Sadly people confuse ooc and ic quite often and I am very happy that locals are gone.
If you really want to find out what is happening on the other side of your continent, contact people in game.
I actually think that was hardly the case, and besides why should I message random people (using the OOC chat by the way, something that is very immersion breaking) on the other side of the continent when people could just be discussing it freely in a forum?
