Local Chat

[Newbrict]

I made a post about this in the classic server, but it would be even better for the SMP server

"The chat box gets really annoying when there are too many people talking all at once. It's hard to read conversations that you are trying to follow since there is so much being said all the time.
Maybe you could implement a local chat so that you can only see player chat within a 75 block radius or so?
that would clear up the chat, and add a calmer, more pleasant feel to the server."

We do plan to add this in the future.

Really Nick?  So would this be forced upon every player or would ppl have the choice to choose local chat/global chat?  Would it also be possible to split ppl into groups to have private group conversations and things like that?

Well we are wrapped up in a few other things but right now the plan is everyone will start in a local channel and then can go to the global channel.

No. That just gets annoying as you can't talk to your friends.
I would prefer a system where everyone starts in global chat, but you can have a command to switch to local, which would have coloured text but only 100 blocks or whatever.

If you started in local, newbies would freak that nobody could hear them (Once they got a little away from spawn).

That would be really helpful. I have tried to have a talk with someone but nearly all the time the chat-bar is being spamed

I love the idea of having the option to do this.  Most of the time I'd want global to see what's going on, but when I'm running around with someone in a mine (or whatever), it would be great to switch to local.  Great idea.
