A reasonable Request

Post by Vurek »

To all the imms:

Could we please, once the mud comes back up, have a section somewhere, or a place to read "updates".

Due to Trin's post in general, and I have been forgetting to request this for a year+, but it makes perfect sense.

When a person logs on, when it says all the welcome and that jazz, It would be great to see just a list of things going on in kinslayer.

Hell, if that's too much, it would be lovely if there were posts under announcements(hell even in rp form!) to signify changes or updates.

Example for loggin on mud:

Update!
1.Bash tweeked, ENjoy!
2.Eq changed
3.Channelers balanced part 1(hehe)
4.Pulse war looking at, small changes

And this could last for a week or so, depending on situation, but that would be awesome, I don't want to know all the things you did to certain things(it's fun figuring them out and playing with the variables), but It would be damn decent if this came into play.

Not only would it help certain players feel that their suggestions may be looking at, but it would allow all players to know whats going on, enjoy the changes, and overall have a good feeling to the mud.

Or post on announcements:

Title Post: A warrior comes to town.

A warrior walks into the famed city of Fal Dara, bearing an enormous longsword and welcoming fellow soldiers to learn his new findings.

A warrior says, "It has come across my attentions, young lads, that I have noticed changes in my bashing!"

The crowd gasps in wonder!

A warrior says, "Go forth and test it my young friends!"

Natural, both ways are certainly fine, the idea of putting it on the welcome screen when logging into mud could be in rp form.

Sure we lack rp, but this would seem to me, to add a good feeling to mud, and just would be enjoyable.

Naturally, some changes posted might have ill-comments towards, but one would hope that the playerbase would appreciate the Imm's time towards informing us on the goings on and what not.

One would hope, one would think, but that resolves around respect. And I know Imm's might be hesitant to do this, but all in all, it's just another brick in the wall.

To me, I would appreciate it as much as the changes being made in the mud. I would be glad to see Imm-mortal connections and good feelings being spread, maybe even adding in some good rp for us all.

People are people, but to me, this seems a perfectly reasonable request, and above all-->a great idea for both Imm's and mortals.

I could talk all day about this, and as you can see, this post is very long, but I think it is very important, and I think it would be appreciated with good intent, for hell, it's common sense. :)

Sure its common sense, and isn't that what we have been doing? If there needs to be an announcement, we post it. Even if sometimes we are somewhat incorrect in the information that we give (i.e I said downtime should last about a week, which in reality has lasted much longer).

If there has been a major change, and without knowing about this change will get your character killed and you will lose your equipment etc, I will definitly inform you. If however I tweaked some exp mobs, moved mobs around, etc whatever I might not bother. You guys can pretty much figure things out on your own, and I honestly I do like the more "player find things out" type of attitude.

As for the release, there will be many many changes, most of course I think you should find out for yourself, but I'm sure a list will be made and posted on announcements of new things implemented. Many will be far from perfect, especially with the new eq changes put in place, I'm sure for the next few weeks after the implementation there will be many many tweaks in order to adapt (I have a list of things that I know for certain will need to be tweaked, the "playing" by the playerbase will tell me just how much will need to be done). I do not think that I will post every single change, unless like stated above it is a critical one.

Feel free to post further comments or questions on this thread in the General forum, I'll read it and try to comment further depending on what arises when I'm "slacking off my work on the mud and reading forums".

Thanks.
