Would you like to see chat channels brought to server early

[Murdatime]

Yes or no?

[Kassel]

why do you think it matters what the players want?

[Murdatime]

well i would think so lol but if not oh well no harm in asking :)

[Rais]

Dont think its any different than hide corps command!

[guineapig]

Well we use vent on raids so wouldnt use it much even if it was enabled.
The guild and raid windows on the other hand..... But don't hold your breath.

RUINING MY KUNARK IMMERSION








p.s. voted yes.

[Gorgetrapper]

Same reason serverwide ooc was removed and should be the same reason chat channels shouldn't be put in.

[Akim]

I have hard enough time putting up with the people ingame that I can only guess use EQ to vent their depression and hormonal rages threw trolling; trying to ruin others game play; all around being dicks that lack any amount of respect. It's sad really; I think you all know the type of players I am talking about, it makes the game discouraging for newcomers.

[stormlord]

I voted yes because with kunark the amount of land area increased substantially. Population is just too low, in my view, to make up for the spread. Besides, they eventually added channels anyway.

I loved this game before luclin. Don't get me wrong. There're so many ways a person can look at this and sum up an answer. There's no single solution. Just a set of circumstances.

Ultimately, if you don't like it, you can leave and make your own server or mmorpg. Freedom rocks.

RUINING MY KUNARK IMMERSION

Part of Classic eq is only being able to talk to people in your zone. If people can't understand that, then I guess they never will. Not trying to be offensive or anything...... I just remember fighting for so long to get global ooc removed, and when it finally was, the EC tunnel was born, and so was classic eq : D I think the pop would have to drop back down to 300 for something like this to happen.

The best thing about chat channels is you can choose to never join any automatically. If you don't want them, you can turn them off personally.

oh god i heard that argument a ton when we had the discussion about global ooc. "If you dont like global ooc just turn it off" ....*sigh*

How about that: If you dont like ench charm being OP, just dont use it! ooh wait

Serverwide OOC was enough to make me vote no on this poll. It made it easier to LFG, but it's not worth all of the spam and BS.

[Rasah]

I voted no, but I would vote yes if the chat channels only worked in the zone you are in. That way if you are on a raid, and classes want to have their own side discussion, you could do it without spamming OOC and guild chat.

If you made the chat channels serverwide, EC tunnel would die.

[tristantio]

You guys know you could just use IRC right?

[Coril]

More opt in-abilities for communication = more ability for players to bond socially and discuss the game.

Given that everyone could log into irc, I don't see that this is anything but a convenience. If you're worried that it creates server-wide comm, then just cap a chat channel size.

[Rayge]

more ability for players to bond socially and discuss the game.



big lol @ social bonding and game discussion.... ah, to be young and naive..

[moklianne]

why do you think it matters what the players want?

Voted no, it shouldn't matter.

If all of you want an experience as close to classic as possible, then you would want the devs to try as hard as possible to match the original patch timeline.

[Swish]

Also voted no.

Famously on my old servers, the chat channel I remember was the trade channel. Lets not kill the EC tunnel shall we? Love it there :)

[khanable]

voted no.

will be the death of ec

[Ingrum]

Hell no!

Indeed, this would ruin EC.

[Arclyte]

No

/w all lfg is sufficient

[Hmotzart]

I vote no.

Reason: Let us not give the trolls a place to GROAN to everyone cause someone stole there mob BLA BLA BLA took there camp BLA BLA BLA.. Please let them deal with it without the rest of us having to read the BS.

I know, I know, turn it off if I don't like it..
IMO go to another EMU if you don't like p99's classic feel..

Nuff said.

[apenao]

voted no.

will be the death of ec

This.

But I like the idea someone posted before about making them to only work in the same zone. It would be good for raids I guess.

[camoss16]

Early? I don't remember the chat channels being implemented until Luclin...

[Bithynia]

Yeah, wouldn't this kill EC? for the most part. Which would be lame.

[Sethius]

Any form of server wide channel without a reasonably low cap on the number of people allowed in the channel would kill EC, and if that is the case you might as well just add the bazaar and some moon cats in too and just continue ruining the classic immersion completely. That is what the death of EC does to EQ. We need a central place to go to, and that is as classic as it gets.

I support only adding stuff in the order of the original timeline of EQ. Any variance to that is not in what I understand to be the DEV's vision for this server.

I vote a big NO.

[gnomishfirework]

This would kill the game. You might as well put in instanced zones and pok books, as well as a market place.

[Extunarian]

Seems like a lot of 'no' posts but the yes votes are winning.

I would support chat channels if they only worked on Kerra Isle.
