Broadcasts are special purple or red (from Staff) chat messages that are sent to the Local tab of the Chat panel of all occupants in all properties of an entire world/domain. These messages are also sent to the top of everyone's screen as a floating message that slowly fades away.
Broadcast messages are often used for contests such as trivia etc. These are usually run by the owner of the domain or a team employed to do this. These contests are often events and usually announced in bulletins. It is impossible to see who sent the broadcast as it does not display a name.
It is also possible to receive red messages from the server or staff members such as server update messages or official event announcements. Unlike normal broadcasts, this type of message is globally sent to everyone no matter where they are. These messages appear in red text instead of purple broadcasts made by users.
Specific domain rules are required to allow broadcasts to be sent.
