Will anyone from the UO team be providing instructions on how to use the chat system? The gump options are merely Join, Leave, and Create. Is there a way to find out who else is in the channel? If you create your own channel, do you see any messages when someone joins or leaves the channel? Does anyone else see your channel as an option?
Most of the details should be listed in the patch notes. You have the basic functionality of chatting in, joining, leaving, and creating a channel. With the chat messages migrated over to the System Messages area and Journal, the chat gump needed to be updated to serve it's newer purpose which is channel management. All default and user-created channels will be listed in this gump, along with the channel you are currently in, and options to manage your current channel. To keep the interface and usability simple and easy to understand, the player listings are no longer available.
I did nothing but log in fel Ocllo and it says I joined a "help channel" and a "general-Trammel" channel.
I look at the help menu and i see nothing new i can talk in. What is going on?
Seeing the messaging for joining two channels will only be temporary until the publish is available on your home shard. You'll have all the options of channel management in the Chat button located on the menu bar. To chat in the channel, use the comma key (,) in the Classic Client or /c, /chat, comma (,) in the Enhanced Client. The messages will appear in the System Messages area and Journal.
