no need for it to say anything about location, mostly just for bragging rights.

If you want to brag, just make a /shout macro like you did and spammed in every chunk in Vangaurd.

We dont need Yellow Text for that.

Darwoth shouts "blahblah another vile criminal has been slain by Darwoth and the scarybadguys"

or whatever your self YT macro was [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

these blue99 people are fanatical about their classic feel. red99 will be blue99 2.0

If you don't like classic, you might consider a non classic server.

It's not 1999 either, and this isn't a game-changing "fix" - it's an upgrade and only adds much to server social dynamics. It's more of innovation over imitation

i still say give us YT with no location example ( Manacnnon has slain rogean )

indeed, however it will be fairly lackluster when they remove global ooc

classic eq deals with game content ... having yellow text has NOTHING to do with it being classic or game content ... it gives the server a heads up on pvp ... and for the tenth time encourages the reason for a PVP server .................................

Player vs Player combat.

Palemoon youve obviously never played on a server with YT

In the very beginning of Rallos Zek (and beta for that matter), a global yellow text message fired off if you beat someone in a duel. It was quickly removed.

Lets compromise then.

Give global yellow test for DUELS only. But by Kunark that too goes away because it was abused to send profanity and vile stuff globally. (kinda like global ooc now).

So yes, I have.

Oh, and that also reminds me, even Shadowbane, "THE" pvp game of the last decade, only had pvp messages in channels below global (like guildchat, siege channel chat, etc).

Global YellowText is suitable for haxbox only.

Keep red99 classic.

Zone wide YT is a good compromise, pals. Lets you keep up w/ how your side is doing in a mass PvP fight w/o having to listen to people cry in vent etc.

Also, puts fervent anti-PKers on alert that someone's about to take their spell $.

Surprise is awesome element in classic pvp. I don't want players to know who and how many I've been killing in the zone. Nor do I want my chat filled up with shit because some happy ass is camping a player 8 levels below him just to get his name in lights.
