Just wondering how big a percentage of forumgoers knows about, knows how to use and if applicable, first heard of:

Help channel?
Architect Chat channel?
Looking For Group channel?

Help?Yes
Architect Chat Channel?No
Looking For group Channel? No


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

I know about and have been using the first two from the day they started but this is the first I heard of a LFG channel.

I know about /hc and /ma, but I tend to avoid the help channel because it's highly dramatic and I can't stand the staggering amount of wrong information which passes for 'help' in there (at least in my server)

I know of the first two but never use Help because I rarely need the help.

I only have the AE channel set for one or two toons because I so rarely need that as well. It's nice to see some chatter by people I know here on the forums, but I rarely interact with them otherwise (for many reasons, not out of snobbery or anything like that), soo....

Some toons I don't have set up on any channels other than athe basics that you get when you first log him or her in. I just don't use channels much.

I'll admit I don't know too much about setting them up, but when I did want to, I was able to piece it together. It does seem to me the system's kind of non-intuitive.

I know about all of them, and I added LFG to my Broadcast tab (where Broadcast, Request and Help are) so I could keep an eye on it. However, I don't use Looking for Group or Architect channels. At all. Why would I? I'm never looking for a group and what the flying Dutchman am I even supposed to do with an Architect channel?

Help I keep an eye on in case someone asks a question I can answer or in case someone is being an *** to people asking legitimate questions. I try to provide what information I have to offer and that's about it. I've given up on trying to actually ask for information over Help, however, because no-one ever answers my questions there, and I have to resort to global channels or otherwise.

I may have been vaguely aware of help channel but I've never used it. I had no knowledge of the others.
