Is it just me or did the lindens cut down the chat range from 50 to 20 meters without any warning or notice?
50 was already too small for certain places, like the disco and the amphitheaters, but obviously too big for those who live in tiny default cabins and prefabs.
So why not make chat range a plot-specific option like draw distance? You could default it to 20 and allow us to extend or reduce it according to the needs of our build.

As far as I know, chat range has always been 30m, whisper range 10m, and shout range 100m.

Of course, the new "Talk To" feature shrinks your chat range so only the people immediately around hear you. Specifically anybody in your "Talk To" circle.
