thirstycactus 0 Posted April 3, 2013 Hey, quick question. Is using group chat the same thing as using the side chat? I'm confused if you are in a server that doesn't allow side chat if there is another way to talk to someone close to you. What I've read makes me think there is a difference. Like using group chat just works for people close to you and side chat goes to everyone on the server. Am I completely wrong here? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thirstycactus 0 Posted April 3, 2013 Oh, ok sweet. So even on the servers that don't allow side chat you can still talk to someone close to you with direct chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herrjon 478 Posted April 3, 2013 That's how you should always talk to people close to you even with side enabled. You don't give away any info to the entire server, and a lot of servers kick/ban people who use VON over side chat. If you have a buddy you know you're going to play with though, I'd recommend using 3rd party programs for communication. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thirstycactus 0 Posted April 3, 2013 Ya. Agreed. Thanks a lot. That will come in handy when trying to talk to people trying to kill me, which is everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
