To be honest, I think it is one moderator at ffochat.com that is ruining it for us, and the inaction of the other mods to do anything about it.
The whole issue with it is that when you connect to ffochat.com, it auto populates you into the #vanadiel room. They're going to have to fix this eventually anyway, once more people start moving over to FF14 and have no interest in chatting in an FF11 area. Instead of dealing with it head on, Charitwo chose to blame us for making use of the ffochat.com IRC in the way it was intended: to bring together FF11 and FF14 players for communication. I have scoured the IRC's website and there is NOTHING there that says "you must remain in the #vanadiel room at all times while using our IRC."
He is simply being a douche about it for whatever personal reason he has, and he's given the whole thing a bad name in the eyes of the RPC, which is unfortunate.
To be honest, we have a little over a month before the game comes out & I do not see the IRC being much use to us after that point, especially if people are planning on making some kind of general roleplayers alternative linkshell.
Also I really don't want to take over operator responsibilities for a new RPC channel, as I didn't want them to begin with on the other one.
