What is the proper use of the /ooc, /auction, and /shout channels?
These channels are provided as a courtesy for players to communicate with one another in specific methods. The /shout command is for players to use in-game character speech. This is used for role-playing, asking for help or directions etc. The /ooc channel is specifically for Out-Of-Character speech only. Tech questions, game issues, and other such non-role-playing questions are commonly used in this channel. The /auction channel is for the buying and selling of goods and services, and can be in character or not. It is important to remember that these channels are a courtesy for players, extended conversation need to go into /tell. Players who continue conversations far and beyond this, are considered to be “spamming, or flooding” these channels and are reminded they are under the same rules and regulations in game as they are when in EverQuest’s chat rooms. Players should not have to turn off their /ooc, /shout, or /auction channels because some players cannot follow or respect policy
