Good point Moogie, please allow me to clarify my thoughts.
I meant when a change is large enough that testing would be neccessary. A new quest, new area opened up, new loot table on mobs, New skin, new race. Something BIG that the big guys with the access would more than like have at least had to sign off on the finished work.
I didn\'t mean when the game was tweeked, but rather when the game is expanded or major old known bugs are removed (or at least they were removed in house). For instance, when both all of the rat bugs are fixed and the quests are up and running as intended...that would be big enough in my opinion to call the players attention to it.
And as to looking to web sites and forums, I do, you do, many of us reading this do, but...many others that downloaded and update the game do not even come here or the web site.

Firstly, editing the server\'s MOTD requires an admin with an access level to do so, and not all devs have that. Meaning that, secondly, those higher level devs will need to waste time trying to find out all the little things that other devs fixed lately before they can write it. Sure, it\'s not much work, but since devs commit fixes on a daily basis, it will get very old... very quickly.
