A global channel that ANYONE can use whenever is a bit much. I would be joyful if global ooc was taken away. Its just a shit show. Yes, there are auctions and that part has been good. However I wouldn't mind just logging into my mule in NFP or checking the forums if I wanted to buy something.

For now, I just ignore a lot of people, but it is like a sewage pipe that never stops spewing out shit and garbage.

Tala maybe you should talk to Slathar then? Dude spends 6 hours a day spaming ooc with jibberish in an attempt to troll people. It really doesnt help the server to spread lies and try and accuse people of all kinds of shit, when newer players to the server might not realize hes just a drunk troll looking for laughs.

The reality is that 99% of what you see in ooc and read on the forums is bullshit but it takes most new people to the community months to figure out, and some get overwhelmed and just leave before it gets to that point.

Have you ever talked with Slathar? I wish you could chat with him in Teamspeak for 15 minutes. I thought Slathar was a dangerous lunatic until I was guilded with him in <Good Guys>. He is hilarious, thoughtful, conscientious, and brilliant. He cracks me up all the time. Interesting that what he says actually bothers you. I'm curious to find out if people feel the same way about Engleburt, Farzo, and Fandango/Shydagger. If so, maybe it's all in the perspective we have depending on our relationship to these people.

I think the main problem people in OOC are the ones who insult each other after PvP, calling each other bad and accusing each other of plugging, hacking, griefing, etc. That kind of message makes PvP scary and uncomfortable instead of fun and exciting. I wish you could just win or just lose, but if you lose people sometimes say things to discourage you and if you win people might say things to try to invalidate your victory. I guess one has to build the inner strength to push through this.

A problem easily solved. Next?

Put a 5 minute cooldown on ooc, that is attached to your ip so people cant log over to alts. Make each ooc post a certain limit...

OOC is a little much. But turning it off when your LFG or trying to auction stuff sucks.

So, the problem isn't "Waa I have to read garbage in OOC;" it's "These people are not fun to play with." In my opinion, it's the perception of the playerbase that we're working on here. That is what makes players want to be part of Red (or not).

Hm! This simple measure might just solve it. This would force people's flame wars into /tells; yet still allow auctioning as well as advice for newbies; and it would even allow people to say one thing after PvP. (You decide whether it will be "GF" or "fgt.")

If ooc really has to be nerfed, don't take it away. just limit it to level 1 types, like 3 messages per minute.
