new global ooc rules?

[Humerox]

It makes no sense on a PvP server to severely limit OOC. Eunomia doesn't know anything about red and obviously doesn't really want to.

We NEED RED guides for red.

Eunomia just doesn't understand the dynamics. The garbage and clutter need to be gotten rid of. But not at the cost of hindering growth and community. Red community doesn't operate in the same way as blue. That simple.

I accidentally ooc'd and spoke with Eunomia. Seems nice and wants to do the right thing. But wanting and doing are different animals.

It seems doubtful that Eunomia had much to do with this decision. Most likely she volunteered or was told to be the bad guy and enforce the new policy. With the other staff members being silent about this all we can really do is speculate about all of this. To me it kinda seems like maybe this and the recent forum moderation people are complaining about may have something to do with the Daybreak agreements. How open were GMs and devs in the past, about policy changes?

If they stay tight-lipped, that might be significant.

I do not envy Eunomia.

The thing is ooc is tame compared to forum chat.. like REALLY tame..

also there is a /ignore command that eq put in by default... so its pretty ridiculous to have someone sit there manually telling people to not talk, so people can /ignore them without having to type /ignore someone.

and thirdly, make a fricken global /auc channel if you are gonna change the policy.. don't threaten suspensions for people using a channel thats being used as intended when it was created.

Whole thing is just totally nuts

Occam's razor. I highly doubt Daybreak cares about a 300 person server, when there is a 1300 person server to care about. The more likely explanation is a sleep deprived person decided to take out their anger on a server they hate. In interest of solidarity other GM's are unlikely to comment or reverse spur of the moment decisions not in writing on any server rules posts on any part of these forums.

Its so ill thought, i really hope its eunomia alone that initiated this

Not even a pinned post to try to frame what is allowed or not, people trying to talk LNS in ooc getting trolled, not applicable, etc, etc

[TacoSmasher]

There is no doubt some people needed to take a OOC vacation but this is truly harming the community IMO. Even though there are a lot of trolls OOC is an important part of this server, discussion and some trash talk for pvp was fun. Current moderation of OOC is far too harsh

[Battlelore]

Now I know why the server has been dead this weekend. Not fun for unguilded folks.

[iruinedyourday]

the thing that sux on a community level, is if people were offended, like if they were petitioning, 'ow my fricken ears' about global OOC

why didnt the staff post and say, hey guys we are going to try to clean up global ooc - so try to tone it down a notch, if you cant, then well start issuing suspensions for X voliations.. then LIST the violations!

It would have been respectful of the comunity, it would have been easier on all the staff.. it would have been better for everyone...

but hey, on how to run CSR...

lol

[Glugg]

also lol, i ate a 90 day ooc suspension for saying the word "dick" once.

just hand out 90 day suspensions left and right to all these tards who can't shut up for 20 seconds and never have anything nice to say, which is a lot less "family friendly" than one lonely reference to male genitalia.
