When I was there yesterday I didn't think the chat was bad at all. In an hour and a half no spammers came, it passed the time of my mining, where I got some smithing pointers from master_smither, we congratulated people for leveling, and even have someone get a d skirt. Shadow then told us how d skirts are better with his story about them, and we all helped this newbie who had no clue about the game, even showing him crafting were he got his level to at least 7. Now what is so bad about that? If the chat stays like that I know what chat I will always be on.
