GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[r0xx0r]

I believe, this server is founded on making it classic, not what's best of classic, for better or worse. IMHO: worldwide ooc/auction makes it easy. If there is something that can be changed to make it the same as it was during classic, you'll always see me vote yes for it.

Good point about item linking as well. But that's next month's crusade. One battle at a time. :P

Pretty sure item linking is client side - Rogean said earlier absolutely not going to be addressed... While it saves you a bit of time linking verus saying what the stats are, not game changing...

I like the prospect of a more dynamic economy.

I have relatively small windows on my ui (although i do have 5 of them) and with the spam fest lately where it's impossible to read someones 4 line ooc before the next one comes, i've decided to vote for it to be removed.

Looking at it, there's advantages for both removing it and keeping it.

[dali_lb]

Voted Yes. Both because of the nuiscence that ooc is being used as a social/political/flaming/random crap playground, and because of the LFG system is practically not being used by ANYone. Tried the basic old school /lfg on and the more advanced interface of the titanium client and NOone is using it. They'd rather spam OOC that many of us has already put to a small window to ignore it or only look at it when your looking for something.

On the other hand I don't see how it changes alot, since people will still be able to make usermade channels you can join, oh wait .. yes the problem is people is too lazy to either filter the ooc or just put it to a small window if they are annoyed with it

Since the devs are so concerned with classical feel, I think its time to just remove those global channels, but I honestly would rather see that some concerns was put into trying to make stuff like caster NPC's act Classic and try to come up with a usable fix to the resist problems with the client and npc's.

screw global OOC and AUCTION. once upon a time, adventurers made the long journey to EC tunnel and Freeport just to find goods, now they can just browse while deep in their nearby dungeon.
That is NOT classic.

Wish I could change my vote after reading some of these posts!

Ordinarily I would vote to keep OOC/AUC zone-specific. Then I think back to all the rare opportunities I got to take advantage of because they are currently global. I've gotten lightning-fast groups, insane deals on items, rotting gear for free, navigation and countless tips and bits of information.

Instead of disabling it, especially since I can turn it off for myself at any time, I'd simply like to see it more strictly enforced. This doesn't necessarily mean more people watching it, though it certainly could. I feel it is more prudent to devise harsher punishment for those that abuse it. Make the consequences well-known on the forums and the rule set for this server.

For me there are far too many benefits to OOC and AUC being global, and in return for these benefits I obey a simple "don't be a dick" etiquette that a lot of other people seem to ignore.
