devs srsly, we have already 37 pages within some days + other endless threads in this matter.

just disable them non-classic serverwide channels, case closed.

let the playerbase handle this by themself and allow playercreated channels instead (ie for pickupraids, auction, new players etc)

channels would defeat the WHOLE purpose of all reasonings of this thread...that was the worst idea of anyone especially a dev to come up with

1) channels arent classic
2) they still allow for global communication (LFG and AUC channels will be created)

why can't people just turn off ooc and auction and use shout as their zone channels? then ALL would be pleased!

Why cant people stop bringing up that point because its 0??

Because you can't have integral parts of the game included in a function that people are just supposed to turn off if they don't like it. If you haven't even read the thread stop talking and just vote.

Um, I know their isn't many raids going on yet. But... I specifically remember, when raiding back in the classic days we had to use the different channels for raid coordination.

I.e. if more than 1 raid was occurring at the same time, one raid would use shout, another would use ooc, etc.

I guess, their won't be open raids on this server.

Or they are going to need to put in chat channels.... for this reason I vote to make the channels per zone.

Are chat channles seriously being considered as an alternative to global ooc? they are the same thing...... I dont think anyone is upset about the fact that you log on and /ooc is automatically on, thats the only diff between it and chat channels, I am personally upset about how global ooc changes the game, and global chat channels have the same effect.

I personally could care less about all the political debating going on in OOC. STFU and take that stuff to the proper place [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shitcan global OOC and Auction. Not because it's not "Classic" but because it's annoying. And before anyone cries about "just mute them" or "put them in their own window", no. I will not. The channels exist for a reason, and it's not to bitch about the state of the world today, who is a great world leader, etc. Technically OOC can be about anything you want, but if people want to talk politics, religion, your girlfriend's facebook profile, etc, EverQuest is not the place for it. Discussions are fine and everything, but 600+ people have access to what boils down to a chat room where anything goes with an ever-changing subject matter that spams the crap out of people's UI.

And trying to hide it makes the channels useless for those of us willing to help newbies out. The only problem I see with getting rid of global OOC is the possibility of making it harder to find groups at times (though granted I mostly use /who all lfg and a lvl range and make my own groups), and if someone makes a character in say, Grobb, and needs help they probably won't have many in the city to help them.

I've read the thread and voted no. You can turn it on when you need to use it or use shout to be zone specific in your chatting.

You CAN have parts of the game that you can turn off if you don't like it. Aside from the obvious of global /ooc and /auc, I'll say the bad word filter. You can play with it on so that you don't see curses. You can turn off /auc and /ooc when you don't use them, and use /shout for your zone specific needs. So shuttup and quit trolling with your bad self.

Also, you're a stupid-face.



...you stupid-face.

Go troll elsewhere. People like you are the exact reason why global OOC is such a shithole.
