How It Works

Global Chat uses Ably, a real-time messaging platform, to create dedicated channels for each world:

World Channel: w:[world-number]

All public chat messages are broadcast to players in your world

When you send a public chat message, it's published to your world channel and received by all plugin users in that world. The system is designed to be privacy-focused - no IP addresses or identifying information is shared, only your message content and RuneScape username.
