First, UO (the father of MMO) hadn't any "global" chat channel, if i'm not wrong.

And how about macro...i've read posts stating:
Quote:
If anyone will use any 3rd party macro software, they should be banned
and i much pretty agree with this, but, what about 3rd party "chat" programs?
So basically, if something you don't like is used...."Banhammer"...
...if it's something you like..."It's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY"?

If developers will leave global chat out, isn't using a 3rd party chat program something like "illegal"?
If developers will give us a macro system, isnt' using a 3rd party macro program something like "legal"?

Maybe my thoughts are "flawed", but i don't really see anything wrong...enlight me please...
