Default OOC Needs To Come Out ASAP

I can't tell you how many tells I get a day from new players asking me is the server as bad as OOC looks. Between the death threats, e-peen contests, racially insensitive comments, the back and forth bickering, OOC has become a complete joke. It needs to be either policed by GM's, limited to something like once every 30 minutes, or completely removed ASAP.

Ooc makes it 10x more entertaining and lively. But it should have stricter moderation. This should be a family fun atmosphere.

you cannot remove OOC

it is a tool that is needed on this low pop box, esp for lowbies

-lowbies can find grps
-auctions to sell and trade

and believe it or not, competition

bragging rights is a big part of playing this game nowadays, deal with it

with love

disagree here too, 50+ needs exp and grps too

just cuz you have friends, doesnt mean they have same play time

and your skipping the auction portion

needs to be a market on here, ooc contributes alot to sales made

You know I am not one to rush into agreeing with Andis, but I think ooc is good for server. It is not good in its current form and should be limited like most have suggested 1 ooc per character per 5 mins or so to allow trading and groups to continue as well as the occasional well thought out taunt instead of the constant spew of nonsense that currently fills it

If /ooc is that off putting to new players, have it be disabled until lvl 10, just like the ability to actually talk in said channel.

The staff could go one step further and have the /ooc filter automatically turned off when a player logs in. That way the channel is 100% voluntary.

Just have a GM log it AFK, and hand out Squelches or suspensions. I get the "need" portion of OOC. But it can't continue to exist the way it is now. It needs to be moderated some how. There's a difference between "hahah good fight got u!" and "THATS RIGHT U MOTHER FUCKING N***** GOT U GOOD U JEW FUCK DIE IRL" Unfortunately red99 is more the latter

To be fair you can't call yourself top jew and get mad when people turn around and call you jew. But I agree with the rest.
