It would be interesting to see if there's a balanced way to address this. There are some solid methods of communication in place already for sure, but there are also people like myself playing during hours when the shard is far less active and I often have a region to myself.
It would be a bit nice to have a channel with signs of life where I didn't feel like I was breaking the rules by joking around or meeting new people.
It could easily bring issues with policing a new channel etc etc. It might also give Ryzom a bit of extra staying power with new players though. Easy enough to ignore the channel if you want. Players on during slow hours get to see active chatting and life in Atys.
Of course we could just leave things as is and assume we're not going to get thumped for goofing off in uni when it hasn't moved in 2 hours. That would probably work fine.
