Next it'll be illegal to jump people on mobs, will the pussification ever end?

We have the forums for selling items. Not to mention with area based OOC, you'll still have plenty of people to talk to - cities become the new "EC tunneL" where you auction your stuff, or look to buy stuff. Alternatively, you can be a traveling salesman, going from OOC area to OOC area to peddle your wares. The areas are of a decent size and link similar zones together.

If you guys don't like that solution, clean up global OOC.

I don't think I have ever sold anything on the forums, with multiple threads. Besides some people don't care for the forums in any aspect.

Global OOC is a must, especially trying to find a port if you got a group waiting on you etc

Red sends us more bloomin' onions every month [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

These extra onions afford them the ability to spout dirty words and harass asshats.

Is this really true? Does red donate more then blue or did I misread this? I stopped donating a couple months ago. Not really feeling it anymore.

Then clean up global OOC if you don't want area/city ooc.

Does anyone actually know what area OOC is? Or are we all just saying it's bad because it's different?

Though I suppose it might make this a bit more feasible if all ooc suspensions could be put on a timer so that you don't have to manually go back and unsuspend.

Suspend swiftly, suspend once and be done with it.

Problem is I can't just remove their OOC ability - I have to full on suspend the account. I'm not opposed to doing this and have done so in the past, but really the only way the community is going to improve is if everyone works to change attitudes like Andis'. I can suspend the entire server for a week and it's still going to be a shit fest if people don't start working to police one another.

I believe I had spoken to the guild leaders regarding handing down their own punishments for people that step out of line in OOC or on the forums. Has anyone been docked loot, raid attendance, DKP, or been suspended for raiding? If not, that's a serious problem, because people have definitely crossed the line in both guilds, and should have been punished. I can only do so much babysitting during the day, and I'm not a huge fan of pouring over 18 hours of /ooc text after work and all my other CSR stuff every night. Sometimes I happen to catch people step out of line, but more often than not it filters through the cracks. This is why I need the community's help, especially guild leaders/officers and community leaders that people look up to.

You guys are the ones people will listen to without needing to get suspended. If you go to your peers and you say "look guys, the staff is right, we really need to clean this up if we want more people to play here. So let's get to it!" you're going to have much more clout and your statement will hold much more weight as it's not coming from the CSR staff.

It was a joke dude =P. We don't even really track where/who donations come from.

Sounds awful. Instead of being able to form groups or /auction while you are doing something it sounds like I need to be logged in my wizard porting around the world spamming /ooc messages.

Pretty sure there was a post describing what zones are linked.

As a near-guildless non-factor this affects me probably more than someone with a vast array of guildies and 3-year box pals. Doubly so since I'm unable to port.

[Sektor]

Lol I figured you were joking. Would of made blue look real bad if that were the case.

Aussie OOC banned Jody for 3 days. But I could still log in and play. So I sense some fallacies in this statement.
