GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[Malrubius]

Voted Yes. Its a classic server.

/OOC is useless as it is currently implemented.

/AUCTION would be far more useful per-zone. Right now -> "Oooh, that's a good deal. You're where??? nm."

Yoooou are going to put a halt to my porting business

Im new, lvl 15, not in a guild and havent made any real contacts here. I leveled in Blackburrow where we regularly had people to group with. I uprooted and ventured to Freeport because it was the trading hub of Norrath. I hunt in Oasis like everyone else in the area and I have done just fine not using the world ooc or auc. I may be a newbie to P99, but I voted "yes" because I also tire of having to read through the lines of garbage to see someone say something meaningful. Pull the trigger, Nilbog. Its time.

I've made quite a few posts opposing turning off global channels, but I want to clarify my stance.

I would absolutely LOVE to see the server have enough people for global channels to be turned off, I would LOVE to see EC tunnel return, I would love to have the feeling of isolation vs. social immersion that comes with going from secluded areas to bustling cities, but I do not believe the population is at that point yet. During peak hours it's probably close, but peak hours only make up a small part of the day. I don't see how anything could happen other than people congregating around small handfuls of zones even worse than it happens now.

So, as it is now, I firmly oppose turning the channels off, BUT I would 100% LOVE to see the population get a bit higher to where turning them off would be more viable.

I'd say this is all but a done deal at this point.

I already posted but was reading the /ooc firestorm over all this. Only one point really seems valid and its the same one President brought up earlier. I just wonder what a lack of global /ooc will do to already uninhabited zones. It's not something I have seen addressed up to this point.

Probably make them like classic. Feel out in the wilderness? Working as intended.

At no time in classic were NK/EK/WK, all of Qeynos, Erudion and Toxx COMPLETELY EMPTY like they were for me Sunday night when I ran through them.

People are intoxicated by the thought of classic, but they keep forgetting how much of a population difference there is.

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
