Greetings!
To bring Mists of Pandaria Classic chat channels and channel usage in line with other versions of World of Warcraft, we will soon be adding a chat channel entitled “Services” to MoP Classic. Players can enable the Services chat channel and use it specifically for advertising services such as portals and summons. Beginning with the addition of the Services channel, all such advertising must be posted to this channel, and player chat of these kinds placed in other public channels are subject to player reports and actions taken by Blizzard. For further information regarding in-game advertising and the use of these channels, please go here: https://us.support.blizzard.com/en/help/article/187406
- Developers’ note: The Trade channel that’s been in the game will continue to exist, but we wanted to add a new channel to direct messages about the request and advertisement of services like raiding, dungeons, or PvP activities. If you’re looking to buy or sell these kind of services, this is the channel for you! If you’re not interested in those, you can leave the channel and avoid the noise, or move it into its own chat tab. We believe that with this distinction, you’ll be able to use Trade chat for its traditional purposes of buying and selling items, seeking out profession services, and other non-disruptive chatter.
To join or leave the Services channel, players can type “/join Services” or “/leave Services”, or use the Channels UI by right clicking on the General chat tab, clicking Global Channels, and selecting from the available options.
- Developers’ note: Unlike the modern version of World of Warcraft which requires you to be in a capital city to join or leave this channel, you can join the Services channel from anywhere in the world in all versions of WoW Classic.
