Chat channels
Chat channels are separate areas where you can chat. The default modes are: Say, Tell, Shout, Out of Character, Auction, Group, Guild, Raid, and Fellowship.
In addition, the server creates several other channels. Characters level 20 and under auto join the "NewPlayers" channel. Characters level over level 20 auto join "General", and a class specific channel, and there are Norrath continent based channels as well. Auto joining channels can be disabled under the options window.
Players can also create their own channels, with and without passwords.
