[NEED] Channel List with Amount of users connected

[ThEoNeTrUeAcE]

One of the frustrating things about the chat in this game is the regulation of chat for public facing channels. The reasoning for this is entirely understandable, but it is frustrating from time to time none the less. We are told multiple times a day to take our discussions to another global because they are a little out of bounds for a public facing channel. Those discussions might be grounded in politics, religion, current events, or other things for which 99% of users won't be offended, still they are probably not best seen by the youngest users who might have access to play the game. My suggestion is to provide a channel list for the global channels we can connect too, with a "Number of users connected" label to show other non-connected users that the active channels are indeed active. This will allow us to more easily start and maintain channels other than those in the public eye. Now let's talk about implementation. I'm sure we would all like to see a nice gui window, an extra chat panel, or something complicated to implement such as that, but it's not required. You really only need two things. The first you have, which is chat moderators to remind people other rooms are available, and the second is a new chat command which would output current channel info. When you type /help, directly under "Type /joinChat global-X (X = number)" you might add "Type /activeChannels (To see active global channels)". Then the output from that command could be..

[99:99] Help: Below is a list of active Global Channels
Global-1 (999 Users Connected)
Global-2 (1 Users Connected)
Global-3 (1 Users Connected)
Global-4 (1 Users Connected)
Global-20 (99 Users Connected)


I'd like to get other players' opinions on this, so feel free to comment!

Totally agree, a drop down menu from global1 showing that info would be good
