Diablo – (How) can I create or join a custom chat channel

diablo-3

I'm fond of custom chat channels. I use them a lot in online games where people are often online, but not always playing together. As with most games, it appears that, the /join command works in D III, except for the fact that any of the channel names I try throw an error that the channel "doesn't exist." (I tested with some established names that I expected someone to have created. I also tried some alternate syntax like /join <channelname> with little success. The help displayed from the /? command provides the various channel join and quit commands, but none for creation. In other Blizzard games, trying to join a nonexistent channel created it automatically, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. How do I get into a chat?

Sadly, there's no way to create a custom chat channel in Diablo III and probably there will never be. Unless there's a big change, driven by players' rage, I don't think they're going to change their mind.
