thats gone for good*
this game will also have the most indepth crafting system ever created.
and
and plenty of non instinced dungeons. no instinces in the entire game.
All housing is free placed in the world as well as guild keeps.. guilds can build cities.
Also theres no global chat all trading and group finding must be done in person. You are forced to interact.
Which is amazing.. chat channels ruin games.

You can't force players to be limited like that, however, it just won't fly. The thing is, we're all on the internet, and all it takes is a group of fed-up players to build a chat program that works in tandem with the game.

I already see it. In a year's time after this game's release, a starting player won't just download the client, they'll download the client and the handful of user wrapper/add-on programs that add in those lost functions.

I predict a 3rd party GPS and a 3rd party global chat within the first year.

they are not going to allow anyone to use macros or 3rd party programs.
esspecially not a GPS.
there will not be any minimap ever in MO and you must have a cartopgrapher craft you a map he drew and a compass he made not a 3rd party add on.

The way I saw it is there is chat channels but you don't automatically join any so if someone wanted to create a "general" channel then they could but no one would nesscarily be in there.

Wrong sir. the devs have said plenty of times there will be..

Say
Whisper (only people near you and can be overheard)
guild
Pigeons (long distance tells that are delayed)

While I support their efforts I think that might be a little extreme. I mean people run IRC and other chat services on games that have fully functioning chats I imagine the same will be done here maybe only more widespread.
