Side chat enabling to be decided by server owners.

Simple as that, server owners should be the ones who choose whether or not to enable sidechat, just like they can choose whether or not to enable most of the HUD and the third person perspective.

As a dozen assholes chant together regularly here: If you don't like it, go to a different server!

YES! it is boring with no chat. Let server owners decide.

Agreed , especially with this being in alpha it is important to discuss features and bugs in game , and while the lonelyness that no global chat brings is a good addition to the game , the main gameplay needs to come first.
