Game Mechanics: Global /OOC - are its days numbered?

[Malrubius]

There is starting to be more and more noise and chatter and excitement out there about P1999, and the population of our little world here is steadily rising.

Have the devs thought about a point at which they would drop global OOC and go all-out-classic, per-zone, OOC?

It would be a first (afaik) for an eq emu server, and would make a helluva statement.

My feeling is that there are few enough zones (being classic) and enough players (being more popular every day) that it makes sense to pull the trigger and make OOC be per-zone only. If not now, soon anyway.

Whaddya all think?
