GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[stiv]

I guess I should draw my camp before I make general statements about the nature of this server and the discourse up to this point. I am here, obviously, because I like the classic content and am in full agreement with the devs that EQ was a great game up until Velious. I like EQ because it is difficult and very punishing for mistakes. I like the fact that when i am doing a quest I don't see a damn icon over an npc's head telling me this is who I need to talk to or kill...

That being said, I am neither a staunch classicist, or w/e we want to call members of the community that want the true vanilla experience. I am pretty delighted that i do not have to stair at my spell book for 90% of my time logged, and similar perks that the client inevitably bring to p99. It would seem that my views differ from those of the dev team so in the end my argument does not hold much weight for the the overall effect of the server. My only stance is this: I like you people! I feel an affinity with everyone that joins this server for harboring the same feelings about classic EQ as I do. I feel that global chat allows me to be immersed in this community. Ultimately, what I seek from this server is not an attempt to re-create something Sony made 10 years ago, but to experience something that the devs made 9 months ago and share it with everyone who has come to this place.

Then you're here for the wrong reason, and have completely missed the point of the server. Completely.

Say goodbye to a good number of people if there isn't SOME FORM of global communication.

Why would anyone quit because of that? This is a classic server, did you really expect global channels when you started to play here?

I did not, i was surprised of the global channel not in a good way.

Ive yet to see someone say that they would quit the server if global channels were kept/taken away......

[Myrkskog]

No one is going to leave because of global chat being gone.. change your name, its unfitting.

I think more people will lose interest from this not being changed, devs will be changing this like it or not, the question is when. If devs suddenly decide to change their mind and keep it global, then I will be worried.

It will be changed though, so those on the fence.. better make your leave now imo

I do not understand why everyone has to get so derisive and vitriolic about this issue, it seems to conjure up feelings of deep hatred whenever it is mentioned.

The server was made to be classic, Global chat kills a good half of what classic was.. Community being a huge part of that, instead of communties being more scattered and remote it is all forced into a chat room that half of us are forced to turn off because of how unclassic it is..

I think a good 80% of you people saying no are just lazy and use to things being easy in MMORPGS. This game is so much easier because of Global chat and seeing as how you seem to like the brutal side of EQ it doesn't make much sense that you want global chat.

At the moment this is a classic server with classic content, but the community nothing like 1999, i think the devs know that and will make the change when the time is right. No one is mad or getting angry at your opinion, the people who are here to have a classic server are just getting bashed again by a bunch of people who want this game made easy, its the same people that want there to be more content after velious, this is suppose to be a CLASSIC server, if people don't like that they should just go join a server that already has what you guys desire implemented, there are tons of them..

Theres only one classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] let us have this....
