Need to end the server wide channel. People asking for ports is probably less than 10% of the garbage posted. Auction stuff? Most of the stuff I see is so expensive, they would get better sales putting in guild chat.

Ending the server wide channel would end most of the constant trash talk, which is vile at times.

Nuff said.

I know there is a client side solution. I am simply addressing that most new players see the /ooc as a pure negative to the server.

I agree. OOC has runned off more blue players than twinks. Even though you can ignore it most people just knowing it's there and it is a problem. I am sure if global was off you would see an influx of some blues. Would also bring variance and unique players to the server. You don't want guys old players back. Even if pop got to 300 and I'd play I. Two weeks of playing I would move on. Old players definitely need a new start to grab attention.

Now, is time to cater to the blues that have endless hours spent on pixelation quest and have nothing to show for. You do that before removing ooc and having an ingame player protection policy. The players in game therefore create lower level guilds to assist new players and you catch a guild0r on a twink camping newbs you disband them.

Just to recap removing ooc therefore early in game interaction with dribble and shit talk. Will keep new players vested past 0-10. Second the players in game must see this opportunity to play sides and help new players grow. Finally any old player that comes back will quit cause shit ain't fresh.

Duvain
02-22-2018, 10:32 AM
I disagree. I liked the global ooc when I was new, and I still like it. Not everyone gets triggered by trash talk. It also makes it easier to find groups and a guild if you're new and don't know anyone since the population is so low.

How do you know most new players see it as a negative? Did you take a poll? Do you send them a tell to ask them how they feel about it when you see a new name on the server? Or are you just generalizing?

Also, how would people sell anything on red? It's not like we can sit in the EC tunnel. If trade had its own channel, it would just turn into ooc.

All of this is moot anyways, nothing is going to change.

This is the typical "I don't like something so nobody can like it" post. My guess is that ignight is a low T hillary or Bernie supporter. Turn it off or go back to blue if you don't like it. Your +1 to the server doesn't matter when compared to how useful global ooc is to people that wouldn't know of other people's existence zones away.

That's where you're wrong kiddo. Your post is a typical low t beta cuck safe space request. You can use the /ignore command or filter ooc entirely. What you're requesting is to shut something down for everyone because you personally can't be bothered by an extra two steps.

Removing ooc will not cause a single red lifer to leave. It will increase pop. More blues have left from agatha drugged out nonsense than pvp. These people are fully aware of hiding ooc but the fact that it's there is a problem. Removing ooc will do nothing but benefit pop.

I would say a properly staffed support will benefit. 'toxiic' speach in a public channel? Instant bounce. Repeat offender? Ban.

I remember when ooc was made server wide and it helped in a huge way. The fact it was hijacked was a failure of staff. There were plenty of people willing to volunteer and their offers were rejected or ignored and then staff would say we don't have the staff available to handle these issues in a timely fashion.

I played for two years never going anon. 50 cleric and 45 druid. I like PvP and getting ganked by deleveled epic twinks. Fetish? Maybe. I found it motivating and exciting for every time I got killed in an uneven contest I got away 20 times without plugging. I definitely learned why people preferred to be anon. I never met one other person that was not anon.

I can understand a desire to disable anon to encourage PvP but it's not the answer to a 'toxic' chat channel. I believe the answer to that is in community.

Seems like kicking the can down the road.

If the blue players can't handle chatter from a dozen zones away, how on earth are they going to tolerate grouping and guilding with those people? Imagine when the trash talkers are in range and can exert their will through pvp.

Love server-wide OOC. When I started playing last summer and didn’t know anybody it was the only sign I had that there was even anyone else on the server. Honestly I might not have stuck around without it. I used it to find groups, and pounce whenever I saw someone auction newbie gear. As far as the trash talk I guess I don’t mind it. Sometimes good for a laugh during down time and adds some personality to our bizarre little community.

OOC is the lifeblood of any eq pvp server. That's the only way to get to know the people on this server. Removing it will cause new players to be even more isolated. Imagine a newbie leveling up, in complete silence then they go to a new zone to level like HHP/HHK/COM/etc. Only to find the zone completely empty. That would make me want to stop playing on this server.

Ooc was never that funny I mean on occasion you had slathar rip a couple of good ones. Agatha is annoying as fuck plus drugs and dumb. For the most part it is jizz talk which was funny when I originally played eq in 99 and I remember a lot of "pras." Which at first was a lingo but then it was just like 10 people droning on a pras for naked kill. Most people who want ooc are not casuals. They play 20 hours a day so basically that's their community. I wish ooc and yellow text never happened. I wish pvp deaths would make you lose exp and I wish the I couldn't level an untwinked wiz on this server to 20 in 12-18 hours.

No global ooc means people are forced to gather. If people were forced to gather, he'd just travel to and ask in the appropriate zone.

2) All trading happened using the forums and was done at mutually agreed locations. There has never been a trading hub on this server. Many people have banking alts in NFP but it has never been a location where people simply gather to auction off wares.

You're arguing that the live servers during the classic era weren't classic? You're welcome to use your own self-defined phrases, but it seems dishonest to try and hold me to them. It's obvious what I meant.

Also, unless you can actually quote me some concurrent player numbers from a PVP server during the era, I'm not inclined to accept the second assertion. Even if I were, low population numbers aren't a good reason not to implement changes aimed at improving population numbers?

IIRC, EQ press release claimed a peak of ~95k concurrent players during Velious across, what? 47 servers? That's an average of ~2k per server. 2k is roughly the same as peaks on blue (certainly not 30-50x). Moreover, there was similarly a population skew between PVE/PVP servers on Live (thus the Zek merge). Unless you can provide some supplemental information, your assertion seems misguided.

The average non raid time population [which is when "gathering" would occur] is around 50-70 players. There were 13 servers upon launch of EverQuest in 1999. That would be around 7,307 players per server. However, PvP had a smaller playerbase. A healthy guesstimate is Rallos Zek had around 2000 concurrent pop. That would put the current Red 99 pop size at around 1/30th of the pop size of classic Rallos Zek.

Also not sure what any of this has to do with any point of my response, which is that even when this server had a larger pop upon release with far less zones there was no gathering or mingling of any kind.

Also not sure what any of this has to do with any point of my response, which is that even when this server had a larger pop upon release with far less zones there was no gathering or mingling of any kind.

I was there in 1999. 95% of you were not and are just talking out of your ass. The population numbers were not hidden from the server select list at launch in 1999, that was a later change. The number was visible on the sever select screen.

I can testify Rallos Zek had a concurrent population of around 1,700 - 2,000 players at all times up until about Velious with launch peaks of 2.5k-3k. Velious launch pre-Luclin marked a steep decline in population for the main PvP server.

VZ/TZ had a similar rollout to Rallos numbers, 1,500 concurrent. VZ/TZ servers were created because Rallos was breaking 3k players on weekends concurrent consistently. SOE decided the market was there for more PvP. VZ/TZ were not launch PvP servers and did not exist in 1999.

Sullon Zek never had more than 1k at launch and subsequently fell to 300 within 2 years. As Sirken said, it was a failure from the word go.

The average non raid time population [which is when "gathering" would occur] is around 50-70 players. There were 13 servers upon launch of EverQuest in 1999. That would be around 7,307 players per server. However, PvP had a smaller playerbase. A healthy guesstimate is Rallos Zek had around 2000 concurrent pop. That would put the current Red 99 pop size at around 1/30th of the pop size of classic Rallos Zek.

It makes me sad when people jump all over the place to try and justify a number they made up on a whim.

1. You can't compare off-hour numbers for P99 to peak(note: not average daily peak, peak for the entire expansion) hours on classic Live
2. You can't divide the peak numbers during Velious by the number of servers years earlier on launch (I count at least 43 servers during Velious based on http://www.zlizeq.com/Game_Information-Servers_and_Versions)
3. Your "healthy guesstimate" population ratio appears to be a completely arbitrary addition to make your math work

The population numbers were not hidden from the server select list at launch in 1999, that was a later change.

Population was indicated with ("high"/"medium"/"low" during Velious). You can verify this by looking at era-appropriate server select screenshots or by reading the mountain of forum posts blindly speculating about concurrent players numbers instead of just adding them up. I have to assume the rest of your anecdotal observations are similarly unreliable.

You're arguing that the live servers during the classic era weren't classic? You're welcome to use your own self-defined phrases, but it seems dishonest to try and hold me to them. It's obvious what I meant.

Also, unless you can actually quote me some concurrent player numbers from a PVP server during the era, I'm not inclined to accept the second assertion. Even if I were, low population numbers aren't a good reason not to implement changes aimed at improving population numbers?

You needed new coke in order for coca cola classic to exist. A game isn't called classic when it's released. I don't know how this is hard for you to grasp. I can draw a picture with some bright colored crayons if they would help.

Taking ooc out will alienate any players that don't start with friends. Even the retard Ignight used global Ooc to try to find a port. Might as well be playing single player.

Of course the guy who creates chat channels is pro ooc. I wouldn't play with or without ooc. Pop has actually been decent since cyclock has disappeared (terrible gm). Also any chance to get rid of agatha can only do good for your server.

You can hide OOC if you cant handle words on a 19 year old video game.

Just hide ooc.... that would only hurt our sever 😕
