I think we used to be able to actually turn off the chat spam for effects and the like but can remember how.. getting tired of high level maxing spell effects by spamming things like minor shielding for hours on end (and this is over large area that we get to see "so and so" casts x.. sometimes YOU want to see these things BUT i really don't feel I need to see it ALL the time
Yeah I do that so I still have them if I ever need to look for something, I just make a window solely for it and just keep it minimized behind a current window.
maybe that is what we did .. sh well tyvm was just kind of hoping .. I guess it is better than it used to be when your chat would crash you like when we were all most all on dial up at speed up to a max off 56.6k (it wasn't THAT long ago was it??)
Yeah everything I have turned off isn't really off it's just put into it's own window and minimized in case I need to figure out who did what sometimes.
