It's pretty silly do take a poll if you are going to do whatever you want anyway. There's about 5 threads in the general chat that have been going on for months that sum up every thought posted here.
What is the point of you even saying this?

Cool I guess. Some people want to respond to a post made by a developer.

It's silly for you to be silly.

Its an opinion poll. Just like any other internet poll, it shouldn't be taken as a voting booth. In the end, we'll go with what feels right. This is a way for everyone to get their thoughts out there.
It's good that is stated up front. Some places don't value people's opinions and thus suffer greatly.

In the end, global ooc/auc on or off, people will STILL play and the server POP will STILL go up.

I will restate what I said earlier.

Look at the peoples post count against it. They are 1 , 2 and 3's. They are making new accounts to vote no. They are making new accounts to state their opinions under different names again and again. There is no argument to keeping ooc besides you want a huge chat room. In this chat you can say perverted things, political things, harass people, and get attention etc etc.

There will be more people making friends within their zones for help. Within their guilds.
There is a /who all . There is also the /lfg tool for group and ports.
In my memory the druids and wizards would port to each ring / spire and also bind in popular zones. Than they would /shout selling ports to bb , nk etc etc.
No I just don't post here cause these forums are shit.

i read somethin earlier today like "when This and That came, everquest got easy, thats why i quit" - i know many people thinking that way and the only PRO to global ooc i read here is to make things easier... we dont want things easy, or else we would play WOW or such..

i see so many reasons to NOT have it global, but only one reason to keep it, and that is in short form "make it easier" .. do not want [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I voted for global ooc/auction. But id take it back if there was a /join general channel or /trade channel to join. Not sure if that is classic or not though I started in luclin era.

I voted yes. 700+ population is way more than necessary to remove it. I'm tired of seeing the same 25 people talk every night about nothing of any value, and yet they use the ports and lfg as reasons to keep it (I get groups and ports just fine without it). Trying to sell things is really annoying with global auction because you get tells from lowbies uninterested in the item far away asking how much is it worth.

But even if I wasn't constantly annoyed by both global chats I would vote yes. What is provided here is an emu classic everquest server and in classic everquest there was no global chat. The guy who is too lazy to look up how to get keyz in Paineel and there isn't someone there to help him, doesn't get to make an evil erudite.

This. The game should be completely unplayable by the lazy , the flaky, and the self-entitled. I don't mind losing that demographic of players one bit, even if we end up with 50 players left on the server. Which we won't of course, because the most vocal proponents will continue to play the game and find something to complain about every step of the way...

It is not classic Jesikah, though the /join function was great for CLASS discussions, pally/tank etc.. We used that extensive cross servers for the lead of their classes to discuss problems / bugs etc.

tbh, it shouldn't be voted on - but i guess that's just me, the server is going for the current state of the game, be it classic, kunark, or velious- so hell yeah, out with the shit that dont' belong. (that is saying that it can be changed) i really believe that if folks are gonna leave because of it being removed. They won't be missed- Go back to wow, ultima online trammel land, or maybe try out EZ server i heard you start with epics there...

hey hey /rant off
