WC::Broadcast(WC::MessageChannel::Trade,
              "Auction House weekend has begun.");

WC::Broadcast(WC::MessageChannel::Group,
              "Dungeon Bonus Event is active.");

WC::SendToPlayer(player,
                 WC::MessageChannel::Announcement,
                 "Your companion has gained a level.");

WC::SendToFaction(TEAM_HORDE,
                  WC::MessageChannel::Announcement,
                  "Wintergrasp begins in 10 minutes.");

Why Enhanced World Chat?

Enhanced World Chat was designed with two goals:

• Feel like Blizzard built it.
• Be easy for server owners to configure.

Rather than simply forwarding chat messages, it provides a complete communication framework that other AzerothCore modules can use through its public API.
