Let all newly made characters join the new player channel automaticly.
Would also be nice if a WM can specify 2 more channels that a player joins automaticly. The WM can then specify the local general/trade channel and the local dragon channel.

The dev's are well aware that new players dont know to go there for help unless told so, as per David's post here: http://community.istaria.com/Web/Sho...?PostID=118503
So I'm probably preaching to the converted.

Afterthought, even better would be increasing the number of chat tabs like in this mod.
Then there is plenty room to connect new characters to all important channel upon creation, general, dragon, group, etc.
