Chat room split

[ifrit10]

Has the chat room been split?

Why did it have to be split ?I've lost some friends but also gained new ones. Now I can't talk to those I knew before. How is it decided which room you end up in?

Can't I have my friends back?

Anyone any ideas?

Why wasn't the Beginning kept separate from The Arena ? This is totally unfair on those who have paid for The Arena. A lot in my chat room don't even have ghosts !
Give us our friends back

I agree, we have gotten to know many friends thought the chat room, suddenly most, (not all) of them are gone, no where to be found. Then I find out that they are in a different chat room? this seems ridiculous. I can hardly find someone in my chat room that has a ghost I can duel. More than half of them haven't created (probably because they can't) one. I think either people with arena should chat with others with arena. and beginning chat with beginning. or make it a choice to choose the chat room you enter in to. It seems awfully unfair to separate us this late into it after we have talked to and gotten to know so many people that now are out of reach...

Tallywacker started a thread about this also that I posted on, but I agree. It's like ifrit, sillymonkey and skylar16 are stuck in a void!

Thanks H! Don't worry about me, I'm just floating off in space..... Not a part of this at all....

There are people i haven't talked to in awhile and i think this may explain it? Also, a lot of people don't seem to have ghosts. I was just thinking they weren't playing the Arena but now that this split chat thing has appeared it's making me wonder. I agree with the arena and beginning chats being split.

That's my two cents.

Aishayyyy I miss you too! I'd like to have you back from the void as well

Hey guys, I emailed Danielle and let her know what was up...she told me at the moment there isn't anything we can do about it, but they're expanding the chat feature in the future, so it should be fixed soon I hope

???Anytime I have been in the Tavern it doesn't seem like anyone wants to actually chat about AF.

[raine6]

It's like the mature people purchased Arena and the young-ins' bought AF II. The chat has definitely changed.

I am in the void with Ifrit. It sucks badly!! And not because I am there with Ifrit. They really need to fix this issue. With all the things I have had to do to be able to play this game it is ridiculous.

I am not happy with the chat room split either. I don't know why it cant just be rooms that fill up when people log on/off so that it is random each time. But perhaps there are technical reasons for that.

Also, this was put in place over a very busy period - lately I have seen the amount of chat drop off - if people are stuck in the same room then won't it thin out too much? Anyhow I hope a better interface were you can access anyone in chat is comming soon...

[h4l0]

They're working on it, I talked to Danielle. We just have to be patient! We can still chat with our favorite players via Wall Messages

[deseao]

I agree with H4l0. However, given how wall messages are permanent, it would be nice to have either selectable rooms, or a split between AF2 and arena. Perhaps a selection in the main menu to choose a chat room? With both a total count and a friend count to let you know which one is most in use?
