GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[Phallax]

exemptions are allowed for 1 reason and 1 reason only.
to allow your friend. roommate, spouse, dog, dad, wtfe to play on the same IP as you, not so you have a 2nd account to do things while youre off farming/grouping

[Sslaesha]

Personally, I think that the fact that the poll is basically 50/50 is a pile of garbage. Global OOC/action is not classic. People not having to leave their camp because they can just auction their FBSS via global chat is also not classic. Give farmers a reason to leave the camp and give someone else a chance at some loot.

for alot people those campers help us get some gear. well all know here is a lot of things that arent classic, big deal

Isn't the whole point of this server to relive classic zones/groups and go and earn gear yourself? You can sit in a zone and farm PP on any server, go have some actual fun.

[Elendae]

Everything that isn't classic, will be. This is just one more step towards the devs goal.

lol everyone has a different play style, ya know.

i dont have time to sit and camp shit myself, but i know how to make money, pay the guy who camps for his time, in turn i get the gear needed to make more money...etc

I wouldn't say that exactly, some things will not be going back, as it would be illegal to make changes to the client - and some fixes would only be available via client changes.

Got news for you, friend. Classic Everquest is no game for anyone who doesn't "have time". You want EZ server. It's that way ===>

That argument is so overused, illogical, and unnecessarily belligerent that it makes me want to vomit every time I see it.

/Hands you a puke bag. Enjoy friend.

[Beef]

/Hands you a puke bag. Enjoy friend.

yep that's pretty much all people like you can do is gloat, an intelligent response or an effort to understand where someone else is coming from is wayyy too much to ask for, you'd think some people would've have grown up some in the last 7-10 years.

[AR3151]

first i never said i wanted the EZ but dont come in here trying to designate how a person should play. i dont care how you play, so dont worry about how i should.

[Rufus]

What a farce... devs made up their minds before this poll even went up. At least be honest with us if you're not going to respect our opinions.

[Elendae]

Read what nilbog has stated several times in this thread. The poll is pretty meaningless since people were just spamming new accounts to vote. The feedback he got was useful though.

Besides, this isn't a democracy.

the game may not be a democracy however every person who quits because the game is a barren wasteland other than ec, lguk, and the sols is another one you wont be able to group with.

Of course when the population falls to a certain tipping point the globals will come back then the cycle will begin again.

[Elendae]

The game isn't a barren wasteland. It's not any less populated than before. Everyone flocked to LGuk/Solb with global chat on anyway, global chat effectively shrunk the world moreso than turning it off.

I'm not worried about the population. It's 10 times the population of the other emu servers, and that basically says it all. I see this as a good thing for the server.

[rockhopper]

Hmm, current population on a Tuesday during work hours (12:48 Central Time US): 429.

That seems pretty good to me.

[Branaddar]

I liked original EQ because friends were made in a zone and you could carry on somewhat-meaningful discussions with a smallish number of people in zone.

If I wanted to try and slip conversation in between 30 "wts" and spammy retard crap in a global channel, I'd go back to WoW.

We're here to play Classic EQ, not Classic EQ + a few conveniences. Because once we start down that path, we end up with mercenaries and instant ports anywhere in the world and KEI bots and... well, you get the idea.

I bet during summer these numbers will go up. The question is will they hold?

[Shawk]

Population reached about 700 or from what I saw..

I thought people were suppose to be quitting? Seems like a lot of false Prophets around here spitting bullshit..

[Branaddar]

A lot of people are joining, too. My old Tholuxe Paells community boards were informed of the project, I'm sure a few new signups came about because of that.

And I just made a post on Kotaku about it, that'll probably get it some notice as well.

Record number of players on last night. The population is growing, despite the loss of your precious EZ mode.

You lose.

Good day sir.

[eqdruid76]

I SAID GOOD DAY!!!

Unfortunately, it's truth. And nothing you can type will change that. Classic Everquest was not designed for those who need someone to hold their member while they take a whizz. Seriously, you want another private server.

I mean, what the hell do you people want? Classic Everquest, or a modified Classic Everquest that caters to the lazy, the uninspired and the stupid?

New concurrently online record last night...

bah, beat me to it :p

Well, shit. Then what can those of us who are well-endowed play?!

[eqdruid76]

Nothing. Guys with big ones don't play video games.

its a fallacy that everquest in any form is difficult especially in the era the emu is at. There are no scripts or emotes to follow, most raid mobs have moderate resists at best, none of the aoes are really nasty, and as long as you over come the regen you will win eventually.

the game was and is annoying however your either delusional or unskilled to call it difficult. these are perl scripts and c++ code were fighting and they behave the same way every time.

"you're", not "your".

Learn the difference, then I just MIGHT take you seriously.

There's nothing arrogant about demanding you to learn the language, if you so choose to communicate with it. If you're unable to do so, then that's your problem. Here endeth the lesson.

i was referring to your arrogant overbearing attitude towards any one who has an opinion that differs from yours. Your just another jerk who thinks playing a 10 year old video game makes him some sort of authority on what works in game design and what doesn't.

the choice to disable globals and replace them with nothing was in my opinion poorly thought out and implemented with little planning or regard for the off peak population.
Disagree? fine then disagree, however to try marginalize a differing opinion with strawman and personal attacks shows your true caliber. /rude to you

I see you have mastered the vulgar words, but are struggling in the possessive pronoun department. :P

[mdavis15]

Look at it this way folks. You knew global would not be permanent coming in, so first there is no reason to complain either way. Second, you don't and are not forced to pay anything therefore you really have no say. I mean it's totally unfair for someone tell you how to play the game they support, program, fix and run completely free of charge? A true travesty!

[Dantes]

Wow, that's classy. Apparently this thread is the new Global OOC.

[Kluren]

Thank you developers and all you do.


Any classic veteran knows that global ooc/auc was *not* classic. Any true classic veteran knows EC trade tunnel *was* classic.

Locked.
