No thanks, plus if you really want to speak to someone you can either whisper to them if they are online using /tell (their name): or invite their town to your forum

Invite every town in the world to your forum or create an Ideas & Brainfarts thread.

Yuck. I'd reject that invitation. Perhaps a thread called "online dating" in such forum would be a better bait.

In world 2 we have a worldwide forum, every notable town in the world in one forum to get to know everyone, including the enemy. It worked out great :)

Main problem with many ingame chats is that some of the content becomes inappropriate. Unfortunately there's a few people that destroys these things for everybody else.

Yea how do you moderate that. You have to have 1 town that has to invite every town and be the 1 goto... unless you just let it go stir crazy.

Also to note the developers were working on county chat per a blog I read but they didnt know who they would make the generals of the county except maybe the large fort owners woudl control that room... but then you had the lag possibilty of everyone spamming the channel.

It would be a game nightmare for global ingame chat.. on a world with 90,000 people.... lets say 1/2 the world is sleeping 45,000?

Straight from the Dev blog:

This info was for when they released 1.25
What chat rooms will be available? Can we create our own ones?
The initial version plans to offer three room types: Town chat, county chat and fort battle chat. Other channels are possible, but that’s for the start. Also, it is planned that anyone can send whisper / tell messages to anyone. One priority is, that you can always hide your online status. Only your town mates will always know your online status. One remaining problem is the lack of moderation of the county chat – while town founders and councilors can moderate the town channel, the county is lacking such possibilities. Though we plan that affronts within the chat can be reported like in other places, this might still be problematic for the county chat. If there are too many affronts being generated, we might consider switching the county chat off.
