So well, I realized that there is ''Local'' and ''General'' chat on FH, but what is the difference between them?

Well, the difference is that local chat is that it uses white clear writing and only accepts conversations from a certain distance. However, Global chat WAS green and used to advertise throughout the whole map so that everyone could see it. Unfortunately Global chat was removed (except from the name in the options of course) because people used it for chat and things got out of hand with spamming etc.. if you would like to find out more about that, it is located here.

Thanks for the information, but why do they say it was removed?
Because it isn't removed...
Edit: Oh, now I understand, so people now still have it so you can have two chats in different colors?

Nurr, I believe it's because they can't edit the game in anyway without the source code that KovuLKD has. Global chat and Local chat are just set as the same chats now, not much of a difference. The only difference are the names of the chats really.

So they are the same chat?
Or are they two different chats?
Just wondering ^^

They are two different chats, if you were here before it was removed general chat covered an entire map while local was only nearby, so yes, they are different chats. ^^

Just thought I'd clarify: General chat is not completely useless, for it can be used in personal maps and only that. So say you or a friend made a map for a rp and you went to it, that would mean that you and the people in that map can use general chat which works like group and whisper however it cannot work from different maps, you all must be present in the same map for general to be visible to you. General is only deactivated when in a public map like Fluorite or Bonfire (Lagfire I call it), so if you were to try saying something in general it would appear as local.
