You don't.
As far as i'm aware it not fully implemented in the game yet......you could say it's another "half finished" game mechanic. ;)

It showing a tiny scroll IS "having it closed".

IT remains on the screen because it's a permanent screen feature. And, if you have global chat on, and are showing yourself available for chat, the text on the scroll TURNS RED when you receive a message when closed down to the small scroll.

That way, you don't have to have a quarter of your screen blocked by the open GC scroll, waiting for messages that may or may not come.

The way I see it, Global chat is just an extension to General Chat.......which is just full of kids on about doing things to each others mothers in PvP......waste of time and resources which is why it never got finished.

I want the scroll gone ... how?
Since the scroll is attached to Global Chat and displays for you I think you have the option to be in GC selected. Want scroll gone, drop out of GC by de-selecting it. <shrug>

See, I do not use GC (in CC) and therefore have no scroll.

So, you have absolutely no idea how it works?

It's not really a "global chat". It's more a "cross-shard private chat" system.

It's a system that you can add friends to, so that you can have PRIVATE 1-to-1 (no groups) conversations between the two of you while on any characters, any shards, so long as both of you have the chat on.

NO ONE can contact you through it without one of you adding the other and the recipient of the invite accepting the contact info.

Ahh, I've never "cross-sharded" so I really have no need of this chat.
Cross sharding still is the single worst thing to happen to UO in my opinion.

4th worse thing.

1. Losing the devs they lost when they moved from austin
2. Losing the devs they lost when they moved from Redwood Shores
3. Losing Draconi
4. Cross sharding

:D :/

The GC is a new addition to UO, and allows people to communicate/message across shards. If you play UO all by yourself and have no friends elsewhere, it does not mean that we have to nuke it. So far it is the only messaging in the system you can send private messages to some1 else even in the same shard? Also it is a tiny little speck as a scroll. I cant see why we are all so OLD and strange about it. Since we are at it lets also nuke the cell phones, and all instant messaging systems...etc..etc..Cmon guys get real. Suggest something else like make it more readable etc.

Please tell me, did you ever get this thing closed by chance?
I also have it on one of my toons too (just one though which is weird); no idea how it got there. Would love to remove it from my screen (I don't have the bar showing to hide it either... I like a cleans screen).
