I vote keep it, hard enough finding a group as it is. the server doesn't have the people for zone only ooc

Global OOC has never helped me find a group. PERIOD.

I find groups by going to the zone or making friends with people and then starting a group by sending them DIRECT tells.

"No more groups" is not a plausible cause to vote no.

i read somethin earlier today like "when This and That came, everquest got easy, thats why i quit" - i know many people thinking that way and the only PRO to global ooc i read here is to make things easier... we dont want things easy, or else we would play WOW or such..

i see so many reasons to NOT have it global, but only one reason to keep it, and that is in short form "make it easier" .. do not want [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The SWGemu.com emulated server put a very similar poll, instead of removing global ooc/auc.... they were voting to wipe the server clean char/items etc.

Needless to say, on both sides, the adamant few kept making new accounts to vote no or yes.

Will the admin hold new registrations on these polls? or not allow you to vote unless you have X post counts?

Its an opinion poll. Just like any other internet poll, it shouldn't be taken as a voting booth. In the end, we'll go with what feels right. This is a way for everyone to get their thoughts out there.

It's pretty silly do take a poll if you are going to do whatever you want anyway. There's about 5 threads in the general chat that have been going on for months that sum up every thought posted here.

It's good that is stated up front. Some places don't value people's opinions and thus suffer greatly.

In the end, global ooc/auc on or off, people will STILL play and the server POP will STILL go up.

Hi, polls are taken because the leaders (aka devs/project managers) want to have a FEEL for which way they want to go.

Do you know how many "opinion" polls exist in america today? Dear christ.

What is the point of you even saying this?

Cool I guess. Some people want to respond to a post made by a developer.

It's silly for you to be silly.

It's a nice courtesy i think. If the polls came up like 500/100 in opposition to the developers' predetermined opinions it might even hold sway, so even though it's not official voting, it is still a nice courtesy.

I voted for global ooc/auction. But id take it back if there was a /join general channel or /trade channel to join. Not sure if that is classic or not though I started in luclin era.

tbh, it shouldn't be voted on - but i guess that's just me, the server is going for the current state of the game, be it classic, kunark, or velious- so hell yeah, out with the shit that dont' belong. (that is saying that it can be changed) i really believe that if folks are gonna leave because of it being removed. They won't be missed- Go back to wow, ultima online trammel land, or maybe try out EZ server i heard you start with epics there...

hey hey /rant off
