Who cares what people think? Its your project. Make a decision and go with it. If you think its time, then do it. You're going to have people bitching either way.

You are correct in that I can do whatever I want. I still do care what people think though!

If it fits with the vision, remove it.

This is true, but I think the more ways to find a group the better. Getting groups in this game is key to make it enjoyable. And when you're not in a guild or don't know anyone else on the server personally, global OOC is just another way to interact.

Global OOC ruins the whole point. Everquest is supposed to be a true sandbox world. Global OOC makes it possible to talk to people on another continent. Could you do this with tells? Easily. Did you have to know that person? Of course. EQ isn't about always being able to find a group no matter where you are, its about making the connections to be ABLE to find a group later on.

After reading the arguments i wish i could change my vote. From No to Yes

The only problem I have with global chat is that it turns into cesspool of a /b/ chat room and/or debate forum between bored lonely men arguing about stupid shit.

Other than that, I don't mind it.

Voted for Yes. The spam is getting crazy.

voted yes, CLASSIC AHOI!

Don't forget that the server only has about 300 people on during the off hours.
