Jpo2434 3 Posted July 24, 2012 I wanted to know whether or not side chat is disabled on all servers. I think that without side chat the game is so darn lonely. It also adds a whole new aspect to the game because you make deals with other people and you have to decide whether or not to trust them. I've only found one server with side chat so far and that was by far the most fun I'd had playing this game. However, I haven't found one since. I think the servers should have side chat enabled! It makes the game way more fun and interesting! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K5v9n 4 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) I agree, plus it's much easier to read peoples intentions from their voice than practically playing russian roullette with every encounter, but as for your question noone ( at leat no servers I've been on) have it enabled.

Sgt Abraham Ford 82 Posted July 24, 2012 I think admins should have the option to enable it like the other settings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xXCoNuNdRuMXx 7 Posted July 24, 2012 US34 has global chat enabled. You have to be careful though becuase global chat servers are common targets for hackers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sillocan 1 Posted July 30, 2012 The thing about global chat is that server owners can not edit these files anymore. Atleast Vilayer cannot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
