As some may have noticed, the server's been getting pretty big at times. As a result, the chat in-game gets pretty cluttered too.
I'm thinking of introducing several new "mini rooms" into the chat in-game which can be access via commands like "/chat 1" or "/chat room1" or the like. What do you guys think?
Current chat commands like /chat rp and /chat g will still work perfectly fine.
So what do you guys think of multiple channels in-game?

Default would still be normal chat and every time you rejoin, you'd end up there. I'd still have an announcement though, obviously.

Maybe an announcement that says something like
Room 1 [2/10]
Room 2 [3/10]
Room 3 [0/10]
Room 4 [12/10]
?
Room 1 [2/10]
Room 2 [3/10]
Room 3 [0/10]
Room 4 [12/10]
?

Do you have a hour emergency call systems broadcasting radio station WNYW or Internet Explorer? Well? Which one? Cyros admits the truth: http://i.snag.gy/GTy14.jpg |

That'd be a bit more difficult to work out... unless you want code a add-on onto herochat :3

Yes, I support this. This allows some privacy and prevents the chat from looking so cluttered.

I'm up for it if you want it.
freelance programming ftw.

I dont know how/how many of us like to RP, but multiple rooms would deffinately help with the facillitation of such endevors.
Depending on how difficult it is, Perhaps you could set the chat to Check for a Prefix, and give it a funky color if spoken through the prefix. I don't know exactly how Minecraft chat works, nor do I know anything about coding, but I envision it something like.
/Setchat "+"
Now that person will hear/see everything in that room with...uh...Pink lettering. To speak into the room, One would simply type "+" before anything they say (E.g: + Guybrush: Im talking!)
Aside from annocements and other important notes, that room would be isolated and free of excess clutter. To return to normal chat, you'd have some other little thingy like "Setchat Default" Or some such. The key to the system is that the Chat is set to anything with the designated prefix, which could be anything within the " ". Maybe several people are on and I don't think Chat + will be open, so to be safe, I got my own unlikely code "-*^", which checks all things that don't bypass the filter (Annocements and such) for the -*^. If it does not have -*^ in front of it, it will be filtered from my veiw. If it does, it will appear In Pink (Or maybe a different color) in my chatbox.
Like I say, I don't know much about the degree of freedom we have over it, but I think basic programs have a way to code a "Check Varriable "___" " "and/if (Yes/No)" "Display (If Yes)" thing like im talking about.

I gazed up at the sable-haired maiden with eyes so full of warmth it appeared she was crying silently. My trecherous mouth opened, "Why do you look so troubled, Princess?"
Slowly, she moved her eyes from the moon to me. She studied my imperfections before her for what seemed to be a blissful eternity before gracing me with her voice, "I've slain this land's only prince. What use, now, is a princess?"
As the maiden left my presence, so too did my heart.

there's actually already an rp chat accessible with /chat rp :P
With the chat system we have right now, you can be in multiple "channels", though you can only speak in one of them at a time. In order to send a single message to another chat, though we only have RP and global chat right now, you would type /shoutat global <msg> or the like. More information in the RP Chat Information Thread
