I never … I mean never … get any useful info from the Broadcast channel. Local, Team, Tell, Friends, Supergroup … all of those are useful. But all Broadcast seems to be good for is “Sumbody PL Lvl 10 Blster to 20 plz? 50K infl!” sorts of things.
I ran across across a reference in passing to turning the Broadcast channel off, but I can’t actually find a command for doing it (and, for obvious reasons, don’t want to do a “/broadcast off” or “/broadcast 0” without knowing that’s the actual command). The one additional reference I found said it was “incredibly simple,” so they didn’t mention it.
Okay, call me incredibly simple, too, but … any clues?
It’s not that I find the Broadcast channel offensive or irksome in and of itself, but any of the useful (usually Local or Friend or Tell) messages in the default window end up scrolling off too fast because of the idle chatter.

Heya Dave, all of your communication tabs can be edited. Just right click on the tab, choose edit and you can add/remove what ever channels you want to. You can also delete tabs and make your own custom ones. I generally have one set up for Team/SG/Local and that’s about the only one I check regularly.
I knew you could make new tabs, but I hadn’t thought about “editing” the general one. I’ll give that a try.
Yup, sure worked. Nice. Thanks.
That’ll be a dollar…:)
Actually, it is useful sometimes. It is a good way to find out when certain monsters are appearing. I have fought Lusca and the Paladin several times by monitoring the Broadcast channel. Of course, I have a tab just for monitoring the Broadcast/Local/Request lines.
I also like occasionally offering support for newbies just starting to play the game. Where can I go to level in (insert zone here)? How do I get a 2nd costume? Etc…
Yeah, it probably makes sense to keep the Broadcast channel somewhere. Just needs to be a little less obtrusive/visible.
