I think most proponents of the global chat channels understand very well why some don't want them. I think most of us even agree with you, but feels the population is still too low to support it. At this stage I believe it's a very real concern that the removal of global chat will have a severe impact on the economy and the social interaction - especially during US off-peak hours, where many of us not from North America play.

^^ This.

Unfortunately the zealots on _both_ sides lost sight of this on page 1 and went off attacking people, and generally being raging asshats.

Could something be done where it turns on or off depending on how many people are on? Like 500 or more global is off, and 499 or less it's on (or whatever numbers seem appropriate)?

I agree with something like this however I can see how it would be frustrating when the server is right at that switch limit and it goes back and forth between zone and global. However if this concept can be tweaked, I really like Soup's idea.

Man, this poll is so freakin close. Can we really call it if the total difference between votes is a mere 1%?


someone could easily just spam create accounts and vote to sway it one way or another, but regardless of that...


1%!!!!!!!!?!?!?

I'm fairly certain this has been for the past 2 days, for both sides. This is why internet polls do not ever decide anything.

The replies here are far more valuable to me than the poll results.

Global channels is a minor convenience, LFG/Auctions/Noob questions, for an overwhelming amount of bs arguments stemming from the r&f forums that lead to gms having to tell people to chill out.

Forcing people to sit in ec to sell instead of nfp, doing a /who all lfg and /who all <zone>, sounds a HELL of a lot better than the constant spam of 5-6 people screaming at each other over shit thats already plastered all over the forums.

Not to forget, no global channels no more fucking racist bullshit spam from our angry friend

Its definitely nice to be able to see lfg and auction information as well as advice in one location but its almost impossible to catch those good nuggets of information with all of the arguments about what politician is the best/worst and why, why I hate like this drug and/or why my opinion is far better than yours that chokes out anything useful and completely renders ooc useless.

I found out about this EQ emulator as was excited. I got a few others to start and had hopes to return to and support a game where a good challengewas offered and an awesome community could be found fostered by EQ's need for an interdependent society. However, ooc chat in here seems as bad as Wow and has been very disheartening. It seems to spew more hate than anything else.

People say turn of ooc but then you miss any chance to catch a group or auction that's offered there if you can filter through everything else to find it. It would rock if there were separate channels. Then I could see lfg and auctions and go ahead and turn off occ and leave that to people who want to sling arrows at one another.

allow IP exemptions for seller accounts in the EC or FP area?
on live, a good portion of the sellers in FP were 2nd boxes set up just to sell, while they were playing on their main character. I would hate to just sit in FP spamming for sells, seems the economy will suffer some from this.

Are you suggesting IP exemptions should be made so people can have a second boxed seller? Your post doesn't make much sense..
