GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[SchadenFreude]

There is so much spam in OOC / Auction, even in the off hours, that I completely ignore it. If it was restricted to just the current zone I would have time to read it, sometimes use it, but I would not be regarding it as "information overload".

There are other chat options available on Live to fill the serverwide communication void: Channels. I always opted out of these for the same reasons I now ignore OOC / Auction. When I did want to participate in a serverwide auction I would join the appropriate channel. Most times, my channel list was very limited.

This is not a pure "Classic" experience in the sense that every mistake or hardship is repeated. Remember having to actually look at a spell book until level 35? The book did not enhance gameplay. It just made it easy for a puma to sneak up on a wizard 59 minutes out of any given hour. For this reason, I beg you, please put the tradeskill recipes back. Make us learn them before the can be used, but don't make it an insane clickfest. My fingers hurt.

Aw crap. Now my back is going to hurt because I just pulled landscaping duty.
