Question for OP:

Have you ever considered actually moderating OOC? Like, handing out suspensions and bans to people who keep calling each other the n-word and saying horrendously homophobic remarks?

I agree it's bad and it drives players away. It's nothing new to the genre, however, and the solution is actually punishing people and encouraging players to report verbal abuse.

this

Merge blue and red together, keeping red server PvP rules and blue server chat/exp rules. Maybe change pvp range to 4 levels. Any other changes will be negligible in comparison, and likely negligible in actuality.

It's a sad truth.

Did not read, goin with gut instinct and doom n' gloom hysteria, FUCKING STUPID TO TAKE OUT OOC BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE PUSSY CRYBABY FAGGOTTS, die.

group xp modifier is an excellent idea in lou of the current one

would love to be a part of that experiment

edit: altho losing ooc would make a little more difficult to coordinate

Read some of it, simple solution without goin Stalin on us: create optional NSFW global chat channel and let freedom ring, leave ooc for the fagots and people who should die

Awesome to see ideas being kicked around!

Incentives to group vs. solo are a great idea.

I'll personally miss the OOC if that goes through but understand why there are people who aren't amused by it.

Any thoughts of having a guide monitor the ooc instead of getting rid of it (at least during prime time)? I would suggest an global LFG and Auction channel but I think that would be equally abused by people saying the same things just in a different channel.

they already log it. know a few people been banned/suspended for violating pnp with their ooc chat as a major piece of evidence... especially at pnp inception

but if you're suggesting policing ooc to the point of stopping any racism or extreme comments that's way more work for the staff that takes away from gameplay issues

plus how to justify punishing people for extremely offensive comments when more than half the server has that kind of offense on record?

removing ooc is the right thing to do. New players should join guilds to fill the silence



sent from my toilet

but seriously, wot does this mean? +xp -ooc? or just thoughts cus ;dr
