On civCiv servers, chatcommonly ismodify managedhow by the '''CivChat2''' plugin ([https://github.com/CivMC/CivChat2 source]). Chatchat messages are notsent globaland by default,received. inIn contrast to most minecraftMinecraft servers.

This was originally intended to create a sense of local community among nearby nations and to restrict the flow of information. However, [[Devoted]] introduced the concept of a [[global group]], where chat messages are not restricted by distance. This global group has been included in every [[mainline]] server since Devoted.
 
Messages sent to [[NameLayer]] groups do not have any restriction on distance, and can be read by anybody in that group.
 
The mechanic of chat messages being readable only by nearby players is a staple of the Civ genre. First introduced in [[CivCraft]], this mechanic has been included in every mainline server since, as well as virtually every non-mainline server.
