Add a level requirement for World channel

[Aurigon]

Greetings,
To prevent abuses, flood and spam from countless newly created level 1's, it would be nice if the World channel, the most used by the whole faction to LFG and whatnot, had a level requirement in place to meet before people can join it.

I'd say level 10, or maybe even 19 (for the lowest twinks).

I recommend Level 5.

[Aurigon]

I'm suggesting 10, preferably 19, because there's so many people in the 1-20 bracket (and therefore starting / beginning regions) that General channels are usually more than enough for their LFG / social needs, while they're leveling up.

Hence 19 is a good compromise to keep the channel actually usable and filter out the random chatter most would be uninterested in or listened to countless times already (how's the server? does the X quest work here? and so on). Also, the Dead Mines and Ragefire Chasm are the lowest dungeons and they're around said level, so...

rip banks chars !

set it to 5 if any level at all

Lvl 5 sounds good to me. Or make it so you need to have a char on your account that is at least lvl 19.

There's no need for world-access for anything bellow lvl15 really as it is then you'll start doing dungeons. I vote lvl15.

[Weston]

I vote level 15. It's when you're starting to move zones, and grouping starts becoming important.

hahahahaha

lvl5 is a 30m job so I say 15+

Bad idea.. There are quite a few quests that low levels may need help with. Not letting them speak on a channel limits their ability to get the help they need.

I think a better solution, rather than blocking channel access, might be to create a transparent channel that levels 1-5 (or 10) could be on. Transparent meaning it would still look just like the regular "1:General" just no one out side of their level range could see it.

That way the lowbies can still do their thing while not bothering those later on.

People creating toons to spam, will just be spamming low levels.
