Removal of OOC, why it is a bad idea

[Eslade]

How about you can't participate in ooc unless you turn off /roleplay and /anon? People spouting off in ooc more than likely don't want to be found.

This is just another bad decision for the server.

Would it be hard to code in a General chat channel like EQ live has now? a channel u can join once u log in but not mandatory? not sure how hard it would be.

How about optional global LFG and Auction channels?

[Kergan]

In theory removing global ooc and adding a lfg channel, while also making auction global would work...but in reality people would just use it to spam and talk shit like they do in ooc now. Without enforcement of rules on a global channel it'll just turn to shit like ooc.

I just played like 5 hours straight and didnt even pay attention to OOC, i dont think it matters that much. But see OP.

[Kergan]

I have OOC quarantine into it's own window and that helps. But I'm sure I also miss some auctions I'd be interested in. Honestly the only time I look is when a guildmate gets YT'd to see the 18 people saying "pras".

I don't see why this is an issue. Global OOC is needed on a server with such a low population. If you don't like it, click on options and hide it.

[Kergan]

Not really that simple. The issue is the toxicity of ooc drives players away. It is still needed for them to find groups and trade items. So optional or not you're essentially forcing them into the cesspool.

Unfortunately there's no way this server can thrive without a global chat. When the pop hits 400 or so then we can but until then people just going to have to be men about ooc and deal with it
