You have the ''all, guild,team,trade,alliance,wisper-chat'' cant a-net make a new chat a officer/guild leader chat for offies and ldr's only Sometimes you want to disscus something the members arn't suppose to hear. and when you wisper to all then its getting a bit confused. so my idea the officer/ldr only chat

(soz for my bad english )

If a leader and officers want to be incognito, pick any of the empty towns and go do your secrect meeting there. There're so many empty places that people just never bother to go to. Pick one and code name it "the dock".

Meeting at the dock ftw.

:S how you are saying it you can also make a party in de hall and discuss there. What I try to say is when you are officer in a guild and playing HA ans some other offie's are doing RA or AB and then discuss in the chat its much easier then go to a town....

There are many ways in Guild Wars to have 'secret meetings', however not all are very handy. An extra chat channel would solve this.

However, we can't randomly keep adding chat channels to the game. Where will it stop? I'd like to have a seperate chat channel for me and a select group of friends, maybe another channel for the trade of items within an alliance etc. etc.

I understand OP's problem, but there has to be a line where there can not be more chat channels.

Well you are saying a seccperatre chat for allince trade etc. but a-net could mabay make all these chat's and you can choose by yourself what chat you like and wich you dont and the ''officier chat'' was my plan so you dont need to do any secret meeting or make a party but yust do your thing and chat

Well at the rare times there is stuff the members aren't supposed to hear, I'm sure there can be made a rare exception where the alliance leaders or guild officers can come together in GH or town team and discuss it.
Or in my guilds case, set up a passworded channel in the teamspeak server and PM all invited the password with the note not to tell it to any1 who is not invited.

Now what would be good is a LF... channel, some place all the guild looking for members and the Wammo looking for PuG goes; which like the trade channel will auto move messages there and put you on LFT when it detects you are saying something on the lines of:
  • Looking for group(LFT/LFP)
  • Looking for guild(LFG)
  • Teamlooking for members (LFM)
  • Guild XYZ is recruiting
It would be far more useful, than something that only happens 1 time a year per guild at most. If it happens more often, than there is probably something wrong with your guild, needing all this secrecy.

And OOC is not an excuse for it, because if the guild/alliance chat is RP, there should be other should be OOC available to everyone.

Well my guild is also using ts and if we want to discuse somethign yeah we make a channel with password but I still dont think you guys understand me. I will give a sample:: you are with your guild in a HA batlle and your guild yust invited a new member and he is also in the party the rest of the team mates are officers:: and now you want to share your feeling about the new member ::: and tadaa there it is the officer chat

This is generally the best idea. +1

/signed because an extra channel would mean that officers can chat together anywhere i.e. UW/FoW etc.

I'd say you should start to plan instead of meeting at random times <_<;;;;; No need for an apart channel then, hmms?

So like, /notsigned - Because I don't want to tick off more annoying chat channels.

We've had this brought up before, haven't we? Oh well, it doesn't seem necessary. Party up and move into an instance or head into Beetletun; there's never anyone there.

Fishermna's Haven? That place looks crowded like a new year sale compared to Maguuma Stade.

Not a single soul there. Ever.

And then the people decided they didn't want it. Its not really necessary, is there ever anything that you REALLY need to discuss RIGHT NOW?

Instead of having chat channels like that, why not make it where someone can make a channel (Temporary of course, say when they log it goes away or they can delete it before then).

So like say I want to have a meeting with some friends A, B, and C, but C and myself are in Factions and A and B are new and only have Prophecies (They haven't left Pre yet either so they don't have access to our GH). There could be a button next to "Whisper" that says "Create/Join". I could create my channel "abcdef" and make the password "justatest". Then I could whisper everyone the channel name/password and they could join it and then it solves problems.

Of course, you could only join one channel at a time, but this would solve officer/leader problems and problems when friends want to talk together but can't because there isn't just a "Friends" channel.

Thats sort of what they do in EVE, you can create a private chat channel and then invite other to join it, sort of like an instant messenger eg MSN.

I don't think this is a big enough issue to adress in a way that would take so much effort, and distract Arenanet from things that really do need attention.
