The fifth line was typed as-is.]]When sending a chat message to the local group (the default), only users within a certain radius of you will be able to see the message. This radius differs from server to server, but is generally around 1000 blocks. You can increase your range by sending messages from a high y level - again, the exact values depend on the server, but you generally get around 1 extra block of broadcasting range for every block you climb above y 100.
You can also switch your chat group from local chat to a Namelayer group with the <code>/g <group></code> command. Messages sent to a Namelayer group will be visible to anybody in that group with the read messages permission, regardless of how far away they are.
Line 15:
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 do this.
