It is the year 2010. People generally have computers powerful enough to run EQ in windowed mode while having an IRC client up. The IRC #project1999 channel can replace global OOC if everyone really wanted it to. Yes, it's a tad more inconvenient to switch out of window and ask/respond to something, but since obviously it's game-breaking for some of you to not have some sort of global chat, I would think that would be a minor inconvenience.

All that does is circumvent the issue creating a band-aid type solution, when it would be easier all around just to implement chat-channels.
Global channels didn't destroy the EC experience on the Combine server on live. They enhanced it. Don't ask me how or why, but people still used a global auction channel AND used EC as a hub.
Ask yourself, does it make sense to not have global chat, but allow people to /tell others across the world? or /guild across the world? Quit being hypocritical.
