The Global and Tactical Chats

For easier communication between the players, we have introduced the Global and the Tactical Chats.

The Tactical Chat:
This chat is for communication between the players on the one and the same location. In order to enter this chat one should switch to the tactical screen. The tactical chat preserves the history consisting of the 50 latest messages.
The Global Chat:
The Global Chat is intended for communication among all the players of a given server as its name suggests. Here you can send messages, view other players’ messages and create separate chat rooms for your friends only, for example.
A player who creates a private chat gets the control panel that permits addition or removal of players from the private chat room. The general and the private chat scrolls preserve the latest 70 messages.

On every server, there is a group of players who are given the rights of the chat moderators. Such players view the chat scrolls browsing for violations in accordance with the chatting rules that are given below.
If a player violates any item of the Rules, he/she will be muted for a period of time chosen by the moderator.
