GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[moebius8]

the only answer that makes the most sense is removing the global ooc and replacing it with private chat channels. People can join or not as the channel creator and themselves see fit.
ooc/auction is returned to zone wide status and the 1/2 of the server that enjoys the activity can run from zone to zone looking for one another as they seem to yearn for.
they will also be able to hawk their wares for hours at a time in a single zone instead of gaining exp wont that be awesome?

the rest of us will use a better way because we dont see the glory in running around from zone to zone or standing in which ever zone wins the "lets sell our junk" designator for hours at a time trying to unload that high quality bear skin.
different strokes for different folks and everyone gets what they want with private chat channels.

this is the attitude i dont understand. what does it matter if people you arent associating with are talking in a private channel you have no interest in joining?

it would be none of your business anyhow

no i dont get how my talking to someone in a private global channel your not invited too and wouldn't be interested in joining if you were has anything whatsoever to do with your game play
.
it would be same if i were running an irc window over the eq screen, its just more convenient to have it all in the client. running several different apps to achieve the same end seems like a useless pain in the ass when we already have the functionality built in.

if i had an irc screen open would you still whine like a little girl because me and my friends were talking to one another and you couldn't understand why?

because it wasn't in the original game and if it is something that can be changed then change it so it is the way it was. get it-got it? doubt it...


small insert here- no i wouldn't cry like a baby, it's not the devolopers job to make the game more convient for you, it's their job to make it classic, our we speaking greek? didn't you read what all the developers have said?

It's not the fact that they have a problem with what you're talking about. But it does ruin the classic experience.

Back in classic each zone would usually have their own conversation going on (if there was one happening...)

Now the ONLY problem I have with private chat is: The talkers will be talkers, no matter how. If a private chat channel is available the people that talk nonstop will be talking on the private channels which leads zone-wide talk to a minimum...) This creates extremely boring and dry conversations that weren't like classic...

Basically if there is no form of zone-wide communication there will be much more individual zone talk, which is nice but will make groups much harder to find.

Ehh, I could say - "I don't get why other people porting themselves around the world at will with PoK stones has anything whatsoever to do with your gameplay. If you don't like the PoK stones, don't use them. It has no effect on you."

See the problem with that? It is a multiplayer game. What you do *does* affect me, and what I do *does* affect you.

In short, the existence of global channels affects the game world I play in - whether I use them or not. Just like PoK stones, in-game maps, monsters, spells, armor, weapons, good players, bad players, groups, soloers, oceans, land, swamp, lava, string, dung, music, sound, and tiny daggers.

That being said, I personally don't care much either way about private channels. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I just think that that particular argument doesn't hold any water.

What Malrubius said. It has nothing to do with you talking to people, its how it effects the game, and if you cannot understand that, then I don't know what else to say. As far as private channels go, you might as well just say global channels, because they are all the same thing....
