Class called spy ?

Yes sometimes you do. I see people talking about where we are going to go next, and other things that belong in general chat being spoken about in realm chat....every single day it happens.

Don't misunderstand, i like having realm chat, and at the very least i think that there should be war chat in the warzone, or else hunters get to hunt with impunity, enemy movements dont get tracked as well and overall coordination is lesser. I was just trying to look at it from their point of view and see the reasons why they may have wanted to eliminate realm chat.

I played on Ra a few times on my old char and really missed it. At the very least, a WZ chat would really be helpful, especially during invasion periods.

But, dont' we have global realm chat back again? I still have the "Alsius" chat tab on my screen.....?

You do. Ra players don't.

Less spam from noobs makes war zone easier to communicate and with less clutter (on horus we still have people that dont know how to use general tab and want to try to conduct war business in Realm chat. Giving clans a more central role in things (from my perspective) seems to be the most important reason; it forces people to choose a clan (which i dont really like), but by so doing, almost forces you to use teamwork if you want to succeed in warzone.

I couldn't explain it myself better. Performance boost was one of the reasons, I understand that being first on the list could have been interpreted as the main reason but, and I'm correcting ourselves now, it wasn't.

Later on, a lot of users, such as yourself went on explaining to new users that "It was to reduce lag!" failing to mention the other two reasons (spaciousness, teamwork, clans, etc). Unfortunately, what has been perceived as the main reason, it was actually the less important one.

As for the Hunter role in the game, that really is a different subject altogether (that has been discussed already on the balance forum).

Global chat is not coming back but we have plans to improve communication channels in several ways in the future.

Also, I'm closing this thread since the initial topic was answered. The Spy class was planned but unfortunately never made it, I can't tell you if we won't ever put it back in but for now, the answer is no.

P.S.: I'm going to correct our announcement to avoid any more misunderstandings, once and for all.
