Also, a few more points I didn't manage to get into the original post.
General channels, GUILD chat should be a replacement for general chat, make players learn to work together, don't hand them general chat on a golden platter. General chat will be abused less, people will become friends more.
General chat is only really good for LFG, / all LFG could work as good and send tells to players LFG, make the MOTD explain this so you promote good habits vs lazy habits of depending on general chat.
On a server were only high end trade skills and items matter in the economy inter guild economy is better then a general /auction channel, have a forum were people can post items they want to sell, make items drop more. I played on test server, test server had no economy, /auc and /ooc were almost useless for buying an selling things, this game is not EVE the Excel spreadsheet game were you win based on how much pp you have to spend on the biggest floating long cylindrical object in space.
I would call these guidlines the Hardcore Care Bear PvP Land guidelines...
And in response to the arguement of "OOOoh but thats not how RZ was back in t3h day"
Well son, guess what its 2010, in 2 more years the mayan calender will PvP you all so lets try something DIFFERENT for once =)
EQEMU is free after all.
