How about adding a Zone Radius Limit to OOC?
For example:
Your personal OOC is only visible to players within a 2 or 3 zone radius.
This way it is like an 'extended shout'. Limits how many people can read things such as locations etc. but still gives enough people to engage in an OOC chat. This also allows for many different zone radius OOC chats going on which might be an interesting dynamic (and possibly get some Chinese whispering going on).
This could also be done per continent, race etc.
