I agree with you on the account thing. But what Im saying is that its a rule and some people dont know about it as there is a BIG lack of communication between admins/high staff and the majority of players online. They should asign maybe E-mail Updates which you have to get.

To Stefan: I think this will be a good idea to keep communications in graal at a high so plays have less excuses for account sharing and not know about updates, I have revided this thread as Stefan uses the Forums ALOT more now, almost every day, and I'd like his views!

"Just check the forums" is hardly helpful to the average player, who would have to exit Graal, start MSIE, find the forums, do a search, write down the answer, close MSIE, and restart Graal...

Of course, in a perfect world things would be so explicitly documented in-game that "Check the Forums" and "Read the news" wouldn't be necessary, but I suppose news is inevitable in an expanding universe.

I believe you've stumbled onto a good idea there.

How about adding a 'News' tab to the server selections screen? That way, there would be a lot more room to display news or set it up so that when you have selected a server either through selecting from the list or by typing in the name in the field box (without logging on), the 'News' tab will display relevant news for that server or just create a 'Server/Playerworld News' tab to do that and keep the 'News' tab for global news and information. For the 'Server/Playerworld News' tab, the staff for that server could have access to controls on the Graal website to add or update information, or just build something into the RC that allows the news to do the same.

Now where's my pound of cookies for putting in a lot of time and effort into that thought?

Remember when people used to use the popup thing on logon? If that were just automated somehow, ie it updated that thing when the news page updated...
