Jelatin is awesome. When I had like multiple repeat fail groups in uguk at level 18 he rezzed like 4 of my corpses. <3

Jelatin = Wiggles 2.0!

There's nothing preventing people from logging onto the IRC channel and having the same conversations and global requests for help that you used the old global OOC channel for. We all can still do this. All it takes is people's willingness to keep an IRC window going in the background...

I still remember the people that helped me get my character started back when in 2000 when I started playing eq. Not everyone forgets.

IRC isn't classic and should be nerfed!

:P

IRC has been around as long as the Internet- even longer really, on BBS's.

There may not have been an "official" IRC channel for EQ, but I'm sure there were lots of them going.

Now I feel a little stupid, let me clarify that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Chat systems LIKE IRC were around before the Internet. IRC was almost certainly built directly from one of them. Regardless, around long before EQ. I used to waste just as much time on IRC back in the early 90s as I ever did on EQ a decade later.

BoTS definitely had one going 24/7 during classic.

I voted no because of the usefulness of global and the fact that YOU CAN TURN IT OFF ANYTIME... but since the change I actually felt that warm fuzzy feeling when going through ec again and people seem to use anon/role less and tells can be used to find groups, ports, rezzes etc. I'd say the mods proved they know what's best better then we do. The only real downside I see now is actual noobs in search of help may give up early on with no easily accessable communication channel thanks to the adhd of todays games. But if that's the case, so be it. long live classic eq.

I wonder how long it will take me to get bored sitting in guk at 4am and stop logging in. Ah well for now the only annoyance is way more "omgz rez me" tells.
