How City-Link works

The new changes to Global OOC are fairly simple to understand. If you are in a city, you will be able to read and write what other people in cities are saying. When you are outside a city, your /OOC messages will be grouped by zone. Similar zones have been linked together, so that you can communicate with a much larger area than you would be able to if /OOC was simply in your zone only.

The following maps detail exactly which zones are linked. Please keep in mind that zones are only grouped when they are touching/near each other, with the exception of cities which are colored in Red (these are all linked). For example, even though the Lavastorm/SoldungA/B/Temple zones are colored in light blue, those zones will not share an /OOC with the Feerrott/Innothule/Guk/Cazic Temple grouping.

For those who find a list easier to read, click "Show Spoiler" to see a full listing of zones by their area grouping:

*Note: 0 = No shared OOC. Zones in the 0 area do not share their OOC with anyone else*

Thanks for your work but tbh a (way) easier fix would have been:

or even easier, ooc to the zone you're currently in
you know, like classic

To be perfectly honest with the community, this is actually what we would prefer.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) we recognize the need for some kind of global communication on a low population server.

I like the idea of city-wide only, forces players to show up there in a sense. G-fay where many lowbies start, could run into 50+ doing trades and get some buffs / starter plat, I really like the idea.

Well it is not working at the moment it seems. I think we can all withhold judgement till it is fixed.

If city ooc is city to city only, a server-wide auction channel would be nice.

i do see how this can fix some toxicity. when 2 guilds are on opposite sides of a zoneline, then they can shit talk and not have the whole world hear it. and when one guild wipes the other, then they'd have to resort to sending tells in order to gloat

1 suggestion:

allow cities to also communicate with the adjacent zone. so if you're in Grobb, then you could (in addition to the other cities) communicate with people in the swamp.

I was able to grind all day yesterday and didn't have to listen to one qq msg in OOC and instead was able to chat with several people locally and hang out. Success. Pras. The trolls can go back to the RNF where they belong.

I'm not sure this is working correctly. Currently in Frontier Mountains and I can read OOC messages from Greater Faydark.

Can you add a Christian Mingle integration instead?

I'm trying to find goups. Now I will have to reference these two maps whenever attempting to use OOC...

I can tell a lot of thought was put into these changes but please consider the community feedback. The server is still sub 200 so making changes like this which cuts off communication lines will ultimately make it difficult for groups to find each other.

Well you could just do a /who all (class). Seems to work pretty well on blue where there is no global ooc of any kind.

Hard to do when everyone is /anon. I do think a /lfg feature that allows for class and lvl but not zone to be seen would be useful.

form groups via forums if it's not working out

Cman. Out of 200 people it wouldn't take that long to ask if anons wanted to group with whatever level you are, and if they are too high then they will tell you.

another suggestion: keep ooc global only for people under level 50. give them the ability to communicate and get ports/groups going. really need this, as the leveling areas are spread far apart. so if you can't get a group in CoM, maybe there is one in solB that needs you..
