This sounds exactly like
Linkshells
in
FFXIV
so this does exist as a feature, but in another game. I wouldn't mind it personally.

What about spammers? They would then have to be banned from several fcs at a time.


Realistically, players who find that irritating have an ignore list to keep adding each spammer, I think after making 6 or so new accounts to get past being added to ignore each time spammers are gonna get bored, besides you need a new email + doing the Ashdale tutorial for each account you make(tutorial island for OSRS) which takes time to do.

On paper it'd be nice, but in practice I think it'd be a disaster. People already accidentally post in the wrong chat all the time, struggling to keep public/private/clan chats separate from the Friends chat. Throwing even more virtually indistinguishable Friend chats to keep track of on top of it would only make the problem exponentially worse.

No support, unless the chat system gets some sort of dramatic rework that makes it significantly easier for people to tell which chat they're talking to.

I agree, being able to enter multiple friend chats would be a nice feature.

However, I'm wary that many of the popular community event chats may fill up and remain full by players using their second friend chat spot permanently on certain event chats, in turn blocking out many other players from those chats.

To get around this, perhaps there should be two separate friend chat limits:

> 1000 players can access the chat to read only;

> 200 players can access the chat to read and chat.

It's not a perfect solution, but it may go some way to alleviating the issue.

coming back to this, perhaps from a technical view you can only chat in a channel if it is your active solo chat window - we already have the ability to isolate chat into a single source per window (such as the clan/friends chat only channels), so how about just say "if this is a single-source channel you can chat, otherwise it is read only at most for that channel" - that would eliminate the slashes to denote which channel the text goes into, because it would only have one option at the time. Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?
