Am I doing or seeing something wrong but it seems this game has not general chat channel? What I mean is, a general/global chat channel, what you can see whichever zone you are at. Kinda makes the whole gaming time a bit more social, or make you feel as part of a bigger community.
 
Atm, the zone chat is the best I could get and it seems WS ppl are not very chatty :)
 
So, is there a general chat? A mod for that? Anything?
 
Thank you, you all-mighty people with knowledge!

			Just my little feedback. You are correct that in-game the best channel to use is Zone. Other than joining other user created channels there are not many other (advice, trade, say). For guild advertising some people also use the forum and which ever megaserver they are on. I think there might be some add-ons that make life more interactive but have to confess never played with them.

Hello Alona,
 
WildStar doesn't have any chat channel with a Global reach. As EllegonMcleod mentioned, the best you will get are region-wide channels. Zone/Trade/Advice all have a Region-wide reach.
 
We used to have Global Channels a long time ago (during Beta, including one dedicated to Guild Recruitment), but we quickly realized that it was completely messy as soon as the server population was rising. While Global Channels worked fine in a very low populated and closed environment such as our firsts betas, it did not when we got closer to release and after release. The more Guilds advertised in there, the more "spammy" it became making it impossible to follow. 
 
So it's not really a technology issue (WildStar can have channels with a global reach), but it's more a design decision.

			Warhound has global chat - pergolfm. To join I think you just type "/chjoin Pergolfm"

			Forgot to mention that channels created by players aren't bound by these limitations :) Just like Guild or Circle channels.

			I chat a lot. I got used to it on Fallen Earth where people are super chatty. Also on Swtor its very chatty esp on the fleets and housing areas. I think wildstar appears less chatty be cuz people r so concentrated on the mission.. sometimes the response is quite delayed or I might b so busy I couldn't chat at all but I usually read all the chat.

			It would be nice to see the city General/Zone chat extended into the housing region. Those are both generally "relax, lfg, etc" areas.

			Entity created the EntityLFM chat channel on the Dominion side. It spreads across the entire server, so it basically makes finding people for events pretty easy. You could create a General chat channel and then advertise it so people can join and the numbers grow. That's how EntityLFM started.
