==Wormhole Local==

There is no automatic update to the ~~“local”~~ chat channel when in W-Space, so pilots in W-Space will not automatically appear in the local member list; pilot names appear only if they speak in local chat. This is unlike Empire space or 0.0 systems (outside the [[Nullsec Blackout]]). This means that there is no indication of who or how many other pilots are in the same W-Space system you are in. With a cloak, no one will even know you’re there. If you do type in local chat you will show up in the local member list as normal. It is not advisable to chat in local while in W-Space as it reveals your presence in the system.

Note that when you enter a wormhole, there is a visible brightening and a sound effect to indicate that the hole has been activated - so if someone is watching a wormhole, they will know that someone has jumped in.

This is unlike Empire space or lowsec and nullsec systems, in which Local is an up-to-date and accurate list of those present and a key information tool. This means that there is no indication of who or how many other pilots are in the same W-Space system you are in. If you are cloaked, no one will even know you’re there. If you do type in local chat, you will show up in the local member list as normal. It is not advisable to chat in local while in W-Space, as doing so reveals your presence in the system. These are the same Local mechanics as those used in [[Pochven]].

Note that when you enter a wormhole, there is a visible brightening and a sound effect to indicate that the hole has been activated, so if someone is watching a wormhole, they will know that someone has jumped in. A large and tightly-organized wormhole group will have cloaked characters sitting on-[[grid]] with each wormhole in their home system at all times.
