Close OOC

[Gustoo]

I started a level 1 character just to mess around.

OOC made server look like a joke.

[runlvlzero]

I voted close it. It will look like a ghost town. But people can make friends rather than instant enemies in /ooc

[Potus]

Server is insanely boring without OOC.

[heals4reals]

U must not have played pre ooc.

Keep.

[runlvlzero]

Potus PST with Niem in game we can talk if they take away OOC

[Stasis01]

Even though OOC is toxic and shit - it's the only community red99 has, take away that it literally has none. Removing OOC is a terrible idea.

you can turn off badword filter and /ignore any player, if there saying shit that bothers you it's your own damned fault!

To be honest if ooc got you that worked up, you were just a ragequit waiting to happen. One day of CCing which I see Nihilum do daily would have been your last day on server anyways.

Red is not for the feint of heart!

[heartbrand]

Look at the people in support of ooc and its easy to see why removing it is step one to helping foster a real community here. Go with global auction in cities instead.

Your idea of a "Community" on this server is 50 Nihilum and no one else.

Because of OOC I actually start collecting words/runes for other people who need them. Global city chat wouldn't work the same way because I'm in a city only to bank and then gate.

[heartbrand]

Put in a bazaar then, I've always thought bazaar with only level one pvp protection would do wonders to help the pop on this server. Will never happen tho. A jew can always dream.

[Stinkum]

If you don't like OOC, you can turn it off or use /ignore.

Pretty simple stuff.

[heals4reals]

Only nihilum and their sympathizers oppose it cus they can guildchat w 75% of pop alrdy

Drumroll amirite

[Loli Pops]

Posting in a faggot thread.

[Woopoo]

Take away OOC and the people will starve.

[Gustoo]

It is impossible to find gear on red99.

5 man OOC community not worth saving.

Noobs are worth keeping.

Global Auction channel in city zones kinda cool idea I guess.

Don't think we should change the server because you and friends can't handle being flamed in ooc. This is the community here, if it's not the right fit for you than you most likely would have found another reason to quit at some point.

Censorship is always a bad thing.

[heartbrand]

Ya this same "community" that has turned off hundreds of blue players. They aren't leaving because nihilum is using trak teeth in pvp or because resists aren't workings. They're leaving because they log into a ghost town where the only thing they see in their chat window is a constant spam of "u mad" "lol fag" etc. 24/7.

You really think ooc turned off the blue community LMFAO your serious too! Blue's don't want to play on Red that's why it's red get over that dream, pvp turned them off.

This community didn't start with a 1000 blues it started with 1000 oldschool red players from Rallos/Sullon/Vallon and Tallon. and it was the poorly coded resist system that turned them off, NOTHING ELSE those servers were a daily flame war with much more hostile conditions.

[Loli Pops]

U mad? Lol fag

[Gustoo]

Syft, your flaming is the only censorship the server sees.

My friends don't get flamed in OOC, neither do I (but you can start!)

I played before global OOC. I leveled peacefully around the shire and I never had to glance up to see someone trying to get attention by talking about the most rancid pornography they could think of.

Most people aren't going to put their head in the sand. Most people are going to start the server, see disgusting spam, and then go play blue or hi-rez redo of baldours gate on steam or something.

I'm not proposing this for my own personal benefit, except in the sense that I benefit by being a part of a more healthy server.

[Bogart]

Hiding the community because your embarrassed of it in the hopes that some people will stay as long as they don't get to know the other players is retarded. Eventually they'll meet and talk to the jackasses in OOC. It's a PvP MMO ever played one before?

[Gustoo]

Heart brand is right. Noob in any place outside of the gfay/unrest/crushbone literally sees nothing except bad stuff in the OOC. Its a huge turn off. I interview noobs all the time.

[Gustoo]

I'm not trying to hide the community. The community is there, but the level 50ish losers who can't get YT and then get mad in OOC about it will probably get their account banned or /quit the game before a level 1 will get to level 50 under normal circumstances. There is no reason to have a global channel for 5 or 6 guys to try to impress eachother in, meanwhile everyone else left.

What your saying is utter crap because you can ignore anyone in ooc and there gone for good

Life on red is brutal and harsh and player's aren't nice! Your trying to make a red server like a blue one, that's really what your attempting to do here!

Trying to make it a cooperative friendly environment for all, and that is just not what a FFA server is about!

Your seriously gonna tell me that a player could handle getting killed over and over again in pvp. Watching the AC be stolen from them watching someone kill hasten after the ring was turned in on MQ just by a bored guy for kicks, but they can't handle hearing fag and you mad? lmfao I'm not buyen it!

I'm Ranked in the top ten and I'm very LOUD in ooc so there goes that theory as well!

And I wont get banned because I follow the three rules of OOC

1. I don't do personal RL attacks
2. I don't spam

And last and most importantly

3. Everything I say is funny and entertaining

[Bidin]

My friends don't get flamed in OOC, neither do I (but you can start!)

I guess we arent friends then Gustoo....

[Potus]

Blaming OOC for why this server is dead is like walking into a room full of criminals, walking past all the murderers, rapists, drugdealers, and grabbing the bad checkwriter and being like, 'You, you're the reason we can't have nice things!'

[El_Zorro]

system message upon login reminding folks about /ignore

[Gustoo]

Yeah Syft, by the time someone gets to AC they will be willing to stick with the server even if some dirtbag steals their Jboots.

When a new player walks into the server, sees zero people in all qeynos zones, zero people in qeynos hills, and people talking about gay sex and how horriballs it is that Nihilum beats them, they will go to blue where everything seems o.k.

Bidin, I dunno who your toons are, but if you think you're my friend, you probably are.

Even though I think Syft is wrong on all points, and not funny at all most of the time, I would still rez and buff him if he was willing to accept my help. I'm a cleric, not a wizzie. My God, bristlebane is a giver of life and glee not a dealer of wrath. Maybe if I followed Mithaniel Marr or the Tribunal or something I'd feel differently but thats just now how I do it.

[Gustoo]

No one wants to /ignore a player. one of 100 players? Thats 1% of the entire population. That same person who is a full retard in OOC is a pretty normal guy in a group. Its just that OOC really does represent the whole server to the lowbies that join (even though a small minority is most vocal there)

It makes it worse that because of OOC spammers, level 1's can't even speak up, they just have to watch and be appalled while being all alone in their noob zone.

Jesus shut up your playing on the wrong fucking server anyone who read that knows it's the truth, go play wow. I don't want to silence the entire server that I hear and find things to break up my boring grind amusing because of your religious beliefs(and that's what this really comes down to). You want everyone to think and act like you do and instead of you /ignoring it you'd make everyone be silent just so you can't hear poopy words.

Your roleplaying on a FFA server /facepalm

P.S. I have never asked for a REZ never will the only thing you have that I want is your YT!

Welcome to Red99

[Gustoo]

I think the fact that I love playing on red99 indicates that I'm playing on the right server. I roleplay for fun. I'm listening to Enya's orinoco flow right now to get in the mood.

In another thread you're asking for a non classic item nerf, and then your thread devolves into you complaining about how unfair it is that one guild is willing to play so long and so hard, essentially asking GM's to take away their pixels because you can't get them. You don't really have a leg to stand on here.

I really just want the server to be a close to classic EQ as possible, and in classic EQ when people wanted to make someone mad across zone lines they would send them tells instead of spamming the whole server population.

The only real argument in favor of OOC is auctioning items, and hardly any BST takes place in OOC so it is a moot point.

Everyone of my items came from ooc EVERY FUCKING ONE! if you limited it to towns I'd be butt naked as would the majority of other players.

So I should be butt naked because you can't handle naughty words and jeers in ooc omfg I think your honestly retarded!

You took a poll it's more than 2 for 1 in favor of OOC your in the minority here and still insist it would increase pop which there is literally zero evidence for! Well the pop has spoken they don't agree with you so stop posting about ooc you lost this battle everytime and still post this crap.

Your using classic argument as a smokescreen to push your religious propaganda, you didn't need ooc on live because there were 2000 active players at any given time and often 200 players per zone shouting more evil shit then you see in ooc at any given moment! And that's a fact and you obviously never played any pvp server on classic because you wouldn't be saying ANY of this if you had.

If what your saying was true then wow would have never been the number 1 game because Barrens chat was a worse cesspool than our ooc, and yet it was usually the first chat anyone saw and the evil team was still the most played.

[Gustoo]

We are recruiting from old time EQ players not so much wow guys like yourself who love OOC spam.

I got my stuff from OOC too, but if it wasn't there we woulda just had to develop an auction zone like a real server does.

Its cool man. I think removing OOC is a good idea, you don't have to.

[El_Zorro]

replace EQ audio files with Orinoco Flow
ooc participants instantly more chill and subject to the movements of celestial bodies

So your going to ignore every logical point I make and just say ooc is bad lol mkay

Can't argue with stupid

[heartbrand]

Live zone wide chat channels were never as bad as they are here. You even dropped an f bomb back in 1999 in a place like east commons and guides / GMs were on your ass, filter or not.

[Silikten]

If you don't like OOC, you can turn it off or use /ignore.

Pretty simple stuff.

[Gustoo]

HB is right about live channels. People actually got banned when someone /reported them. "REPORTED!" literally got you in trouble haha

Also people got namechanged all the time. lol

Whether or not you turn it off, noobs use OOC to size up server.

[Malevz]

Ooc chases people away from the server, but without a zone like EC (tunnel) to trade and get ports from and such, it would just hurt the server.

[Syft]

I'm the kind of person that nothing you say offends me, Slathar and Kimm often crack me up.

On live curse words were alil more serious because children could be playing, but were all adults here.

On live no one was ever banned for foul language, it was a suspension offense at worst(unless it was racial slurs). Trust me I was prolly the worst offender of all time and I'm very familiar with live punishments for chat offenses.

On a server with low pop and zones with few people ooc is needed to communicate and make sales. It would be much better for the server if we didn't bog down GM's with silly ooc nonsense and let them deal with truly important issues.

As an adult you should have learned that words only have power if you give them power and becoming offended by someone you could simply /ignore is a true sign of immaturity.

[Agatha]

you guys got to keep in mind, that cursing on live was punishable because there was legit 8 year olds playing back then, i think the youngest person here playing is cwall at like 20 or something like tht, the majority of us in our late 20s to late 30s.

Honestly if ooc is what causes u not to play here, you probably arn't red material.

And I don't remember you caring about ooc when northwest was saying my 3yr old performed sex acts and you and mendan and renian just spammed deadbeat dad in ooc

[mtb tripper]

divided by hooplapla

[Smedy]

oh good god, logging on eurotime on red99 without OOC these days, that shit would have been more dead then michael jacksons nose

seriously, newbies should thank ooc, if they don't like what they see, they quit. Instead of working their way up to 15-25 and get griefed and quit. Atleast they get a warning for whats to come.

The glory days of nerds in shining armor kneeling and hailing is over, this is the internets, everyone is a fucking douche

[visage]

You know how much arm twisting it took to get global ooc. It is capped at level 10. You have an ignore feature and option to turn ooc off on your own. We are under 200 pop. Ooc non global would Kill the servers community. It is so tiny as is. I get nearly 75% can just /guild chat in nihilum, but for the rest of us , well we can't. This is the dumbest poll and should be considered offensive

[visage]

Ya this same "community" that has turned off hundreds of blue players. They aren't leaving because nihilum is using trak teeth in pvp or because resists aren't workings. They're leaving because they log into a ghost town where the only thing they see in their chat window is a constant spam of "u mad" "lol fag" etc. 24/7.

Oh really? Show me someone who left because ooc is so offensive??? You're a retard and your constant trolling and level of ego in game is disgusting. Do us all a favor and censor yourself off forums. You're more toxic on these forums than anyone in Ooc Heartbrand.

[Bogart]

Ignoring the culture shock of OOC Imagine being a new char and trying to trade, find groups, ports, or anything without OOC. Which is more important, Temporary assumption that their aren't weirdo trolls on red99, or the ability to get groups, trade, and have some community interaction.

[HippoNipple]

People against ooc are a joke. It makes no sense at all. If you don't want to be a part of it you can turn it off. The reason the people don't turn it off is because they would feel like they are missing out on something. Well if you take it out completely we are all missing out on something.

[Swish]

Trading is a lot easier with the ooc, and there is entertainment to be had there too.

If you can't handle the ooc, you probably can't handle being PK'd and shouldn't be playing.

[Stinkum]

You can't expect anyone to believe that OOC "turns new players off the server" without any proof, just because you said so on a forum post.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j80kbLow6z0/UcRxb-inqSI/AAAAAAAAJ8Q/2OYK0ZiRg48/s640/Yeah-well-thats-just-like-your-opinion-man.jpg

Unless you expect us to forget how the server was a barren deadzone for years long before OOC was ever put in?

[big league chew]

if they closed ooc id find other ways to discuss the lethal weapon series with my pals

[Gustoo]

Man if people were discussing lethal weapon and its inferior brother die hard all the time ooc would become a well known place of discussion cited in highschool English papers and stuff.

[Cid]

I don't want global ooc to be removed but for god's sake can you 12 assholes that spam it up with constant arguments about who is tougher in real life try getting a real life?

It's not everyone, it's the same people everyday. You can bitch at each other in tells quite easily but no, you have to do it publicly so you can boost your egos or try to get other people on your side. It's fucking sad.

Trying to deny that is a joke, but I'm sure someone will. If you were really the pvpers and the badasses you believe yourself to be you wouldn't say a damn thing or you would do it in tells. Instead you act like little kids trying to gain the approval of the other little kids by making your personal arguments public.

I like global ooc, without it I would not be able to help nearly as many people or see items selling that I might want, but the small percentage of the server that is only concerned with proving they have the biggest digital dick get old. You never say anything new, it's always the same tired shit over and over. Grow up.

Arguing in OOC in 100% about ego and vanity. If you don't have a self-esteem or self-image problem, you are more than likely using tells.

[Bogart]

You never say anything new, it's always the same tired shit over and over. Grow up.

2nd'd. I've played every decent PVP mmo I can get my hands on but this server has some of the lamest flame wars I've ever seen. Wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't already been on repeat since the first day I got back. It's only been two weeks and they're tired as shit already.

[heals4reals]

Who argues in ooc all I see is people loling about a yt or asking tune what his /played is

[Nyrod]

most everyone here has a pretty good point on all ends.

we do need more than just zonewide OOC.

i do think having a more limited OOC would change how some things are done in our community instead of just having a blanket OOC/AUC to every zone in game.

maybe have a kunark / antonica / faydwer, odus specific OOC?

or newbie zone across game / high lvl dungeon / all other zone

or /auc only works in cities and goes to all cities (would be sick if you could prevent item linking to only /auc)

or OOC is only zonewide or continent specific and just have Global Chat Channel 1 for whoever wants to let their flame wars be public

just thought would be better to suggest different ideas instead of remove/keep and everyone spewing YES! NO! UR FKN RETRDED!

in the end dont think they are going to change it but i play on necro hours/euro times even though its a ghost town the only people talking are the usual asshats flaming each other. true story
