GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

IMO EQ was ruined by making things "easy" thats why I left, who knows the population may grow even faster if things where more Classic, thats why we are all here in the first place is'nt it?

Prekunark.. there were not, actually tons. 2000ish tops, prekunark.

Average 1000-1500? We are thinking for the future, server has 700 now. The fact that we are even discussing numbers again means we are heading in the right direction.

The original arguments for this when the server first opened were.. there's only 200 people! We must wait for the 500!

Now, its 700, and people are asking for more. If you were here or not, its funny. :P When will it be enough?

[Malrubius]

Voted Yes. Its a classic server.

/OOC is useless as it is currently implemented.

/AUCTION would be far more useful per-zone. Right now -> "Oooh, that's a good deal. You're where??? nm."

NEVER!

No but really you're never going to be able to please both parties. I believe the solution I posted and storm has made a thread about for filtering to certain zone sets would make a decent negotiation fix and hopefully somewhat please both sides.

Heres a possible thought. No clue how much coding or if even possible this is, but have "zone sets" say all the deserts have thier own channel, freeport/commons/nek/neriak/lava have thier own channel etc etc..It would cut down on the GLOBAL ooc and not limit to just 1 zone. EC tunnel would still exist because youd have to be in that zones set.

I like this idea.

Well, I think almost everyone agrees at some number the global thing should go, the issue what is that number?

Really there's no way to just theorize in your head and really come up with what is a reasonable number, the only way to find out is to get there. That's why I think a very reasonable idea would be to turn the global chat off for a few days or a week or whatever then have another poll and see if it reflects the same sentiments this one does.

[Mordachai]

I can't wait until global chat is gone. The sooner the better.

I agree, people are here because this is a Classic Server. Think about it, we peaked at 650 players last Thursday. Monday night we peaked at around 720. The server is increasing in size by nearly 100 players per week.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 1000 active players within one month.
