We don't have a massive LS as it is. If we split the conversation in any way, we would lose out notably. I also don't want to make people feel pressured to use it when they don't want to because everyone else is using it, or whatever. I don't want people to feel like they are being neglected from conversation or that people are no longer talking to them as they would have before because they are too busy with the TeamSpeak instead and have forgotten about the chat. I know that when I was using TeamSpeak, I pretty much didn't bother with chat at all. There were friends of mine that I literally forgot were online. That's not cool.

I want the chat - as in, the stuff people see in the screen - to be regular and constant. We have great friendships that have been built up over the years through it and many people have stated they aren't interested in voice chatting at all. The biggest thing, though, that has kept our group together is definitely the regular conversation between people when they hop online. There are some people who don't talk much, but when they do, we often jump at the opportunity to get them more involved. I'm told by many that our LS is pretty much the best they know of and many people leave their old free companies after a few days of being in our LS because they feel we're a better, friendlier group of people. Splitting conversation away from the introductions and so forth they might get would be a massive shame.

Again, I still feel TS has it's place in dungeon runs and whatnot when you're all too busy fighting to bother with typing out stuff, but I don't want the place to become the default area for all conversation as that would stop the regular flow of conversation within the currently very active, very successful and very friendly LS.

As the person most responsible for growing the LS and FC, I have to consider that first and foremost.

I can already see the "Oh, you guys are running Titan? Why didn't you invite me? " "Oh, sorry man, we made our group in TS, and you weren't there."
