Broadcasting System

Simple and very helpful, just an NPC or a Tab on the player screen that lets you type in a message that you would like to be broadcasted among other players, even if they are in their claim, or anywhere on the map. I think it should cost at least 10s to have a message broadcasted.

With how it would be used by the most "prominent" members of Salem society to exercise their "freedom of speech" privilege I think it would have to be at least 1000s per message. If we all have to suffer then at least it should be huge time sink.

Apart from it breaking the immersion, how do you think it would be used?

NO. I hate these things in other games. I've never seen a single useful message broadcast to the entire population. If you have a need to communicate with friends that you can't party with, make a town you can all join. You get a chat that spans the entire world.

What if they could only send 5 messages a day or something like that.
