World Chat

General Discussion
With the exception of one day, I have not been able to type in WC.  I have tried changing the world chat setting many times and still no luck.  If a GM sees this, is there any ETA when this will,be fixed?

    It is a bug that Papaya is working on fixing, however much of their time they are taking...

    It seems though that if you block someone, this tends to happen a lot more. I had to remove the couple of players I had blocked in order to speak in WC. I didn't have a problem most of the time after that.

    More and more it is making me to believe that Papaya just take over uwo to host it as a private server. Probably the leftover bandwidth are adjusted to uwo in order to run the game.

    I don't think they seriously going to improve anything in uwo. One of the Papaya probably has played as a pirate in OGP before and so he just take over uwo and make it as his own private game since he is a game publisher of other games. 

    This is my assumptions though, I hope I feel it wrong.

    Had one player blocked.  Removed that and no change.  I just hope it gets fixed soon.

    I'm this issue of not being able to talk should be the #1 focus of GMs at the moment not multis. This bug affects me more than anything else in this game. It's that serious

    I disagree with you, CPC.

    You still have company chat, private chat, fleet chat. And you still have fb and forum.

    Multi x5 is killing the game rather fast. The world chat bug can wait, especially when it has a workaround.

    No world chat means NO MERCHANT CHAT either I can't do auctions buy or sell or find fleets or advertise my SBing services. 


    Company chat 50ppl
    Party chat 5 ppl (if you are in a fleet but I use wc to find fleet)
    Private only to reach friends or ppl I see in visible vicinity). 
    Fb don't use and if I did its not fast enough to be used effectively same with forum. 


    Look you hate alts WE GET IT but a damn multi box isn't stopping my BASIC FUNCTIONS of the game buying and selling as a trader. Sorry wc and merchant not working and frequent disconnects is 100x more important than some player  that I don't know or care about bringing 2 extra alts full of spice. Big freaking deal! Fix my damn ability to TALK aka 75% of the game requires talking!

    In the past we did not have world chat as free feature, but you ran auctions regardless.

    I think ppp can fix other things first, e.g. ban all multi abusers before worrying about this bug.

    That is absolutely 100% False when world chat was pay only I was still a newbie like level 5. About 3 months after I started playing world chat was turned to free and even then no player would trust a 3 month old player with their stuff.  I spent about 1 year land battling and winning the title then was known for that and starting my company THEN I finally started auctioning 2 and a half years after world chat became free.


    Nobody cares about multi over the ability to talk only you.  I think you're beginning to obsess over multi at this point that you're actually saying Papaya should remove all multis before restoring the ability to TALK. You need to really step back off this multi issue and think about what you're saying multi is not a bigger issue than being able to speak fellow players in an mmorpg.

    Any status updates on this issue PLEASE not to whine but this is a major component of us traders and sellers in game we need to talk...


    What's the deal with this?

    How many post do we have about world chat

    Has this been a big issue? I have had the chat not work a half dozen times but only for a few minutes after i login then it fixes itself.
    The disconnect issue would be #1 problem as I see it.
    I get the 2::2 disconnect every 10-30 minutes.
    Really sucks in battle when you can get sunk due to the issue and lose items.

    I can't believe the chat issue would be complex for them to fix.

    The 2:2 issue may have something to do with their cloud service provider. They probably purchased a low grade service.

    This is similar to the red ring issue during an esf in the past. The sudden surge of simultaneous online players put too much pressure on the server and its network infrastructure.

    Here it could be due to the sudden surge of new players due to school holidays.
