Types of Chat Rooms
Kongregate chat is divided up into two types of rooms.
You can switch between the game chat and regular chat using the tabs at the top of the chat window. If you do not wish to see chat, you can select one of the other tabs above the chat window (for example, game information).
Regular Chat Rooms |
People who are playing all different kinds of games. All regular rooms have an expectation for what language(s) can be spoken in them; you will be automatically placed in a chat room based on the language setting of your internet browser. |
Multiplayer Game chat Rooms |
These rooms are named after the game (for example, SuperOssimRPG Room #01). All game chat rooms are any-language; most people speak English, but players are welcome to communicate with each other in any language they like. |
