Like all of the changes that occured post classic eq, that slowy destroyed the game we love? Like global channels, etc.etc.? If that is what you mean then yes, I hate change as well : D

@nilbog

serverwide chat = not classic.

chat channels = serverwide chat.

chat channels = not classic.

Is Project1999 going to be a classic server, or not?

There is another side to this story. The people that do not play because there is ooc chat they don't want their kids to see.
Agree, when I play with my son (who's 8) I have to make sure OOC and auction are turned off, which is too bad, since it takes away from his classic first time experience with the game (although I have to admit I can't get him OUT of P1999 now!)

Because you can't have integral parts of the game included in a function that people are just supposed to turn off if they don't like it. If you haven't even read the thread stop talking and just vote.
I've read the thread and voted no. You can turn it on when you need to use it or use shout to be zone specific in your chatting.

You CAN have parts of the game that you can turn off if you don't like it. Aside from the obvious of global /ooc and /auc, I'll say the bad word filter. You can play with it on so that you don't see curses. You can turn off /auc and /ooc when you don't use them, and use /shout for your zone specific needs. So shuttup and quit trolling with your bad self.

Also, you're a stupid-face.



...you stupid-face.

How will that change anything? People will still be yelling obscenities in zones, it might douse the issue a bit, but certainly won't nix it.

If some asshat is yelling in a zone, /ignore works nicely. Ignoring all of OOC isn't tenable nor desirable since for legit purposes it's very useful.

I vote to remove global OOC/Auction.

Chat channels? Seriously? If people want all of those nice non-classic features then that is their own personal preference, and they have every right to want to use them. Lucky for them, there are plenty of non classic servers that are available, why compromise on this one?

Almost as much as I hate the promise of change with no follow through *cough*democrats*cough*


oops, wrong forum for that...
Yeah, I hate that almost as much as intentionally starting a war to eliminate the forces your father made an alliance with and weaponized 2 decades ago.

oops, wrong forum for that...

I'm a new player to the server and haven't played on eqemu in at least 4 years, and after about 5 minutes of listening to the trash talking and children whining and crying in OOC, I'm 100% behind returning it to zone-wide...

EC tunnel/gfay just aren't the same with server-wide OOC/auction. Part of the fun of selling/buying items was meeting the people face-to-face. Convenience=/=classic EQ...

You still have to meet them face-to-face in order to give them the money and get the items.
