tavern chat

[Tzone]

remove help chat for everyone 100 hours or some other length out of haven with exceptions for helpful people who have special perms.

After this add global chat but only if you are standing in one of the games taverns. This makes towns, and taverns have a purpose and makes the game feel less dead. You could have it read by everyone or only by those in taverns but the main thing is that players cant chat with out being in a tavern.

Just delete helpchat entirely. They force people into helpchat koto guild discord anyway.

100% agreed, communication in this game needs to be diegetic. People in helpchat are like smack addicts tho, i'd love to see how many dedicated helpchat warriors quit the game after its removed.

This is a pretty neat idea. For any lore concerns on why this is possible the tavern keepers could be using some sort of magic to facilitate this. Heck if they really want to tie in more systems to it they could go back to making the game where you can kill NPCs and they don't respawn for a certain amount of time to give players the chance to kill a tavern keeper to stop players at that location from calling out for reinforcements if the town is under attack. (Well I guess that does nothing outside of role play since everyone will just put out the word on the map/discord anyway =/ still would be cool)
