Chat
Albion Online has a global chat system with multiple channels that players may use and is moderated by Chat Moderators. When players enter the game on a new character, they will not be able to view chat until they have completed the Tutorial.
By selecting the yellow triangle in the top left of the chatbox, players will be able to do the following:
- Filter chat options
- Lock the chat window from making changes
- Auto-hide chat
- Show Timestamps (highly recommended)
- Show Channels (highly recommended)
- Create new tabs for Visible Channels
Tabs in the chatbox may be created by a player for any of the Visible Channels. There are two categories of Visible Channels which include Chat and System. The Visible Channel options include:
