I haven't minded the chat yet, but haven't spent much time on a busier shard like GL or Atlantic since it was implemented. When you're playing on a fairly quiet shard and no guildmates are also on, it's actually kind of nice to see a message flit by every few minutes so you know you're not completely alone! I've also seen it help make some sales of items that I doubt would have happened otherwise. Oftentimes on the small shards it's hard to find "basic" items for sale. I think the chat system will be helpful for people who are new to such a shard and have characters still in training make the connections needed to buy some of those items.

What I haven't seen so far on the couple of shards where I've played are people being obnoxious with spamming. On Formosa, I think someone was repeating a message periodically (hard to tell when it's in Chinese) last night, but he was spacing his messages about 3-5 minutes apart.
I heard a neat discussion of UO real estate.

Seems that in UO, as in real life, waterfront properties are considered more valuable.

doesn't always sync for me (firefox), the 1st time it did - looked cool

So where's this Menu Bar? The one w/ paperdoll, map, chat, etc?
I tried to leave, but it always says i'm min help channel.

How do make speech go out on default channel, type a certain char before my text?
