or simply stay in global and help that person wherever the V is.  The noob could get advice, answer questions, and anything that the person asks, so long as they are polite. AND (I like this part, u probably will too Xeadin) If the V doesn’t think that the player is trustworthy, he can choose to not talk to him or give him advice. I’m going to do a little example; this might help you get a better vision:
( channel {S] means Spawn channel ./ch s {as long as thats not staff channel command}(i cant do [ S ] Becuase it does this xD))
Freedom10 joined the game.
{S] <freedom10> Is this a no griefing server?
(the V would see that post and could choose to answer, and there is 4 ways to do that: /msg freedom10, global, Spawn channel, or warp to spawn and go local)
{S] <mopar23> Yes griefing is not allowed here
{S] <freedom10> is there PvP?
{S] <mopar23> there is an arena on the way but so far, no.
{S] <freedom10> Why are you the only one answering me?
{S] <mopar23> Its a special channel only a few people hear you.
{S] <freedom10> give me the !*@#ing command for the main channel
{S] <mopar23> I have the right to not tell you the main channel command because I feel u will do no good for the server.
Freedom10 left the game.
[G] <mopar23> ahh i love people like freedom10 :D

Meanwhile, I can go back to global and chat with others, and global posts will be in-between our posts. Again, I have no clue if something like this is possible, but it’s worth a shot suggesting it because it may be possible. If it’s not possible, then I have just wasted 20 minutes of my life.

As you can see, I am thinking of many new suggestions for this thread. I think that this is as good as its gunna get. having a channel like this would almost certainly increase the number of good players, decrease the number of bad players, and make Opticraft that much better.

Thank you for reading this long a** post, and please comment/question everything on your mind :D

I like the idea of being able to hear all chats, maybe implement it so mods+ can hear all local chat if they choose? Cuz I'd love being able to help people at spawn and such

i think trusteds should be able to help in some way too, without spending time at the spawn. And i think mods should have the ablillity to see local. I wonder how many people get away with spamming in local when there are no ops on.
