I think Tom can handle things, i understanded that he was "worried" about regular players. When someone start to cry & whine something which most people who listen that crying cant do a thing... or have no intrest to participate OOC flamewar.
I really, really cant find anything that this game needs OOC messages to whole realm... just gimme some examples WHY you need to say something to 20+ OOCly? Want to chit chat with players, get yer butt to IRC or forums, want to tell that your goldfish died and you will be mourning it for few days and wont login, let your marshall or general or ruler or council know about it... Not to even mention these "You are breaking my inalienable rights and i will report you to titties!" wentings and arguing which turn more and more dirty.
But, i have survived 10 years with OOC poop, i guess i can handle it.. but i have seen many people quit cause of those.
