It is still very likely for me to log on with ~230 people online and when EQ first came out the numbers were in the thousands... I'm sorry but even when 500 people are online, usually only 5-10 of those people are lfg in the lower levels. Like someone mentioned before, i would bet money the people wanting /ooc off are the ones already in the higher levels & in a guild. It just doesn't make sense to only want that aspect taken out when many other things aren't 100% classic. Plain and simple there are still not enough people on at any given hour.

Let me read this piece by piece. First off, "get over it" statement, the same could be said to people who want global ooc to stay in (the minority atm). Yes, The devs have done an awesome job in recreating classic eq. Insult, insult. Personal situation. Irrational generalization (Im a 28 shaman, no guild). There are some non classic features still, but some of them cannot be changed, like item links, the sky graphic, the compass ( I think ). But there are still things that the devs have complete control of, like global channels, that are not classic and can be removed. They do, however, have no control over the population, and can only hope for the best there. Sorry for the ass-hole remark, through this wholde debate ive tried to be nice and respectful, some people go about it a different way though, thought I'd try it out : p

It is hard for me to continue reading past this point. I do not like the ooc spam, and I'm responsible for the classic content you play.

It was never an issue of whether or not it would be kept permanently. It was *when* it would be turned off. When enough people are on, it can turn into a gigantic wall of scrolling gibberish. That's non-classic.

Let me spin a tale for you. If little "Johnny" had spent 2 more hours in Tox Forest learning how to play his character, without hearing the ooc spam of free PL session in Qeynos, you might have a better Wizard in your Guk group. If not *every* item was for sale, all the time, you might get excited by an item drop. It is supposed to be immersive.

There are too many people that don't play this game every waking hour and only have limited time to play.

This argument didn't work in classic and still doesn't work now.

It just doesn't make sense to only want that aspect taken out when many other things aren't 100% classic.

Are you implying that we have a giant ready-made list of classic material, just ready to implement? We slowly fix things as we can, and the game will continue to get more classic as you go. Or maybe you have these fixes ready to go for us. Oh goody goody. I'm guessing not though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Your statement would then make sense, to argue that since not everything is 100% classic, that we shouldn't remove non classic things. Start reporting non-classic elements, provide fixes for them, or I don't see how it is relevant.

Say goodbye to ever:
finding gear,
Finding groups.
Finding rezzes
Finding ports,
Getting help if you're new and stuck in nektulos,
Finding help in general,
Finding someone to summon your corpse thats stuck in a gigantic vat of lava,
I'm sure I am missing more.

OOC can go for all i care but auction needs to stay.

finding gear -> EC? wtf..
Finding groups -> LFG? wtf..
Finding rezzes -> /who + /tell? wtf..
Finding ports -> /who + /tell? wtf..
Getting help if you're new and stuck in nektulos -> you can still use /ooc to ask in your zone?
Finding help in general -> there is still the forum or you can /tell someone for help
Finding someone to summon your corpse thats stuck in a gigantic vat of lava --> and again there is /who + /tell
I'm sure I am missing more.

OOC can go for all i care but auction needs to stay.

good luck finding no anon clerics , wizzies, and druids who don't want to be bugged by people and hell necros too.

Guess your /who theory goes out the line there.

like i mentioned already, like it is now, anonymous players (or at last the roleplaying ones) are listed!

I was not here at the release of P99. With a population in getting into the 100s you guys thought it would be good to use /ooc to help with many apsects & 1 in particular being grouping. Ok i understand you eventually wanted to take that out and I get that. But for example using a level 20 toon-- /who all lfg 20 30.... 10 people will show up 15 if you are lucky... how is that different from the low population you guys started with in the beginning??? Our population is growing and i think it is awesome Rogean and crew are doing such a great job in making this an enjoyable game-- but even with 700ish people the level distribution is still too spread out

I am disappointed people take advantage of /ooc for personal chatter & i am not going to try to pretend i have a solution for that... for the most part you guys controlled spam from the level 1 wizard Wwwwivlvlviwuuii that would fly thru the chat screen--from my understanding i thought that to be more of a problem than anything... but why are people so against /ooc -- it is so helpful for lower levels getting groups outside of their current zone...

Nil you nailed my point i wanted to express-- P99 has non classic things in this game.. so what.. this game cannot become 100% classic so why take out anything non classic now??? people are happy with the game play-- the population is growing-- if we take out /ooc are people going to protest item linking, not being able to box, boat system?

Yes, global ooc. We can turn it off. There are poll options at the top.

If you're implying people should turn off their own ooc, then I disagree with you.

Why? It's such an obvious solution. People would rather be part of the problem though, it seems.
