hmmmm was actual sitting 3 hours sitting /LFG today. and yes, i did /who all lfg and /who all *Zonename*..... and tried up to build a group
during the peak-times, this would work, but when only a few people in the range of lvl 20 - 30 are LFG - u ve no chance to build up a group. as a casual / player with familiy / player with long working-times the actual situation is realy disappointing. oh yes, "its classic" - how could i forget that - so it must be gold, or?
btw. we r doing lots of polls - may be, we should do a poll, how many time each of us can play per day during a normal week - than we would see, if 1 or 2 hours time to find/build up a group, like today its often the case, is the thing we should working for...

But this begs a question. Even if you could find someone with global chat, that might mean they're too far away to reach you. I mean, you can '/who <zone>', right? That even lists anonymous players. The other /who method won't list anon players. All global chat would do is better open you up to anonymous players and players who're too far away already to make it practical. Anon players, many of them, don't want anonymous /tells. For example, a lot of druids will go /anon to avoid getting lots of tells for ports. Even if a player doesn't use '/lfg on' because they don't know about it, you can still use '/who <zone name>' to find them.
It's a little less convenient to do it this way, but keep in mind some players don't even use these tools. Like me for example. I actually go to the zone. I don't like to use /who or irc or the forums. When you're lower level, it's not that hard to find groups. I can understand that it's harder at higher levels. It's also easier to solo at lower levels and get a corpse. So I'm not fooling myself into thinking that you can do it the way I do it.
I wasn't cheerleading for removing global ooc, but you need to use your options. And you need to decide whether you want to live angry at this game or whether leaving is better for your sanity. Alternatively, play a class that can exist better on its own. A warrior is a horrible class to play at off-peak hours, but it's not so bad once you've got a guild and have a main character at level 50. At that point, you can just twink a warrior alt.
If I were you, I'd try PEQ. But leveling up, even with the extra bells and whistles of PEQ, is still not the easiest thing. On the plus side, you can box at PEQ. You have options. Stop complaining and use them.
And i have no doubt in my mind they'll enable global chat if population falls. I'm sorry if me telling you to use your options is getting you mad. I've been there. I've complained. But if you can't cope with the set of classic features on this server, the best statement you can make is not to play.
