When a player joins/leave a channel the text should be in grey (for palette 0 anyway), not yellow.
God knows why mmud decided to alternate between joining a channel and leaving a group.  Regardless, currently you've got:
     Ian2 just left your channel (10)
Should be:
     Ian2 just left your group (10)

The rest of the messages are right.
Still not happy about the leave command: should attempt to leave party first, then channel.  Should not attempt to leave gang at all.  But I've already reported this, it just annoyed me all over again :)
If we can hit that bulls-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards.? Check-mate!

Should just make the command syntax heavy:

If a player only types:
Leave

Respond:
Please be more specific the command "leave" can do the following functions:
Leave <cha> <channel>
Leave <par> <party>
Leave <gan> <gang>

I really don't like to assume things like this... and just drop them at a command they might not want... its just sloppy

And I kind of liked it in yellow...

Yeah, I'd agree with syntax heavy.  Also I don't really mind if it stays yellow, it does draw attention to ppl leaving/entering (which I hate missing, I'm gonna add them so they get logged in convo window).  Same goes for the messages.  I think it makes more sense to join/leave a channel than it does to join a channel leave a group.

Here are the messages we currently have:
    You just joined channel 10.
    You just left group 10.
    Ian2 just joined your channel (10)
    Ian2 just left your channel (10)


(yes, the coloring is like that).

Need to decide on a color and message scheme and stick with it.  As mentioned above, I'm happy with channel and yellow.
If we can hit that bulls-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards.? Check-mate!

Nod.... I do agree yellow is the way to go... make it stand out...
