i never use forums or anything but here goes. ive been saying we should implement chat channels not to long ago. here's the issue, you have one side saying that server wide chat is killing the classic experience, shrinking the world, and having inappropriate conversations to which i agree with.
ON the other side, people are saying the server isnt big enough to go without channels, that people wont be able to find groups, well, lets find a solution for both.
lets bring /ooc /aucion to only zone wide, then implement only ONE chat channel, only one. one chat channel that you manually have to /join and then its specificlly used for finding groups. this isnt totally classic but deffinetly alot closer, the world wont feel so shrunk, and the argument that the server isnt big enough and poeple wont be able to find groups, people can just /join the group finding channel. and if you wanna say on a social level, it wont be big enough, in classic if you remember you had to find groups and actually talk to people, make friends and join guilds, and if the /auction is zonewide, you would have to go to a populated zone (east commonlands tunnel, freeport, gfay ect)zone where people sold iteams, bringing /auction /ooc to zonewide ACTUALLY forces everyone to be more social. all problems solved, someone comment on this and point out its flaws.
