It is the year 2010. People generally have computers powerful enough to run EQ in windowed mode while having an IRC client up. The IRC #project1999 channel can replace global OOC if everyone really wanted it to. Yes, it's a tad more inconvenient to switch out of window and ask/respond to something, but since obviously it's game-breaking for some of you to not have some sort of global chat, I would think that would be a minor inconvenience.
Other than that:
/who all unrest
/who all oasis
/who all crushbone
/who all LFG
/who all 10 20 LFG
send tells, make friends, stop being anti-social, maintaining a good rep is important now
Use these forums for WTS/WTB... you don't even have to be online to advertise!
There are workarounds... once people get desperate enough, they'll get used more often.
