no global ooc in offpeak killed the game

[Dantes]

It's really too bad that global ooc/auction was ever active in the first place. If people hadn't gotten used to using it, they would have nothing to complain about. Oh well.

From my perspective, the change is awesome. My main on the server is a 20th level Dark Elf warrior. Not only do I have absolutely nothing to help me travel, but to top that off I'm also evil and KOS in several zones. I can't even walk from 1 side of High Pass to another without either causing a huge train or ending up dead. Yet still, I am happy to see global OOC/auction gone.

First of all, people actually LOOK now and see who's on LFG. If they need a tank and they see me on that list, they'll send me a tell. I get those tells all the time, in fact I haven't really had to wait more than 10 minutes for a group since I dinged 15.

For selling, again from my perspective I think this change is actually useful for me. I cannot compete with the loot farmers. I already mentioned the travel difficulties. Removing global /auction actually gives me a zone full of people who might actually buy my items, rather than a bunch of folks who I can probably never make it to anyway. All I have to do is make it to the tunnel. I have also noticed more frequently that items are being auctioned in the zone where they drop, meaning I can get them for real cheap. When your main character is a warrior you take whatever opportunity you can to save plat because it doesn't come easy.
