GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

Anyone else find it extremely hard to swallow that approx. 80% of the active P99 players took the time to vote on this?

Shennanigans. Probably on both sides.

This -- probably on both sides. I do of course know of several people who run multiple accounts and thus would be able to vote multiple times, in addition to the "ip exempt".

IP exemption has nothing to do with this forum ...

auction can be turned off/on too? Not sure what you're saying.

also lets force everyone to use velious ui and lowest resolutions

see what I did there

OOOhhh I see what you did, you over exaggerated an example to make yours seem remotely valid in the context..

Why ride a horse with four feat when you can fly a horse with four fucking wings and feat!!??? ... Look, i can do it too.. and using the, "just turn it off," comment just shows how little you know global chat effects this server entirely, I can turn it off but the entire server still has it..

Forcing a UI on an entire server would not change anything about the sever, nothing would change other then the clients outlook of the game. Forcing no more Global OOC/Auc would change countless things..

Zones will be more populated because not everyone will depend on /ooc for their grouping anymore.. staying in WK will seem a little more attractive when you think of how long it will take to get to Oasis when u have to wait for a porter to happen to drop in.. Porting to certain areas will seem less viable, you can't just /ooc WTB port to here to here.. anymore.

Life in zones will seem more localized, people will be using Shout a lot more often, each zone will almost become its own chat room, instead of the entire server using /ooc.

Items will have more varied price ranges (you won't have a globalized place to do your price checks anymore.. It may cost 20p in FP but in Qeynos they could be selling for 30p..) If you are selling a Sword for 50p in Qeynos, someone else could be selling one in FP for 25p, but the guy buying the sword in Qeynos would have no idea of that. It creates the market that EQ had, and the one I loved, it was way more realistic... and if you wanted to sell your damn FBSS you had to work to sell it, not sell it WHILE camping another fucking FBSS. (DESTROYS ECONOMY!!!)

Qeynos and zones like that would be used as minor trading areas more often, also because of the lack of ways to getting around.

Guilds will become more reliable, right now /ooc is the servers community, were all forced into this global chat room, newbs don't need guilds because they have /ooc to ask anything they could possibly need to know.

In general, if you don't understand why this needs to be done, look at every mmo currently, none have a totally global chat because it destroys so many aspects of an MMO. If this server wants to be a classic EQ server it needs to get rid of global chat completely and ignore these people who think classic was PoP.

IP exempt does not allow u to vote twice, just checked.

Its per house it seems.

Forum accounts and EQemu accounts are completely separate... How anyone would think they're in any way related is beyond me.

I would like to see auction left global, ooc to be nerfed (in some way) and an LFG channel to be implemented.

I'm sorry, but I feel like not enough people use the LFG tool.
Even during peak times I can have LFG up forever and I get no responses till I do a:
/ooc LFG

[ryuut1]

why can't people just turn off ooc and auction and use shout as their zone channels? then ALL would be pleased!

[mitic]

devs srsly, we have already 37 pages within some days + other endless threads in this matter.

just disable them non-classic serverwide channels, case closed.

let the playerbase handle this by themself and allow playercreated channels instead (ie for pickupraids, auction, new players etc)
