Hello, I am the leader of multiple guilds and we want to make a chat channel to unite all of our guilds. However, we are concerned about the player limit. Are we going to tell everyone to join a custom chat channel just to find out some people won’t be able to join because it has a limit to how many players can join it? Also, can players from other realms or linked realms join our custom chat channel?
Wouldn’t it be better to create a community? Those I don’t think have a character cap, or it’s high if they do.
They are also not restricted to specific realms, though they may be faction-locked.

I’m not aware of the participant limit to channels, but:
- Individuals from linked realms can join
- Individuals from other realms cannot join
- You have no static control over channels. It’s very ad hoc.

Communities do have a player cap of 1000 battle.net accounts. Thank you for the info Amaelalin that is very helpful but I still need to know if there is a limit on chat channels.
I just did a quick Google search, and I came up with zilch, just speculation. I have a feeling that even if I tried a more in-depth search, I’d still come up with zilch.
I think that they may keep a ‘cap’ on these types of things, so abuse of these systems is limited. I could be wrong though.
As a past Officer in a multi-server guild (20ish guilds), aside from Discord, we found the Communities to be our best form of communication between all.
Thank you very much I think that’s productive speculation, but unfortunately the question of player limits in custom chat channels remains unanswered. I think you may be right, but if we implement this system I don’t want to leave anyone behind. I may decide to open a ticket if we can’t find out here.
ISTRC some issues with chat channel,ownership. It was something along the lines of it getting passed around passed around as owners logged off and picked up by people who don’t have the best interests of the channel in mind.
Sorry, what does this stand for?
I seem to recall…
Thank you, I’ve never seen it shorthand.
And back to the OP.
I’m not sure if it’s what you are looking for but there is an addon named GreenWall that’s meant for multi-guild chat consolidation. For example, my guild (CTR) is 10 sub guilds. The officers use Greenwall to condense all the separate sub guild chats into one. I’ve never seen it on the admin side (as far as configuring it), but on the user side it did a great job.
And it’s private just like an individual guild chat.
