Some civ servers have a Namelayer group for the sole purpose of providing a global chat. This group is usually called <code>!</code> or <code>g</code>. It is used to effectively bypass the local chat restrictions and send messages which are visible to anybody, regardless of distance.

In earlier civ servers such as [[Devoted]], this global chat group was entirely player-owned and managed, requiring players to join the group manually before being able to talk in it. Some later civ servers like [[CivClassic]] cemented the global chat group as a gameplay mechanic, automatically adding new players as members to the group and having the group be admin owned. However, not all civ servers will do this.
