Global OOC is great on a sub-500 population server. Makes things feel more alive and it's accurate to the MUD roots of the game.
I never saw much griefing of noobs happening, and there was a whole "starter guild" on the server anyway for those people to band together. Yellow text made kills more exciting to me and I think that aspect can add extra tension to the gameplay, because if you are trying to secretly camp an area and get killed, then now you've given away your zone. The combination of global yellow text and OOC actually lets the server call out the griefers, it doesn't promote more of it on the whole. It's not as if griefers need the yellow text info anyway, to know where the most populated leveling spots will usually be to hunt fresh meat.

Did you start playing red 99 in 2019 or something? Baseless post.
I can assure you than zero people saw a PVP death and thought "Ahh, that scum bag "Raypzem" is in WK right now killing honest levelers. I better go there and fight him! I've been looking for that guy! What a silly post.
1. Global OOC not classic, instant disqualification from belonging on server
2. YT not classic, instant disqualification from belonging on server
3. Global OOC makes whole server feel like red msgboard
4. YT makes people afraid to die because of global public shaming.
5. Global OOC without YT makes people afraid to die because of global public shaming (guy will do his own /OOC LOL KILLED THIS GUY HAHAHAHHAA in lieu of YT
These things didn't ruin the server but they made it worse.
