Should the auction channel be server-wide?

[GnomeLuvr]

No, it should not.

They kept introducing (and removing) server-wide chat channels when I played WoW, and without exception, they were used for nothing more than an attempt at validation for attention-starved basement-dwellers.

East Commonlands is an integral part of the sense of community that Everquest has. When the Bazaar was introduced on live, the server-wide sense of community took a huge hit. The community was fractured enough with the introduction of the Green server; we do not need to be asking for it to be damaged further by the introduction of any server-wide channels.

As someone who plays the game for the social aspects, even more than loot and killing stuff, I would probably quit playing if a server-wide auction channel was introduced.
