I completely agree on the point that in it's current state, with a growing population, /ooc is going to need to be re-worked. Honestly, I'm not sure what the real reasoning is anymore for it being global. We have /auction for sales and /LFG for finding groups. Honestly, if /ooc were zonewide not only would it more resemble classic, but people might actually USE the /LFG feature for a change. And new players could still ask their "I dont' know/remember!" questions.
Now, I'm not saying this should be done today, right now, this minute. I just thing that at the current rate of expansion (in the last two months we've seen the the 400 and 500 marks set) we'll soon end up with too many people for this to make sense. I think the only people that could even argue that this should be kept in it's current state are those that have a need to argue about which flavor of gatorade is better or have to meet a quota of 10 smartass remarks to other peoples questions an hour or they're not happy.
Just food for thought!

This.
Its not just the spammers that are the problem anymore. It is the sheer volume. Imagine back in classic if there were 500 people in GFay, what the OOC spam would have been like. Well, that's what we have now with global OOC.
Per-zone OOC just makes sense. If not now, then when we get to 600 during peak times. Or 800. Or whenever.
At some point soon, given the growing population, I think most of us will come to agree that its the only solution.
