Yeah, I miss those too, but using IC names in OOC chat encourages IC chat in an OOC channel. Been there.

Note that true immersion in the way Tim and Fish have now implemented it by disabling OOC chat when you're using the IC rp chat, is something I haven't seen in any LOTRmod server yet. Also, the concept of immersive roleplaying is not a standard in the LOTRmod community, not at all, so I'm not surprised people will have to get used to it.

I can only encourage players to use the rp chat and experience a type of role immersion most never have experienced before. Also switch off any other media to chat and enjoy the absence of 'fourth-wall breaking' ... except for the occassional private OOC message trhough /msg and the regular restart announcements. Once you got used to it, the gameplay and your expectations will change ... and mature. Yes, I did say that, no offence intended.
