GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[Estharik]

I have to agree with the LFG thing. Having a global channel is really something that we need, even if it brings in some spammers now and then. If the chat server functioned I would say get rid of global ooc/auction, but I say stick with them global for now.

./ all LFG.

I don't think "out of character" should be something you're using to find a group, in character.

This is true, but I think the more ways to find a group the better. Getting groups in this game is key to make it enjoyable. And when you're not in a guild or don't know anyone else on the server personally, global OOC is just another way to interact.

The only problem I have with global chat is that it turns into cesspool of a /b/ chat room and/or debate forum between bored lonely men arguing about stupid shit.

Other than that, I don't mind it.

I voted for per zone only.

I understand the argument that some players (a low percentage) actually have valid questions in ooc, but most of the low level players on a server like this have just as much EQ knowledge as the higher players (and are probably more apt to answer without being a jackass about it). Generally speaking, I don't think it will hurt the new players much to use shout.

People will have to start using the LFG tool more religiously versus shouting in the global channels, but personally I want to see the EC Tunnel make a comeback [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I voted YES because i didn't read it, change my vote to NO!

[ribaldron]

I voted for NO, leave it global.

While I agree that KNOWING the chats are global sort of ruins the "Classic" feeling - the bulk of stuff you actually SEE, however, is definitely classic.

When the server grows in population a bit more, I think it will be time to turn them off. But not yet!

i think if auction were to be kept for some reason couldnt it be rate limited to like one message every 5 or 10 minutes? that would give no one any incentive to speak in that channel and could be a good compromise if ooc were disabled on a global level.

either way i voted for the complete removal cause as nibbers said.... its not classic!

[ziahh]

i voted no not because i think it is better but with the current population i think that it would not be benificial at this time. later when we reach a more healty population i would vote yes right away
