Chat Channels

- Spoiler:
Greetings Defias Brotherhood,
When I first learned of the existence of chat channels, I was frankly completely mystified. I felt like I entered some sort of secret club, like I had finally penetrated the mysterious veil and entered the role playing community's secret backdoor rooms. I was, however, quickly disillusioned by the amount of mindless banter in these channels. While not bad per se, I had hoped that these channels were used to organize role play better and establish a sound medium for those without a guild and different guilds to communicate with each other. Especially with so many Altaholics around, the value of having a channel where you can ask if anyone of a particular roleplaying subcommunity is online is invaluable. This value recently hit me when I was informed by a Naaruvada member that she wanted to roleplay on her Draenei, but to her discontent there was no body to roleplay online. This was in fact false; there were several online, probably idling some place or doing quests on other characters.
I believe this is the true strength of chat channels like Eshroud and Kalimdor. If everybody of those respective communities were to join those channels on all of their alts, they would be able to adequately answer a call for role play to that community. It would be an eternal shame if we are all on different alts looking for roleplay and missing each other by poor communication because we happen to be on characters that belong to a different community and have no proper way to communicate with each other.
It is for that reason I have founded the Outland channel for those who seek Roleplay in Outland. I will ask of all of the Naaruvada members to join this chat channel. I will also highly encourage players that have Draenei characters to join it also. On all of their characters. This way, if a player wants to roleplay on one of his characters in Outland, he need only ask in the chat channel if there is anyone available with an Outland centric character and bam, there you have it, ready and available role play.
I still feel however that these chat channels are surrounded by an air of mystery. We do not have a concise list of channels here on the forums, for example, and I think many of us do not want to have such a list in fear of the channels flooding with people that have no business there. While I can understand that sentiment, I would still encourage people to advertise the presence of channels and propagate their use, so we can avoid scenarios where people who are looking for a certain niche role play are unable to find it due to poor communication. I therefore propose that those who agree with this sentiment to unveil their chat channels in this thread so that we can perhaps compile a list.
Let no call for roleplay, no matter how niche, go unanswered.

Kalimdor - A channel dedicated to roleplay in Kalimdor.
Light - A channel dedicated to Holy Light RP.
Eshroud - A channel dedicated to the Ebon Shroud, though often encompasses death knights of all flavors.
There's a couple of others that I'm in, but because I'm not sure on their level of privacy I won't divulge.

I will add Light to the list. And indeed, I ask anyone not to reveal any private channels. Respect the founder's integrity and intentions.

All are welcome in Eshroud really. It is meant for general DK chat and lore and we often talk of other Lore inside it.
I dont mind really as long as it is kept nice and not too off topic.

chatchannels are for idle chatting, considering they're ooc 
the same types of conversations go along there as in every /g.
meaning it ranges from the game to everything else...
idle chatter is the best type of chatter.

Ahaha. xD
Sometimes when I logged in and was assigned to the channel, it would be named HordERP.
I blame Koz myself.

Aye to add to what Geldar said, the channel has turned into a good place to find active SW guild / organisation leaders, though it is supposedly dedicated to council matters :p As far as I know there's no Stormwind channel, so if you need SW related matters, feel free to look here.

Would not be a bad idea to rename to "Chat channels" (or some like that) and sticky. Its really useful since it brings roleplayers together in a degree.
*waits for a "bloodthirsty moralist who care only about money" focused channel*
