But now that I think about it, it could be done, but... it's hard to say how pratical it is. Remember, this is a game that millions play on. Global Channel is not (cannot possibly be?) one chat room channel. Otherwise your phone would almost explode from having just all of the English speaking people chatting at once, in one spot.
So really, to make this work well, you need to know what one of the many Global channels you'd be automatically directed to, and keep it consistent, so showing the logs of messages while off line for a short time actually makes sense. Otherwise, you may randomly switch, and so would the message history, leaving behind any past messages you recently made, and really confusing the poor newbies as to what is with the already weird chat channel.
