Maybe we need a server for kids and wifes who can't handle a few bad words, then we can bring the rest of the servers back to Mature.Yep we can leave, but my wife being "unknowledgeable" in certain things had to put up with hours of gutter language and 4 letter words you wouldt believe until i fixed it for her. Anyway we should't have to leave, these "mature" folk that know all the clever vocabulary should be banned from any channel if they can keep to the roc.
Maybe i should post a list of names here, i have most of it logged.
Spoken like a true PvPer...Maybe we need a server for kids and wifes who can't handle a few bad words, then we can bring the rest of the servers back to Mature.
I miss when you did not get banned for certain words ingame. It's just words and there is a ingame filter for this.
I agree 100% with you on this one. I will wait to see how it all works once it is live a nd fully implemented into the game, but for now and I assume the foreseeable future I will do as you do and not use the system save for certain occasions.I dont like the convo's that go on in new chat channels at all, I think its often very immature, and pointless, so I too opt to keep it closed 90% of the time....tho the dirty words, or mature content dont bother ME at all.
Its mostly the name calling, and $hit talking that goes on and on and on with a type of snowball effect in most cases.
Spoken like a true PvPer...
Be a little understanding, some people don't like to listen to the same type of $hit you do and why should they have to? They are here to enjoy the game and its hard to when you have a bunch of 12 year olds talking $hit to each other for hours on end. Luckily I am on a low population shard so I haven't had to deal with this. It should have a built in filter so you don't have to leave the chat. If you want to talk $hit then start your own channel and do it there.

I'm female too but as I always had worked in male jobs, this words are just words.
I don't understand this "Yep we can leave, but my wife being "unknowledgeable" in certain things had to put up with hours of gutter language and 4 letter words you wouldt believe until i fixed it for her", it's year 2009.
I do agree it need a GM to keep an eye on the spam that may happen there
I'm a woman too but I guess I'm old fashioned. My parents raised me to have some class and filling up a chat with foul language isn't very classy in my opinion. So far *all* of the foul language I've seen in chat has been from pvp trash talk. A few times some players suggested that the pvpers take it over to the Felucca channel, but the pvpers didn't like it too much. Honestly I don't care if someone wants to beat his/her chest to express their pvp prowess, but I do draw the line at personal/real life insults and racist comments. That being said, I haven't seen anything too severe on my shard and hopefully it stays that way. If players can't act appropriately, they probably risk being banned or having tons of restrictions put on the chat system.Maybe we need a server for kids and wifes who can't handle a few bad words, then we can bring the rest of the servers back to Mature.

The trouble with terms like "lady" is you buy into the idea that some women are inherently better than others. There's no reason why a woman driving a truck or digging a ditch has any less value than one that styles hair or sells cosmetics. And to attribute bovinity, implying dull wit and compliance, to a woman who does as she wishes rather than as she is expected is a misappropriation.Guess what....there's still some real ladies out there ok? Not all women lug freight, drive trucks or chew cud.
Vulgarity goes far beyond the use of profanity. It often hides in plain sight, behind a façade of convention and conservatism.I wear a hardhat, yet don't "need" to prove myself by using vulgarity, I grew out of that.

Elaborate please. Tell everyone here exactly how to do it and we can start cleaning this mess up you dumped in our laps.Keep in mind, you can petition on players in chat if they are violating the TOS. There is a new way to target players in the harassment petition system for global chat.
How about don't roll out a feature until its fully built and tested? This chat thing should not have been released until it was completely finished.We are working on a feature to allow you to ignore other players in the chat channels. We will release it as soon as it is ready.

That is interesting to know. It sounds like all "accounts" have been issued a "chat ID." I wonder if this ID will continue to be visible once the update is live? I ask because I am sure there will be people upset that they can not disassociate their main from their alts. Makes no nevermind to me, but I present the same attitude and etiquette no matter which character I am playing.Just tested incognito on chat. The name changes but the id # does not.
We've got an interesting problem on Atlantic. We have a chat channel terrorist. He spams his site. Personally, I don't care what he says for the most part I'm usually busy doing something. But, if he doesn't get enough hits on his site he tells us if enough of us don't visit his site in a certain period of time he will spam the channel completely. Then he does...We are working on a feature to allow you to ignore other players in the chat channels. We will release it as soon as it is ready.

I wish I knew how he was doing that.. not for my own purposes, but when I tried to use control Q to repeat something I had said in chat, it didnt work. So I assumed that repeating something or spamming wouldnt work at all.We've got an interesting problem on Atlantic. We have a chat channel terrorist. He spams his site.

He just sets something to spam ceaselessly. It totally makes playing with the channel on impossible since it covers up a large part of your screen and theres nothing you can do but leave chat.
There's GOT to be something that can be done about someone that threatens you and then totally disrupts many peoples game experience. This is the best harrassment I've ever seen. There's nothing at all we can do about it, and he knows it. He thinks its funny.
Require trail accounts to have either a credit card, email address, phone number, address.... something that can be tracked.
well, on legends every single person who is smack-talking and swearing is directing their comments at other pvpers.Isn't it amazing how quickly this became a Fel/Tram thing?
This is always going to be the case, and its not really about Fel/Tram. Its about one group's desire for order and the other's vicious apetite for chaos. The way I see it UO has not changed from its beginnings in that respect. Every attempt to impose order on those that despise it has failed and probably always will.
Maybe thats on Legends, but thats not how it is everywhere else.well, on legends every single person who is smack-talking and swearing is directing their comments at other pvpers.
i'm sure it's just a coincidence.
pvping is for the immature. when you grow up you realize it's better to work with people than against them. (growing up is a maturity thing, so don't tell me you're 35).
...it's statements like that that keep the ridiculous tram/fel arguments going. I know I've seen even more immature people in tram who refuse to go to fel. Now don't get me wrong, I've also seen immature people in fel as well. My point is simply immature people are ALL OVER UO, not just fel pvp. But statements like your own in stereotyping all pvpers is immature in itself. Congrats.pvping is for the immature. when you grow up you realize it's better to work with people than against them.

Eyes of Origin, I could not agree more with you on our situation on the Pacific shard and this particular player... *sighs*Its actually just one person on Pacific and boy, does she know how to push peoples buttons!
There sure will be. Once the server portion of this update makes it off of TC1 and out to the production shards it will maintain your choice, so once you leave you will stay out of the chat system until you choose to join another channel. Because our shards have not received the update the new chat system in the client is not communicating properly with the old chat system that is still live on the servers. We were all warned in the patch notes that there will be oddities with the system until the update is complete. Also a few Mythic folks have posted multiple comments on this so for now we have to "leave" each time we login. A pain no doubt, but a temporary one.Eyes of Origin, I could not agree more with you on our situation on the Pacific shard and this particular player... *sighs*
Is there a way for us to stay perma logged off of chat though? It seems like no matter what I do, my characters are still automatically logged right back into the stupid General -Trammel chat when I log out and relog back into UO. IS there a way to stay perma logged off? If so, someone... anyone... please kindly clue me in.
Many thanks, all!

Happy Holidays!Global Chat System
Classic Client 7.0.4.1: Updated 12/11/09 @ 5:40PM EST
•‘Chat’ button on the menu bar will now open a Channel Selection window instead of the Chat window.
•Channel Selection window will allow users to join, leave, or create a chat channel. User may only participate in one channel at a time.
•Text from a chat channel will appear in the System Messages area and in the Journal.
•Players may use the comma key (,) to participate in a chat channel.
• Fixed an issue with the Japan language setting crashing the Legacy Client
•Fixed the issue with Grapes of Wrath and Enchanted Apples not unstacking.
Enhanced Client 4.0.4.0:
•Added new button on the menu bar that opens the Channel Selection window
•Channel Selection window will allow users to join, leave, or create a chat channel. User may only participate in one channel at a time.
•Text from a chat channel will appear in chat tabs that have the ‘Custom’ chat text filter enabled.
•Players may use /c, /chat, or the comma key (,) to participate in a chat channel.
NOTE: Due to the difference in schedules of client patches and shard publishes, users will experience minor irregular behavior with this system when using the updated clients on shards that have not received the new publishes. This includes missing messages when leaving a chat channel, always auto-joining the General-Trammel channel on login, and seeing a non-finalized list of available default channels (The final list will only include: General, Looking For Group, Help, and Trade).
Thank God.We are working on a feature to allow you to ignore other players in the chat channels.
