Is a necro going to sit around all day in gfay/EC selling an item and leaving their camp as suggested, or will they simply put it strait onto the auction forums and continue camping?

Remove the Ec tunnel sub forum problem solved.

The thing is, there was server forums and auction forums in live... but most of the server didnt use them regularly back in 99.

With this server everyone knows about the website and forums, or else how would you be playing? So its inevitable that auction will move to this site tbh.

Another reason why it probably didnt work so well in live (using forums for auctions, hence EC) was that on release of EQ you couldnt play in windowed mode or alt tab. So you literally had to be out of the game to browse etc.

With ~30k accounts, and only 4,628 forum members, I'd say this is still true. The majority of people you play with do not read these forums.

I think it is underestimated how many players actually want to see global ooc/auction removed. You just never hear from them, because they don't post here and have ooc turned off in game :P

It's an assumption, but I think given the option, the majority of players would choose to congregate in a zone.

But this is 4628/30000 when the global auction channel is present. When it's removed, the number of forum members will probably rise so people can use it instead of running to EC... And the point about not being able to tab out of everquest early on is true (you had to actually log out and quit to get to the forum back then).
