Oh great, so Around will become completely deserted as everyone will only play and invite people in their own channel and have their private RP where no-one is allowed to participate that does not fit the "member profile".

It is a thing of horror to me in the last few months to see that many newbes actively shun the Around channel and some don´t even know it exists.
Just yesterday I´ve been asked by a player two days in Game: "Around channel? What´s the around channel?"

I had asked her to please use the same channel as me, when talking to me. The "Around channel". For I was asking her something or other in Around and she replied in a /tell.
And that´s not the first time this happened to me.

It seems normal in many other games to communicate exclusively in /whisper i.e. /tell. And I think thats horrible.
It´s completely shutting out any chance of picking up on some casual RP or even having a normal conversation with two people at once.
For, as it happened yesterday as someone else came by and started to answer in /tell too, I had to re-type every single answer in two tells! Because both did not know how to use the Around channel, until I showed them how to! And both were wondering why it took me so long to answer their "RP". -.-

Please, ONE RP Channel is OK, but not thousands of different channels for everyone to have their private little party in.
