no global ooc in offpeak killed the game

[Branaddar]

I know it sucks trying to build a group during non-peak periods. I've been there. Back in the old days I worked an evening job, so most of my game time was morning-afternoon.

Honestly, global chat wouldn't have done much to fix the issue. It's an issue of not enough people playing during those times. Or people not putting up LFG. Or people not being adventurous enough to ask non-LFG people if they want to do something.

All I can suggest is try to get more people that would game on your time to play. Re-enabling global OOC may get you one more group spot filled out of ten play sessions. But people need to stop leaning on /role and /anon so much and just accept that they're going to get tells and that it's part of the game.

I've played a chanter and a wizard and the only times I put /role on were when I was running through a low level zone to avoid a billion tells for crack. Worse things have happened than having to "/r sorry, I'm busy at the moment."
