What does this setting do?
With this on, only administrators and developers can write in global chat — everyone else reads along. It is the middle ground between an open chat and a disabled channel: announcements and server notices reach everyone without players chatting across the whole map.
Practical for servers that want immersion but do not want to give up an in-game announcement route.
Which value suits my server?
Relaxed PvE
Off.
Classic PvP
Off.
Hardcore
On. The channel stays usable as a loudspeaker.
What to watch out for
Only effective while global chat is enabled
With global chat switched off entirely, this setting does nothing.
