Chat Limit: How to Communicate Within It

/

DC Universe Online is an action combat massive multiplayer online game (MMO), and the two ways this MMO enables us to communicate with one another is through the Voice & Text Chat channels in-game, for those that tend to play without a microphone, there have been quite a few updates to text channel rules pertaining to the amount players can type and send to one another lately, especially as of Game Update 86 (GU86).
