no global ooc in offpeak killed the game

[nilbog]

In context, that was 3 months ago. Since then I have also read a 55 page thread concerning the matter.

I also said this:

The only resonating validity I can see for global chats is the helping of new people. They probably got eq to work out of the box.. but might not be able to get eqemu working without assistance.

So if chat channels still don't function properly and off-peak population is much less than "live" global OOC should be implemented.

I still don't get the point, of why you need global ooc? Is it for your entertainment, groups, or auctions? Someone thoroughly explain this, instead of "I need/want this". If you're playing with 200 people, you're still going to be playing with 200 people with global ooc and auction.

How many people do you really think were in East Commons at 2 am, prekunark?
