Editing Chat Interface (section)

===Joining and Leaving a Global Channel===
All global channels can be joined and/or left in one of two ways:

Through a checkbox in the Character Settings tab of the Options UI Panel. Note that this change takes effect as soon as the checkbox is used; the Apply button does not need to be pressed before this change takes effect.

Through a text command:

* /join [channel name]
* /leave [channel name]

The text command is just a shortcut to the UI checkbox, and it sets the checkbox as appropriate. The player will see a confirmation message (the society channel does not have a confirmation message) in their chat area when they have entered or left a channel using either text commands or the interface checkboxes:

For example ''/join general'' will result in the following text message appearing:
:<font color=green>You have entered the General channel.</font>

And typing ''/leave general'' will result in the following message:
:<font color=green>You have left the General channel.</font>
See the Global Chat Channel Summary above for channel names and tags.

Players are automatically joined to any channels that they have checked when they login, and they will also see the join messages on login.
