Title: Public and Private Guild messages
Post by: shorty13 on August 09, 2005, 12:21:08 am

I think the devs should finally implement these.  Of course the private would be a message to one person in case they weren\'t around, like an answering machine for a telephone.

The public would of course be able to be seen by the entire guild.  This way guild leaders or other members could share some useful information that needs to be shared to the rest of the guild.  The MOTD can\'t be too long so anything over a couple of lines would not be suited for the MOTD.

Why??  Because...
1)The MOTD is too short to converse information across to a guild in-game.
2) One member might need to tell another member something important or to do something (ie invite a certain player, promote a certain player, etc.)
3) It serves as a great in-game means of putting up a message to people so they can see it for a long period of time.

Instead of that.. How about maybe making a special area for each guild to leave their public/private msg\'s. Making it more realistic.. if it was private, it would only be openable to whoever it applied to and if it was public, then it would be open to everyone whenever they wanted to see wahts new.

It doesn\'t have to be constricted to the guild.. more like a PM I think.

PMs are too modern type of a thingy to have.

I mean, like a forum thing in game only for clan members. It would be located at ur clan base or whatnot. Public things could be shown to all clannies as for private only for the people to who it would apply to. so whenever u have a chance, you pass by to see whats new or if any1 needs anything.

Clan base would be the clan building? We would need to wait until clan buildings are avalible.. It could just be displayed at the loading pages..

Well until they would put in some sort of clan buildings.. they could just make a button and call it \"Call Msg Centre\" or something and anybody could check out the posts there.
