Global OOC?

[Ninja]

Pleaseeeeeeeeeee?

[Nexenn]

agreed, totally worth it... stupid not to have it

[Scrooge]

It used to be that way for quite a long time when P99 came up. This is something else I also consider to be an important part of maintaining a playerbase as it makes finding groups way easier.

[Bootcamp]

ooc makes people mad
could have a chat channel for lfg but that's NOT CLASSIC

[KennyPVP]

dont implement that bullshit please, there use to be trolls that got on and spammed the shit outta people... I VOTE HELL NO

[skorge]

That's why they make an ignore button. I think it would be a good idea for a global ooc too.

[Cast]

whipe or bust

[disco]

OOC until population gets higher.. Well atleast thats how it worked with Blue, worked out great too.

[Danne]

No bloody chat channels damnit.

[zixxer]

If you don't like global ooc can't you just right click your chat box and unclick it? or move it to a different chat box?

[L1ch]

Agree /plead

[zixxer]

We don't want to implement anything that would evoke any kind of emotion out of people IE Item Loot/Global OOC, it's better to keep everyone sedated.

Global ooc + yellow text

[Morninx]

[Amirite]

global ooc would turn into these forums.

I like more community then 2 people in zone, if you don't click off global ooc in options.

'nuff said

[Rust1d?]

I agree with global ooc....hard to find groups nowadays

[Truth]

When the blue server voted for global ooc or not, it was pretty split 50/50

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=7803

We never really had an official'y poll on this I don't think.

What would the poll be for exactly? whether or not you want to allow other people to be able to talk to people globely, since you can always turn it off in your chat box if you don't like it?

[KennyPVP]

Hell no, dont do it.

[boss]

If u open global ooc on red it would only help. Make it so u have to be lvl 6 so u have to work a decent amount to actually use it instead of someone making random troll "imaginary fag or holoqueer" level 1's to talk shit.

Its not detrimental and helps the low level people find other people to group with, as well as allowing people to talk some shit with whoever ALLOWS themselves to listen to it.

You can always turn this shit off like the profanity filter and any other thing that pisses you off or ruins u fags immersion.

What u r doing now is limiting the ability of casuals to find help in maintaining a healthy population.

Take it or leave it, but you as devs are ruining the server that u worked (i assume) pretty hard to make work for all kinds, not just the few of you whom think solidarity or guild chat is the only way to go.

On a side note, this is not a blue server where u can just hang in a zone and ooc lfg all day alone. You shouldnt make this game harder than it already is.

[Amuk]

I was against it at first, but the population being so small makes it hard for new players to find groups, I would change my vote and be in support of it.

[Kastro]

Couldn't everyone who is like minded and want global chat just join P99RED IRC or make a P99 red Irc and just invite people in game to join? Is there anything stopping you? I have found that I can generally get a group if I am in a zone that is level appropriate and has loot people are interested in. When you group with someone add them to friends, and send tells when you log on or see them log on. Or you can join a guild for a multi zone chat. I like the convienience of a global chat, but its like having the Jerry Springer show streaming to a box on your screen 24/7. Global yellow text on the other hand is pretty awesome as it allows players to have any where the pvp is goin on and who is involved... Pvp by the top end guilds in solb... Is Naggy up? but the only problem is people tend to kill anyone in range just to get the text up there... Doesn't matter if they are a half dead lowbi trying to grind a blue of exp.

OR it could just be convenient and have global /ooc?

If not I may consider joining in on something like this..... Need that community brews.

[Tombom]

just make it all optional, literally 0 negatives. Global ooc will help population and encourage grouping for lower levels comming into the server. Yellow text is fucking fun dont be fags.

[Harrison]

Global ooc makes things less shitty. But, on red with you inbreds? Fucking terrible. It's an incessant flood of illiteracy and stupidity like WoW trade chat.

[Vibe]

my 3rd post to say its a terrible idea, dont do it.

[Lemons]

do it, you can opt out if you cant resist our vztz trolls...


FUCK CLASSIC MENTALITY LETS DITCH THIS SHIT AND MAKE IT FUN.

[lululalana]

it is so hard to unclick ooc button

[Ninja]

my 3rd post to say its a terrible idea, dont do it.

How about you say why? You know a post that is worth reading.

JUST CLICK IT OFF IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT AND QUIT COCK-BLOCKING OTHER FOLKS FUN.

Also @ Devs... Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee

Sad, but true.

[Nizzarr]

No thanks.

Seen global ooc -- was very happy when it got taken away AND that was on a blue server.

[Awwalike]

all for global ooc, it was very tite on blue

[vitalious]

Im down for global auc/ooc!

Still have not heard a reason why we shouldn't have it if people who don't like it can turn it off.

STILL WAITING.... IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT WHY CAN'T YOU TURN IT OFF?

They don't want others to have fun yo.

are you sick or a bluebie dildo that wants to play solo player secret of mana 3D?

global ooc + YT

[gnomishfirework]

Server pop kind of requires it with everyone anon.

Come on people!

Have devs said this is a possibility? It would help the server pop and maybe make it unnecessary and then we won't have it and no one will ask for it! It's brilliant!

So really, it you are against global OOC, vote for it!

[Danne]

If the devs decide to add this to the game (which I hope that they don't), make sure that it isn't on auto-join. If people want this crap, don't force it into everyone's face. It isn't that hard to get groups as long as you're not an asshat/a retard.

If someone's talking a lot of crap in a public channel I want to have the ability to silence him through violent actions. If someone's 14 zones away, it's not going to happen.

[Darwoth]

stupid not to have a global chat imo

[Smedy]

global ooc..

good things: people can chat find groups (which is hard) and feel a sense of "community".

bad things: "not classic"

***** please..

why is this even an argument, at least give us the option to join a global chat so people who want to chat can do it. 150-300 players isn't classic either, it's hard to find groups as it is.

Full immersion can only be obtained by never being able to find a group and having to solo hags for 1 blue of xp an hour dawg, Box lyfe.

i seem to recall you feel opposite of this sometime ago, too lazy to confirm but i enjoy flipfloppin

biggest thing for me is that global ooc and YT make it actually feel like i am playing an online game with/against other people instead of working a 2nd job in a cambodian sweat shop fufilling the lucrative demands of weak western consumers for hand knitted clicking of 1 and ctrl+s.

I am not a dev. and this is not a "STAFF REPRESENTATION POST OMG" but here are things i've heard from various sources:

-Global OOC makes it easier for you to chase down someone you are griefing when people can help you for the lulz ... /ooc Darwoth just entered Oasis....'
-Global OOC increases the temptation for people to act stupid / say dumb things.
-Global yellow text increases the likelyhood of some of your fellow players acting like total ass clowns and breaking all sorts of rules JUST to get/ avoid the yellow text.

That said.....Global ooc would make it far easier for me to police the language used in ooc. I did it on beta. I coudl just sit there with #kick copied and ready to paste for when someone decided to go off calling people names like "******" or "cunt" etc.

I would absolutely have to have access to the power to mute global ooc though because when it's one of me and 200 of you......


And you are right. 200 players is NOT classic. It would be cool as hell if all 200 of you would go advertise for Red 99 on sites talking about free mmo's. Check out facebook - look for your old server's to have groups on facebook where you can talk - maybe you can hook up some of your old pals. even if you were an ex-bluebie you can hook up a few of your ex-bluebie friends and convert them. If you've made wow friends introduce them to the game.

MOST of the fun in playing EQ is the people.

Wow i'm rambly today ;)

[webrunner5]

Yeah I can see the chase someone down thing. A few people would surely have a bulls eye on their ass lol.

[mitic]

global chat was needed the first year on blue due to the lower playerbase .. same is needed on red for now

[burkemi5]

it's pretty difficult to get someone to play classic EQ who hasn't already played it, the grind, time wasted on travel / LFG, inability to solo, just to name a few. I tried to get my brother into it and he quit around level 15 or so. honestly, i didn't blame him. for 90% or more of us, this server is completely about nostalgia.
