GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

I personally could care less about all the political debating going on in OOC. STFU and take that stuff to the proper place [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shitcan global OOC and Auction. Not because it's not "Classic" but because it's annoying. And before anyone cries about "just mute them" or "put them in their own window", no. I will not. The channels exist for a reason, and it's not to bitch about the state of the world today, who is a great world leader, etc. Technically OOC can be about anything you want, but if people want to talk politics, religion, your girlfriend's facebook profile, etc, EverQuest is not the place for it. Discussions are fine and everything, but 600+ people have access to what boils down to a chat room where anything goes with an ever-changing subject matter that spams the crap out of people's UI.

And trying to hide it makes the channels useless for those of us willing to help newbies out. The only problem I see with getting rid of global OOC is the possibility of making it harder to find groups at times (though granted I mostly use /who all lfg and a lvl range and make my own groups), and if someone makes a character in say, Grobb, and needs help they probably won't have many in the city to help them.
