You enter a typical SMP world. People are blaring away their insults at each other, organizing trades, maybe even starting wars. Secrecy, conspiracy, mystery can not and will not coexist with the rather open and loud interaction.
*KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS FEATURE IS TOGGLEABLE BY THE SERVER OWNER*
Now imagine Global Chat gone. No more open and friendly interaction. Instead there would be only my little brainchild: Local Chat.
This is a chat system where players have to be within 50 blocks of you to see what you typed in chat. It brings an air of mystery and loneliness to SMP, one that did not exist before. Any player you meet is either a new ally or a new enemy, there will not be a middle ground. You will meet players not very often, and when you do it could make or break you. Band together and create a town? Personally, that is what I would do. You would be able to have messengers and cartographers to set the world in your grasp, and you could eventually band together with other towns and create a nation.
Or you could become a thief, whatever floats your boat.
Not applicable on our SMP world though because we just use TeamSpeak. But it would be awesome for some game types. Ours is pretty much cooperative so there's no reason to hide.

Could you direct me to one please? I did some searches but came up with nothing.
