Global chat enabled again

Now make private channels for guilds, and allow servers to create channels through script that only specified accounts can be in.

There is no point in allowing scripts to create account locked channels.
If you want to make a staff only channel just use RC to chat.
If you want players to be able to make a channel for their friends they can already chat with friends only by using a guild tag and toguild:

Instead you should try to diversify it even more and merge all of the existing channels into just a General chat channel for all servers. And then maybe also make one other channel for Development help or something.

You need to think broader. Do you know how limited guilds are?

What if I want more than one chat?

What if it's not for staff?

This way servers can make channels for different things. Like in the new SoG, we could make Guilds, Teams (different than Guilds), whole server, etc.

And, one channel with 500+ players would get crazy, depending on how many people used it.

That's like logging into a random chatroom and wathing random ad bots constantly sending messages, except replace those messages with yo mamma and homophobic people making fun of the stuff they fear.
