Well today i've logged on (right now it's 8:00pm) and there was only 4 people in trade chat and 21 in general chat. Where is everyone?! How can there be under 100 players in chat?!?!
I don't think I've ever seen a gold spammer in chat.
It's funny, people never join general, never talk when they're in it, act annoyed when people do and then go on the forums and complain about how unsocial the game is.
I don't generally use the chats but DivineZero is right, I know for sure at least general chat is capped at 100 then it starts a new one. Not sure if others are too.

Are you saying instead of having the entire server in GC (assuming everyone opted in), you only get 100 random people? And your friend may get another set of 100 random peaople, without you in it? If this is true then it has to be one of the most idiotic software design decisions I've seen in a while.
Yes, let's enjoy 1000 people talking in general chat at the same time.

It's more like 1000's of people and it's opt in. Also, that's the point of GC. Restricting it to an instance of 100 improves the social aspect how?
It's not about improving the social aspect, it's about improving server performance. If you've played many online games, you've seen situations where huge amounts of chat in a short amount of time has led to many a server meltdown. Beyond that, having 1000's of people carrying on conversations at once in a single channel doesn't improve the social aspect either.

Anyone can explain this? I'm on US
no no your first instinct was right
/sigh... same
It ruined D2 chat, and is working on ruining D3 chat... and Blizzard just seems impotent to deal with it.

Must not be in Trade chat then. That's where I noticed it the most, especially late at night.
