No, dude, I think the only thing people are discussing here is chat.


This has nothing to do with griefing or training.

Global ooc makes griefing and training more entertaining for the griefer...

If you arent prepared for griefing and training, regardless if ooc is in or not, then you shouldnt be playing a red server? Your logic is completely flawed.

Turn on OOC, if you dont want to read it then mute it, fucking simple as that. Server is at 100 people online, while blue has 700. I mean 100? dude thats so low for a server with the staff and hardware it has, im sorry.

There is truth to this, what is the fun in killing someone 257 times in a row while they are afk at work if you have no audience to brag to?


Global OOC will only promote more griefing.

Im not concerned about people bragging about kills, that would be just fine.

Its just part of this community is utterly idiotic and would start to spam idiotic stuff all day long.

You know the saying "this is why we cant have nice things"

better off getting people used to using the IRC channel and making a sticky about this so that more people get on it.

The IRC channel would suffice to help people find groups if it is properly advertised.

Wouldnt want people new to the server log on to some idiot spamming "Eat cocks you n*gger loving sluts"

Also, global OOC wasnt classic (I know, many things on this server arent), it will introduce all sorts of things that shouldnt be there, like a group of gankers in SK that is broadcasting so and so player just left the zone, so someone in NK or lake rathe can actively look for him.

The advantages to me arent worth the negatives.

Rex, on a pvp server you cannot afford to turn off global ooc. As soon as it is enabled you are forced to read the rantings of cast and naez in order to gain the information necessary to be competitive in pvp. No human being should ever be subjected to that.

100 people on the red box is an accomplishment at this point by the way. After the failings of the previous iterations anything above 25 people is progress.

Jirr, we can keep making the red server wear a blue dress and we can see how that goes. Polling is a very fair method of measuring what players want. Go look at the global OOC poll results as they stand currently. This isn't even up for debate.

Someone trolls OOC, you /ignore them or just /filter ooc (to get the exact same experience as we have now, which is nothing)

It is no different than these forums or IRC. You arguing against this is like saying the forums should be turned off.

Also, 100 people is not this server's average nightly population, it's closer to 150 (as it has been for the past few months).

Polling here isn't too accurate considering that everytime a troll gets a temp ban they just make another forum account.

How many accounts do you think folks like Cast and Steaks have to throw at any poll they want?

Stop duplicate forum accounts and polls would be relevant.

The bottom line is this: I have 40+ hours played already on my current toon. I can count on one hand the number of lines of OOC I have seen since I started. I have not seen a single auction.

If you are all up in arms against the mere idea of global channels because of the big bad scary trolls that you can ignore easily anyway, then you tell me how we fix this problem.
