In all honesty, I am very Neutral about this topic.
The topic about bringing General Chat up is not a new one in this community, as it's been several years since Feral-Heart has been up.
Why I'm All for it -- While I might be all for bringing back General Chat, there are some cons that I'll list down below later in this. General allows for the player to communicate with other players across-map. It's similar to how online multiplayer games can spy on other's conversations while you're on your own, busying away with other tasks, but can also contribute to the conversation here and there. Impressive Title Servers advocate for the general chat due to speech bubbles that are definitely a big flaw to said "local" chat, whereas Feral-Heart does not have that issue, so Local has been big on how community members interact with one another. Although I joined a little later than the existence of the General-Chat, I've heard lots about how a variety of old players would definitely enjoy to see it's return. If a large amount of players would like to seen it's return, then It, perhaps, wouldn't hurt to see what it would be like. Feral-Heart has grown since it's previous years.
After the incident back late last year, Feral-Heart's player count has more than likely, decreased; therefore you wouldn't see as many online as you used to, and this would even apply to years prior to 2018. FH's lessening population would encourage General's return !
However, I believe that Feral-Heart can still be, and has been, thriving without it.
Here's why I don't find it necessary - General Chat, If I remember correctly, or read it somewhere, was removed due to the high population count. If you already knew, people talk a whole lot in Local Chat already. Now, imagine the amount of spam and flooding that General-Chat would receive if members over a whole map could communicate all at once. It would also be an unfortunate hassle for Razmirz to remove it, and now add it back in, and if he felt like it didn't have a purpose to hold, take it back out. Many people tend to group up in The-Grounds, mainly around the portal area to check out what's going on in Local chat, or even be around friends, but most times than not, people wouldn't contribute to what's going on. There is also this slight boundary where younger-aged members will confuse Local and General-Chat. Local, you often see the... interesting role-plays that go on there. As for Party Chat, I don't find it quite of a nuisance, as-in, Party Chat has been a type of private chat between a group of members online, or a separate role-play chat for frequent role-players.
Feral-Heart can still survive with or without the well-favored General in my opinion !
Although I'd love to hear more opinions, nonetheless.
