LOL and people still post like your serious!!! LOLOL I am laughing my ass off

Lies. I think you just wanted to be a "cool kid" :eek:

AM I DOING IT RITE?!?

I can't believe you guys aren't taking this more seriously. This is totally game breaking and ruins the entire classic experience. I don't know how you can just sit there doing nothing when people are having conversations about Obama in OOC. This totally ruins gameplay for me and honestly there is no way I can see myself being able to heal people when somewhere on the same server as me people are enjoying talking to one another about topics not directly related to Everquest. If this isn't fixed immediately I foresee the server having more noobs sticking around past level 2 and this totally ruins the 90% noob turnover rate a TRUE classic server would maintain. You laugh now but what will you do when some of these noobs are in your dungeons, looting your mobs???

Something must be done.

It's not just that dude, I enjoy ooc conversations in ooc, but honestly, there are a large number of disposable accounts made by a few bad apples that spam for no other reason than to annoy people. Fix THAT and I really have no problem with global ooc other than "it's not classic," which I really take with a grain of salt, because this server isn't really classic in the first place (not a flame, i know most of the non-classic elements are beyond control and the ones that aren't are there for good reason). Basically, I could do without the danthrotica from Penoy's many banned accounts and other idiotic spam from characters named "iugfajsjskfuu" or equivalent.

Ugh... I enjoyed wacking off to... err reading the Danthrotica.

BTW: Danth, where did you go homie?

This has already been addressed in the 9001 other "real" threads on the issue.

Which is why the spirit of this OP has tongue firmly in cheek! :)

Honestly the past couple of weeks (obv past couple of weeks from when the server went down) there hasn't been all that much spam and while I guess it could be occurring during the 35 minutes per day I am not logged in I think it's died down a lot. And yeah I think those people are pieces of shit too. The Danth stories were funny but one or two postings of each would have been sufficient, 30 in a row pushing all the other spam out of ooc is too much and quite annoying.

That said my worry is just that any new person logging in for the first time is likely to have forgotten a huge chunk of EQs quirky little annoyances. Being able to just /ooc OMG HOW DO I SWIM UP?!?! may be the difference between a bunch of these people continuing to play or just throwing their hands up in frustration. And yeah I know people too stupid to figure out every aspect of the newbie experience will just be breathing air that better players could be breathing and all that... But really it takes good players and noobs and assholes and everything else under the sun to make for a real classic experience... And I think that encouraging people to stay and give it a chance will be more beneficial in the long run and easily balance out the annoyance of having to put anoob_001 on ignore for spaming about halfling cock. *shrug*

ITS RUINING THE SERVERS INTEGRITY
