I feel that the population of this server has increased lots since they announced the end to global ooc/auction. Population was around 600, and now that global chat is gone, I see the amount of players growing quickly (we almost hit 800 last nite I saw).
I also do like the EC tunnel being used as an auction hub, you can auction and you know that the buyer/seller is in the same zone as you are. Even when there was global auction, there were times when people who offered an item that you wanted could very well be on the other side of the world, and I really doubt that some people would like to run across the world/ask for a port to get an item (I've heard of people getting duped doing that also, running really far only to see that the seller logged or something like that).

I feel bad for people not in peak hours, though some of my best groups/trading has been off hours.
But, all we can do is advertise more - tell your friends - tell your old guilds - especially those aussies/euros.

there are some days where i can sit LFG for 10+ hours and not get a single tell regarding it, as an enchanter.
other days i get pestered non stop when im trying to solo. as its been said its hit or miss. some times its painful as fuck and you want to slit your wrists, other times its a breeze. i play both peak and offpeak (new zealand is kinda in the middle of both) and it is /MUCH/ (as much emphasis as possible) easiser during peak time for people to play. | ||

Okay, you know what Von... You keep saying "OFF PEAK, OFF PEAK!" First off, make some friends in off peak hours.
Wanna know what I did during off peak hours back on live? Tradeskills. /gems Played an alt that could solo. You keep arguing that people aren't getting what you're talking about, but it was the same in live. You would roll up about 4am EST trying to find a group, but because there were fewer players, all the groups were full up, and we wound up sitting at a zone line shouting for hours and hours. Join a larger guild, if you're american off-peak, look into Europa (I know nothing about them, just heard they're a European Time zone guild). And bloody 'ell... It seems you'll be damned to go you of your way and make friends in the time frame that you play. If you can manage that, then maybe when you're online looking for these groups, you'll have two or three people online with you that can group with you. I've been here about a week now, and I can safely say that if I logged into global chat, I would have said "Well, this isn't what I'm looking for" and logged off. | ||

Now you advertise yourself as having a lvl 5 and a lvl 6... how about you tell us your experience in off peak when you are 30 +? | |||

If you can't use the in-game tools like /who all class or /who all LFG or /who all zone and find groups or whatever in off-peak because there's just no one around, not enough players, or whatever... global ooc is not going to fix that.
If off-peak players are looking for more people for their group, they are either going to /who all LFG or not. If they do, and you aren't a member of the class they are looking for in the level range they are looking for, that would not have changed with global ooc on. If they don't, then I guess they didn't need a replacement for their group that bad, and global ooc would not have changed that either. Players' inability/reluctance to use the LFG flag aside, the only way I can think of that global ooc actually improved the ability of people to find groups was if someone was looking for a particular level/class for a group and you had a different character that fit that and you were interested in logging on and taking them up on their offer. You can't do *that* with the /who commands.

That's just one particular aspect of it. There is more to it, but I'll let the denial prone peak time players ignore that a bit longer. | |||
