While not one of the newest, I am still quite new by the standards of the majority of the players. The greatest appeal of Ryzom is the community structure. Many have stated that other channels are for chat. I will pose reasons that show how those channels can be inadequate, Team chat is nice for private conversations, but if I am in a dig team in Flaming Forest and Goofymonkey is working with a plod team in the Void while Yorran is helping his guild team with fame runs, the only channel we have for community interaction is Uni... we are in separate guilds, separate factions and different regions, This eliminates team, guild, around, region and kara/kami chats. If as a community we want to interact, there needs to be a channel to support that phase of the game. Using Uni as a community chat channel sometimes causes Q&A questions to scroll by too quickly before someone can see and respond, so this can be a hindrance, but I personally enjoy the banter between friends, rivals and factions. It would be nice to have a channel that would not interfere with Q&A in which to promote this community solidarity
