Since the most recent patch auto spawned sub channels are not populating for general chats. Once base General gets full you will not automatically populate to General1, for example. This is occurring on Firiona Vie. When you type /join general it will kick you out if the player count exceeds 400, if you have autojoin setup you will only join your local continent and class channel, and no longer General1, General2 etc.
Its on Tunare now also. Growing like the blob from the 50's No overflow general chat is spawning when main general is full, never got kicked out - it just does not show a secondary chat channel at all
Can't remember if they were trying to fix it, that can happen if someone hops on General1 first and sets a password.
