You have to think; To disband ooc, you have to have a large enough population to support 100-200 people just in EC tunnel during the off hours.

Having a good population during peak hours alone will not completely fix everything. i'd say a 1k to 1200 population peak would be sufficient, with 600-700 at the lowest hours

I recall seeing fewer than 50 people on EMarr in EC back in Kunark days at 3 in the morning. That was with a 2k-2500 peak server pop.

If global /ooc were removed you'd have to take global /auc too or you'd just see it co-opted for the same purpose. Policing that would be messy.

I'm all for the removal of global channels. Being able to auction your shit while camping something out in bumfuck nowhere saves loads of time and makes it a seller's market. Forcing sellers to spend valuable time in EC auctioning stuff gives advantages to buyers and gives the server something resembling a real economy.

Yeah i agree the servers population has become larger and ooc is out of control and what you said above is amazingly true now i support the removal of global channels.

The possibility of something of great importance is eminent(soon to happen) of this post are of many. You would feel bad for the staff if certain of these aren't conterfeit.

I don't know if this makes sense, I couldn't find the Hasbintranslator on dictionary.com.

my thoughts were i see /lfg works but a channel solely used for finding grps would allow /ooc to get as busy as it wants and players can still find grps...

searching lfg is different then spamming a channel.
But oh well its not needed or anything so i wont worry about it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Im sure the devs have realized /oom getting more pop'd and will resolve it i f it becomes an issue.

/ooc would be great if people wouldn't try to have conversations about the following: drugs, politics, sports, religion. Most people in these conversations consider themselves much smarter than they actually are.

/ooc has no rules and making them would be a waste

I'm amazed that so many people actually still read /ooc. To me, the OOC channel is nothing but a little chat box of green text off to the side of my screen in a place I won't be bothered by it. The only time I even read anything said in /ooc anymore is when someone says something that happens to have set off one of my audio triggers.

I guess chat channels never worked out, huh?

Did some searching, didn't see any thread specifics. Channels never seem to work on emu servers. If we were able to, we could have general, trade, LFG, etc.
