Default Should the auction channel be server-wide?

Given the low population of Blue and the lack of people in EC, should the auction channel be changed to server-wide?

It would make selling things easier as not having to waste time in EC but will get annoying to continually see the items over and over again while playing. Plus, people will be auctioning anything they have for sale now so theoretically you could have over 400 people now auctioning and that would be insane. I feel that is what forums (trading hub) is for.

The /occ channel on Red was (is?) server-wide, and with a population of 200-300, it seemed like half the people used it as a global /auc channel. The auctions were not bad, for the most part, but the /occ trolls were annoying. That being said, /ignore works wonders, and with the GM presence on Blue, I think they would squash any hardcore trolling pretty quickly in global chat.

It sounds like a nightmare, but it’ll die down. Put auction in another chat window. People who are in the market for something can stay at their camp or in their group and make prearrangements to purchase - sounds civilized, rather than just /auc to an empty zone outside prime time.

Not sure why beta is still up, but the Alpha green server is up too. Problly gonna keep beta green and alpha blue both up until actual classic launch. The 80% spawn reduction, xp nerfs, and plans to merge green and teal are all hic ups I'm sure they'll remove on the real release [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Enjoy your custom server on Green!

Blue = Alpha

Green = Beta

Teal = Galaxy Brain Full Release Version 1.0

On topic: I feel like the auction forums on here serve the same purpose as a global auction channel does.

Fully agree, but it doesn’t allow for impulse purchases. As someone who deals in Britney Spears records and novelty hot sauces, it’s my livelihood!

I'm okay with Green being beta and Teal being the full release. Most of the people who seem to be trying to abuse pixels for personal pixel gain seem to be on Green from what I've seen.

Serious response: I'm not sure what percent of users use the forums on any of the servers, I feel like it's under half and therefore global /auc has more real time response and a wider audience than the forums.
