Global OOC / Yellow Text – Global OOC is/was/will be a bad idea, just as it was on VZTZ. I know a lot of people “play for the ooc” but imo, that’s not how u play EQ, and the rest of the server generally doesn’t give a shit, sorry pals, take it to tells, or, grow a pair of balls and go to the zone with your enemies and talk shit to them in the zone. Global OOC had to be turned off LOTSA times for various reasons (garbage content, extreme spam to try and crash the players, etc), Furthermore there were quite a few players on VZTZ that had their OOC privileges revoked. ATTN PLAYERS, remember OOC is like a drivers license, IT’S A PRIVLEGE, NOT A RIGHT. As far as Yellow Text goes – firstly STAFF, you WANT to be able to see zone wide yellow text so you know exactly when and where PvP is popping off, and exactly where to go and who to watch at a moment’s notice. As far as Yellow Text for players (if it’s possible to do this even I’m not sure), if YT is server wide, it will be used to grief… but, if you can keep YT as player visible only as a zone wide feature everyone wins and everyone is happy. (basically GMs see YT server wide, but players see YT as zone wide).


I don't understand this argument, can't you just make a new chat screen and have it not show world ooc?

I like reading the trash talking when I'm regaining my mana....
