Hey fellow WR players!
I know one or more of the above things has been active and working on the live servers, and I would like to encourage you all to use the channels here on Wintersroar in order to keep the serverwide ooc usable and sort of free-of-spam.
Class channels can be used to
- get to know your fellow necros (in my case), clerics, pallies, whatever
- exchange tactical information
- ask for the services of some player of this class
- talk about class-specific quests
As class channels, I would like to suggest:
paladin - cleric - (en)chanter - shadowknight - shaman - druid - wizard - mage - beastlord - bard - rogue - monk - warrior - ranger - necro
If anyone knows a decent short form of shadowknight, please post below - in the end it's up to the members of a certain class to decide which spelling they choose.
I would like to ask everyone to use those channels without a password or - if time proves that some people password the channel every now and then to annoy others, use the same pw as the channel name.
Furthermore, for people looking for a port as well as porters who are offering them, I would like to suggest the chat channel "taxi".
This will keep auction and ooc clear of that extra traffic.
Then - in order to keep that out of the main chat channels also, how about using the channel "lfg" when you want a group or a group is looking for more? Just join the channel and you will be able to see if enough people of your level are on that channel to form a group of your own. Groups looking for players would check the channel first.
To exchange quest information the ooc channel is probably still well suited, since so much information and drops need to be linked together, but for the future MAYBE it would work establishing a channel named "quests"
Long story short, to summarize, I suggest heavily using the channels
(classnames), taxi, lfg, quests
Please get used to those if you like the idea
Unless you don't want the extra chat, I would kindly ask you to autojoin at least your class channel, and maybe the ones that interest you - for example, for myself, the autojoin would look like this:
/autojoin necro, quests
Regards,
Maliciosa
PS: I am not on an ego trip to impose my ideas of channel names upon the rest of you, the (mostly) absolute suggestion of exact names is to establish a "standard" - if we start a big discussion about channel names, we'll have people confused and split over several channels with the same purpose
PPS: I don't want to debate the likeliness of those channels being successful - time will tell which of the above stay populated and which will die out
