	I have been playing about 3 years now and I have no idea what this means in the game. What are channels? Is this just a term for the different chat windows or is there somehting more? Like private channels could be created and password accessed? I see there are chat channels but don't know much about them.

They are more wide ranging and take more time to test. Of course every time you get like this, I keep wondering where your MMO is so I can play it. Obviously you know excatly how to piece one of these together. I can't keep apologizing a gazillion times for the back end tech and things people did on this game before I was even an employee. So one last time, yes some of the stuff from the before times sucks. Sorry about that. Yes we know, stop building new systems. Yes we know, finish the ones out there. Yes we know you hate bards. And screw you for bringing up the laid off folks. That sucks every time. I made sure all my people landed in other jobs real quick. None of my 'casualties' are unemployed, just sadly not employed by Turbine. Every business goes through this.Even Valve has layoffs. It sucks every time. If you haven't had to do it then you just don't know. Picking people and knowing you are about to turn their life upside down is terrible, every time. Not giving a bleep. No, I stop listening when the bile starts. Not worth my sanity. You know my rule, treat me like a human and I'll do the same back. When the rage train starts...cya. So here is my peace out of the vault for a while. Thanks for the list Ranger, that was actually clear and helpful.

Yes. /joinchannel and /createchannel Channels are generally created to fill raids/groups without truly pugging. The good ones are invite only.

	You can create private channels. They can be open or password protected. You can create your own by typing /joinchannel whateveryouwantthechanneltobecalled - it's then assigned to one of the 4 userchat options, you need to have userchat turned on as incoming text in whatever chat window you are using. Password protected ones it's /joinchannel channelname password. I have mine in both guild and party windows. Say it's a channel called stuff and it's assigned to userchat 1 - you can communicate in that channel by typing /stuff hello or /1 hello in whatever chat window you are in. If you have Userchat 1 set as a valid incoming message in that chat window you will see responses. Once you have set up the channel with the /joinchannel request the game remembers this and will log you into it in the future. You leave the channel by typing /leavechannel. You can see how many people are in the channel when you log in but not who they are.

We should be able to list the people in channel. The channel creator should have kicking authority. We shouldn't have to re-enter our channels when we LR or TR. Among many many many other things.

Thanks once again for your simple little mind and the ability your ignorance has for making an innocent thread about an area of DDO that has had very little attention to� now develop into a big crusade. I am sure I can deflect any trolling with suggestions like: 1. Absolutely maintain the ability to protect the channels. 2. All channels names will be displayed but passwords will be protected 3. The creator of the channel will be shown but the creator will have an option to remain anonymous 4. Number of members in channel will be displayed 5. How active the channel is will be displayed (last used in hours) Good for you on the successfull trolling of Bazinga. My hats off to you.
