How often do you read the news?
 

How often do you read the news and where do you view it from? The news can be viewed on the login server, Graal Bible, or the graalonline.com news page but which do you use? We want to find out the thoughts from graal community on the news and possible solutions and suggestions of what improvements can be made in the future. All suggestions will be taken very seriously as we plan on improving the news in the new year.

This will be an open poll and all votes can be viewed by the public. If you wish to give me suggestions privately or have any questions relating to the news or the global news team please send me a message via forum pm here

Thank you.

Rarely

Not often. Some times I see something that interests me on login right before I log on a server, but that rarely happens.

Rarely. One of the things that throws me off is the way it's presented, a lot of the images are random sizes. Maybe I'm just picky.

O wtf, then i frequently read news

sometimes, depends on which server who is posting.

I'll read the ones that have an intresting looking image/composition. If it's just a pile of text or a cheesie screenshot, then I'll not both. Of course I'll read anything to do with Graal Kingdoms as that is my home server. I'd say that goes for everyone. If it's got something to do with their main server, then they'll probably read it.

Login Server.

Depends on the headlines, have you considered getting wittier with them?

I think I read it more when Classic was up.

I honestly don't read the news for the most part. If I do it would be on the Login server, or the forums. For example, those monthly hosted servers I just read it when TSA or someone posts it on the forums.

Rarely, don't pay attention to the login news. Just look at the pictures for a second or two as I'm connecting to a server.

I used to read the login news once in a blue moon, but I have completely given up at this time because it seemed like it was consistently boring and/or horrendously written. As far as the Bible is concerned, I just never go nor have any reason to. If I could edit it and contribute, then I might actually be inclined to visit every so often like I used to.

And finally (although apparently this is off topic, but I feel it's related), in-server news like UN's may as well be a popup ad to me. I move my cursor to the X when it loads as though it's a matter of life and death.

So annoying, right? Yet servers swear login pop-ups are the best damn thing in the world. I hate them with a passion, especially when there are more than one. I want to log in to a server and start playing, not navigate through a damn barrage of windows!

I always read it when it's updated. I use the server list news, primarily. I'll only read the wiki if I have news pending for UN.

It's something like an intuition developed since I became big in development many years ago.

I read it whenever it's updated on the login server unless it's about some UC server looking for staff.

I read it sometimes at login.

Always.

Sometimes on Login Server if something catches my eye.

Primarily I disallow UC servers to post news for staff opening unless they have some challenging content to show or have a strong concept and good direction. I for one hated the news when every article used to be UC servers hiring for positions.

Frequently at login server or graal bible ;)

Never, I just look at the one on login.

I wasn't paying attention and thought you were talking about REAL news, and voted frequently D:

I don't ever read the news, I don't have the client installed, and the only Graal page I visit is these forums (and I don't read the news posted here).

If the top news articles are related to Zodiac, Era, Kingdoms or Zone I read it from login. Otherwise I ignore the news.

I always read when I see something new on the news, it's good to know what's going on here and there. :fro:
