me too

and i don't see what's so wrong about PoK books too, really cuts down on everyone needing to /auc for ports all the time

Yeah, hell, let's implement mercenaries too. I hate having to find people to group with. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I say yes, all it takes is getting rid of global ooc/auc.

[Omnimorph]

Bazaar took out a large part of the community as far as i'm concerned. And anything that damages the community is a big no no [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] PoK books also fall in that bracket.

I'd prefer that. Why the fuck did it have to be North Freeport?

im 100% down for abolishing lfg / ooc / auctioning in global chat channels.

EC tunnel works out awesome, sure NFP is convenient for good races, but its equally as close to neriak bank as it is to nfp bank. I think its cool, if you want to go shopping head to EC and see whats for sale instead of trying to pay attention to uber spammage in /auctioning, then finally seeing something you want only to realize they are on a completely different continent than you.

/ooc /auc /lfg global chat channels are fail, server pop is almost 600 at peak times. I think its time to remove this shit.

Yes bring it back, with 600+ players during a given weeknight the argument for global auction is quickly losing any legitimacy.

I completely agree with Weekapaug. I also think its ridiculous that people who disagree with new ideas in these types of conversations immediately jump to a sarcastic comment about PoK books. You're not making an effective point. Absolutism just makes you look ignorant and stupid.

Here's sweeping news for classic EQ players: Some changes were made to the game since classic that made the game better. OMG! Is it so hard to imagine that since some of those changes were omitted for P99, that some players might want to see them reinstated because they made the game better than it was?

That said, I'm not sure if a teleporter to a bazaar zone would be the answer, since people would USE them like a PoK transporter to get around, thus "shrinking" the world. Perhaps (and this would take tremendous amounts of effort by an already overworked dev staff) the EC tunnel could be converted to use bazaar mechanics?
