Global ooc/auction return to zone-wide

[Thrymm]

woot!

Purist suck. By their own definition they are unable to be flexible and accord anyone else with a differing opinion the possibility of being correct.

I'm sad you decided to side with the purists even though , as per your own poll the users of your server 50% of the population would have preferred you kept global /ooc & /auction. Had I been in town and known that a deciding vote was being taken I surely would have made time to share my opinion with you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But hey, I suppose if I don't like it, I can always make my own server and sit there (quietly) by myself. Oh wait. I'm doing that right now, aren't I? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

ya def not a fan of the channels being taken away, but just 1 day of running around it just feels like a dead server now. I know its not a dead server, but running through 10+ zones earlier and saw 1 ooc chat. I know people were getting fed up with the drug/religion/politics/And you love it crap. Big deal turn off OOC if you didn't like it. you know you had that option right? Being a cleric sitting on my ass 80% of the time it was at least entertaining sometimes. But people may say "spoolie why not just talk to your group and be social?" You know what even now 10 years later some people just are not that talkative in groups so it was always nice being able to talk to the people that were in the OOC. We are not the population of classic eq, and as much as you want to keep it completely classic somethings are just better updated with the times. There is no reason to cut ourselves off from one another. I seriously think it was a little to early to be taking them away. just my 2 copper pieces

I warned of this last week but I was ignored and called names etc. but whatever I love playing here so I've turned off ooc for good.

Well no shit the zones are dead. There are probably an average of 5 people per zone now, any idiot could have seen that happening. I like the change, I feel it wasn't the right time though. The population should have been a bit bigger in my opinion, but, what can ya do? The only thing this change does, is makes the game slower, but isn't that what made it great? The fact that you struggled to do things at times, but ultimately you prevailed.

I didn't want, any--thing else, but when I think think ABOUT this I touch myself!

I have a window I can delete off my screen and stop minimizing when I login!

Multiple chat windows were not classic.

making it harder to communicate may be classic, its still retarded. If you play non peak you may as well find another game/server because the game just became even more suck for you. would it be technically feasible to put in globals during the hours of say 10PM to 7AM est during none peak hours when it will be freaking impossible to do anything unless you solo?

I wish we had global auction. Now I have to go waste time sitting in EC instead of playing. I'll now only be able to buy/sell to 50-100 people in EC instead of the 600+ online.
The only thing this helps is spam. It also makes the game seem less alive as ooc is almost silent. Live had thousands online at a time in 1999/2000 not just 300-650.

exactly, now i have to sit in EC and hope someone has an item im needing, just to waste time when i could be gaining levels. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This action makes me happy, and more likely to play.

I know right? Isn't it unfortunate that not all of us live off welfare checks and live unemployed? Then we could play Everquest all day long!
