OOC is out of control but I do like having it. Honestly a time limit, handing out suspension or ban for especially egregious RL attacks, racial slurs or homophobic BS would go a long way. I sure hope there aren't any actual gay people seeing this shit that spewed forth on forums or in OOC. Sad part is it's all about the epeen and I doubt any of you are actually homophobic or racist and people just think it's funny. IMO should not be allowed to fly in global channels and should result in account suspension. On live anything of the sort resulted in 7 day suspension and ban for repeated offenses. Wouldn't take many bans for people to get the message.
Agree about it not deterring the hardcore pvpers but it definitely hurts reputation of sever and kills the enjoyability for a lot of people. I made a char on here over 1.5 years ago but it took eqmac shutdown (and HB inspirational posts) to get me to soldier past all the BS on the forums and hate in OOC. What I found is it is actually a pretty fun server but I see why most people never get to see that part. If you want more bluebies to pick on, clean up the act.
