Level chat channels are gone!

[Striikor]

<p>No longer have level chats to select. Put the ones I subscribe to in 'custom' but they don't work. Checked with other on the server and they are having the same issue.</p><p>MOTD indicated  cross server chat, in-game mail and friends lists  but if the regular WW channels are gone might as well hang it up till they get it fixed not going to be able to get a group together.</p>

<p>Having the same problem - no chat channels available; either custom or default - on both my accounts, also mailboxes aren't working either. Tried different characters on same account and had the same issue.</p><p>I cannot see why this should affect servers not engaged in the current merge between Blackburrow & Everfrost, apart from poor/bad programming.</p>

<p>All four accounts are like this for us, no level channels even showing in chat options adn our custom channels are listed but we cannot join them.</p><p>We are on Guk, not a server that is moving and it started last light before the merge began.</p><p>Edit to add that patching did not fix the problem, we have NO chat channels at all, NONE.</p>

<p>LOL even /shout does not work! This totally eliminates PUGS. The only chance for running instances is a guildie group.</p><p>Sorry but somehow I did not get the cross server meant on server level channels.</p><p>So if this is by design we will not be able to get or form pugs until the servers are all merged?</p><p>And it is intended for this to happen on every subsequent merge?</p><p>So we just tradeskill until the mergers are all over?</p><p>I felt no anst with the oncoming mergers but now I sincerely hope ya'll put the hammer down and do them all at once at this point.

<p>I here by instate freeport and qeynos as homecitys, and the taverns in the main housing districts "eg, Lions mane inn" as the "LFG" spots. hehe,, im just being silly. but it feels..strange..that communication is local and guild only.... reminds me of Ultima ^_^... where you found groups in taverns, not by spamming channels... il say it again, leave em off sony *giggles* this is kinda fun... first time anyone has TALKED to me...and there has been no whining..like,,,ever.... lack of channels improves EQ2</p>

<p>Methinks this is very very poor programming to have non-merging server specific chat channels and mail affected in such a way.</p><p>Considering this is the start of Frostfell and with a new quest in the mail system it is more than farcical that this is happening and affecting all servers rather than those being merged.</p><p>I would strongly suggest that you look into addressing this issue prior to the next server merge as no doubt this issue is affecting gameplay for a fair number of players who group and raid when they cannot communicate via chat.</p>

<p>Sweet, no more PuG's for the next few weeks.  I guess I'll go play some other game in the meantime.</p>
