Actually, if the party is split into two, it is [red]a rather common practice[/red] for both of the groups to set to the normal "talk" mode instead.
Really? I have very rarely seen that happen. I must be going on all the wrong quests...

Edit: Y'know, my posts have been misread before, so I want to be clear that this is NOT AT ALL some sort of sarcastic remark. I will truly be amazed if switching back to the Talk channel in a split party is common practice. It seems the exact opposite in my experience.
Weeblie is talking about when a party is split into two for lag/performance reasons not IC reasons. If they're split for OOC lag reasons and they're really right next to each other they should be talking on talk so they can all hear each other.

If they're split for IC reasons on a quest or something and they aren't physically proximate, then of course there's no reason for the request to stick to the talk channel.

I think what is a bit inaccurate is the implication that this is a common occurance. What weeblie was talking about happens only rarely.
