GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[Adramelk]

Poop, is a debate raging online right now as well? Dang work.

[feanan]

good luck finding a rez or port as well. every druid and cleric will be /role or /anon.

i really wish people would stop using "its classic" as their reason for wanting it off. i think we can agree that there are enough things on this server that aren't classic that this shouldn't be a battle cry

but, yeah, this all ready sounds like a done deal, so just do it all ready

[MogManX44]

yeah, people wont shut up about it

your server must of been hugely overpopulated

That, or mine wasn't normal in number of players and was in fact rather low.

EK, WK, Qeynos area were never really that populated on my server.

And everything on Odus was a wasteland. until the hole came out.

Edit: I specifically remember starting a human and choosing freeport because qeynos was barren on my server

I'll take your word for it, but I have yet to see this. always a handfull of noobs in qeynos/ qeynos hills, (I run through quite often and sow people), because of bb's popularity. SK is always full, ther surrounding karanas have a few lvlers sometimes, but mostly port traffic and foot traffic from NK - SK. The karanas always did feel isolated in classic eq though, people primarily ran through them, didnt stick around long.

I use global auction all the time- not to sell, but to keep an eye out for things I want to buy. Global allows me to do this while soloing. I use global ooc all the time to amuse myself reading the funny and sometimes asinine things people say, and sometimes even getting into the conversation myself.

Limiting these to zone wide channels will definitely be an inconvenience to me. However, I voted: yes, limit them. It's part of the classic experience. It's not convenient, but there are a lot of things about classic EQ that aren't convenient.

Pretty much. This server spikes to 700 max with an average of 500 people and a low of 200 or less. This is less than a third of the average of classic EQ servers. Like president said, qeynos is hardly a "wilderness" zone; it was cool feeling like you're in the wilderness when you're deep in the karanas killing aviaks but it's not classic to be the only person in Qeynos or anywhere on the entire continent of Odus. we should be ready to pull the trigger on this if we get up to about double what we have now, but for now it's fine the way it is.

Also worth noting: I think everyone here knows that the moment we no longer have global ooc, we're going to have an irc channel that everyone and their mother who currently talks in ooc joins.

finding a rez or port in classic was tough, just like traveling, leveling. ect. ect. why should this aspect be changed for conveniance?
