global ooc is needed for trading, ports and LFG. without it red would feel barren.

if people complain about some trolls in /ooc I wonder how bad they're gonna cry when someone kills them on a corpse run

Can't have it both ways. Just ignore the people that are rustling you if it's really that bad (it isn't).

People who can't stand the /ooc are going to feel griefed by everything else that happens on Red server anyways

Never liked global OOC, feel like auction should be global, throttled and for ports/lfg/auctions. OOC could be continent/area based, or global in cities.

That said, Vouss makes a good point.

Which is why we have a server with a population of 300 Max. Letting the inmates run the Asylum.

One dedicated GM (to watch OOC, take care of RED ONLY petitions/Reports) will go a LONG way in making this server not a complete shitbox.

I fully agree. People will respond to this by saying those who don't like OOC should just put it in a separate window and minimize it. That does not, in fact, solve the problem. The problem is that OOC gives people a very negative impression of what people are like on Red. Most people don't want to play on a server that contains some of these OOC garbage talkers. Plus, seeing people act like jerks in OOC gives other players permission to act like jerks as well. It reinforces itself. Finding a way to separate out the garbage or perhaps eliminate a completely global chat channel would allow Red to become a better place.

No offense, but your way is like trying to cure an epidemic by hiding all the infected.

Eliminating global chat or making the OOC "LFG only" does not solve the problem. You will still have the same toxic people in your community. If you want to cure a disease you need to treat it at the source. The solution is to outcast and shun the players that make Red an undesirable box to play. Once they are off your server, you can commence having a nice OOC chat box.

Why not just use your PvP tools? If you see a toxic player in the OOC, the entire server should address it by creating a manhunt and killing his character until he is forced off the server. After a while, you'll see players behave. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
