So, I got to throwing in a support ticket for this since it’s just ridiculous… Send 3 messages in map chat and your messages are suppressed.
Here’s what they said:
“Thanks for contacting us.
We received your update letting us know that you still are unable to chat in the game. We would like to provide you with information that will help you address this situation. You account’s chat privileges have been temporarily suspended and the timer on that suspension is in GAME time, not in real-time hours or days. Therefore, logging off or waiting until the next day to rejoin the game will not remove the suspension. The way to regain chat privileges is to enter the game and remain silent, allowing the chat suspension to run its course.
I understand you might want to periodically check to see if you are able to chat again, but those lines of chat may actually extend the suspension, so we advise keeping those to a minimum. If you have refrained from using in-game chat for several hours and you still are unable to converse in the game, please update this ticket and we will do some additional research. However, we believe that you will be able to chat within a modest amount of time.
Thanks very much for your cooperation and understanding."
