avoidseven 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 Hey there, fine staff of Elysium! One thing I haven't seen here that perhaps could go a long way to improving awareness on a variety of topics are automatic public service-type announcements that pop-up on everyone's main chat as a system message, similar to the "Server will restart in X minutes" messages. Something fairly infrequent, say once every 10 to 30 min, or triggered based on events. Example topics: How to keep your account safe (highlighting the recent post on two-factor authentication) Awareness to user base to NOT BUY GOLD (again, highlighting recent postings on this) Upcoming server changes (such as new server launch) Recent patch notes (obviously not the patch notes themselves, but something to effect of "Patch Revision XX is now live on YYYY/MM/DD - See Forums for More Details" General tips deemed important by staff or trends seen in the user population across servers (such as "Be sure to read the server rules, regulations and terms of use") Keeping the messages short, with URL shorteners (where applicable), I believe is key. The longer the message, the more likely people will ignore them. Really the possibilities are endless and I think it would be a good way to remind people and raise awareness to the important information on the forums that (hopefully a minority of) users don't read. Keep up the great work! -Seven 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shayss 43 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 Or not? There is an entire forum for this. Also everyone who buys gold KNOWS exactly what they are doing. They are just retards who think they will get away with it. I personally don't want to see spam in the chat. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genaside 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2017 I think a message you see when you login would be better, like guild message of the day style but for server news. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before it falls into the abyss from the spam of Trade and Global. I wouldn't mind one every hour or so, it is just a line of text. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avoidseven 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 Agreed. Something very infrequent to keep players up to speed. Perhaps both, MOTD upon login and ROTH (reminder of the hour). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
