No Autojoining channel 1 on startup :)

Nov 14, 2004 twist3r link
Just a little suggestion:

You should disable that you always are in channel 1 when you start the game.

I don't think that many people have any use in being there, and it's kinda disturbing if you have to leave channel 1 every time you start up the game.

good thing you only have to leave channel 1 once.

I always start in the channel I last used. How odd that you would be sent back to channel 1 after moving to a different channel... Are you sure you aren't just seeing the chat on channel 1 becuase you haven't left it? /leave 1 ?

i'm normaly in no single one channel.

so if i join a channel, a empty one as example, i wont be in channel 1 on startup?

You stay 'joined' to channels if you dont /leave them. That way you can monitor several channels at once without having to constantly switch between them. If you want to leave a channel (such as channel 1) you need to type /leave 1

jesus i know how the system works. it0s just that you automatically join channel 1 on startup IF you dont have any channels joined.

so if you leave all your channels, you automatically join 1? Why would you leave all your channels before logging off anyway?

Channel 1 is the default "no channel" selected in place for the noobs. If you choose to /leave all channels of course the program is going to send you back to channel 1. I[m okay with letting noob start on channel 1. A vet will come along and welcome them to the game and invite them to a general chat channel. It gives a new player some interaction with advanced players in a mentoring situation.
Currently we are holding on to channel 100 very hard as the chat channel. However as the game continues to evolve I expect other channels will become popular for different nations, groups and functions.
