What is Area Chat in Lost Ark?
Area chat is an in-game chat feature in Lost Ark that allows communication between players through onscreen text. Area Chat is one of many text chat options in Lost Ark.
Area Chat gives players the option to send text chats that will be visible to over players over the same channel within the game. For example, Area Chats sent in Yorn on Channel 1 will only be visible to other players currently roaming Yorn who are also on Channel 1 as well.
However, Area Chat’s coverage is only limited to whichever server you’re currently on. So if you’re under the US West region but in a different server to one of your friends, they will not be able to see your Area Chat.
