global ooc

[kaos057]

with the recent influx of idiot shit talking children, can we please do away with global ooc? It's becoming more and more like wow barrens chat.

Maybe instead of global ooc there could be a global auction channel that is accessible in cities (I think thats how FV was?).

All of the civilized people left, enjoy your box

global ooc is complete shit & so unclassic
good bug report imo

[Technique]

Things like global ooc are what happen when the staff caves in to the whining of the most vocal forum warriors, bleating manbabies who're invariably clueless about what the server actually needs.

I remember when they caved in to "just launch it whatever".

Keep it classic.

[heartbrand]

I love the global auction idea from cities that broadcasts only to other cities

[SamwiseRed]

i finally caved in and started using the ignore function. probably missing out on some funnies but a+ improvement.

Global OOC is great and one of the best features of the server.

[Colgate]

global ooc best thing that ever happened to red99

[big league chew]

naw naw its shit

[big league chew]

global ooc less classic than compass
do the math

[big league chew]

maybe the rest of the potential playerbase hates the idea of unclassic global ooc too

[kaos057]

At least make /auction global too so we can turn off ooc and still see people selling stuff. Some people play the game to actually play a game. If I wanted to chat with kids I'd go to yahoo.

Global ooc needs to go to grow pop and if it removes cancerous players who only log on to troll at the same time then its a bonus effect

[Potus]

Global OOC makes the server less of a ghost town. Plus it helps support the server's anemic economy.

It's great.

Rose colored glasses obviously being worn in this thread. I remember the server before global ooc and it was a ghost town, I wouldn't interact with other plays for weeks at a time leveling up. I guess it's just because I'm more mature than some people that I can read the ooc and just roll my eyes as people embarrass themselves by acting like fools and move on without feeling like justice needs to be invoked. The tools are there for anyone who doesn't enjoy it to just remove it. Switch it to a window and minimize it off screen, or put people on ignore the choice is yours but removing it from the server is just detrimental.

Pre global ooc was guild <global ooc> and 30 player prime time

also pre global ooc was 800 pop on release, ur point?

Ignore Kimm, syft, Zimmerman and profit

[big league chew]

global slander channel

[mostbitter]

i was gonna respond to that but it is so rediculous

This sounds pretty good tbh. For the reasons people claim to need global ooc, finding it in or around towns is most likely. Also, giving people a reason to go back to town for auction keeps things lively?

But, I'd have it set the way maps used to be on pve.. cities, and zones adjacent to cities.

also pre global ooc was 800 pop on release

663 :P

Global ooc even w the negatives is half the reason people become passionate on red pvp server.

Even tho we have a small community with perceived hate for others we all know each other because of ooc.

Removing it would block all camaraderie. Ignores and chat filters are always available to those who opt out, just like mature language filtere.

this is a legit bug thread plz dont troll it

[heartbrand]

thinks nilbog hopefully you change it to that would go a long way towards making red a more mature server and enjoyable that has a shot @ attracting new players so they don't get bombarded with the stupidity of forumquest 24/7

Don't like hearing? Stab yourself in the ears. ? :P

Players should not need to disable a native feature of the game due to abuse of their peers. imo

nuke ooc shit is just 5 annoying trolls ranting at new players who ask questions and shit

[SamwiseRed]

i like the idea of global ooc only useable in cities.

[Faerie]

i like the idea of global ooc only useable in cities.

That's actually a wonderful idea. And since gfay is the biggest "city zone", it would probably do a bit to entice players to spend time there auctioning. I know I can't be the only one that misses gfay being an active trading zone, right? :)

[Slathar]

I just wish people would be more mature. It gets really old when people abuse OOC for their own masturbatory reasons.
