Waffaru Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Heya! Due to an event that happened several days ago, and knowing that the Devs and CM's are in a world of pain when they release an update, and afterwards, when they have to deal with all the questions about the update, I'm suggesting that the devs would add a welcome message that would show to players every time they'd log into PokeMMO. This would be very useful in a manner that you could tell people to go check the forums for the full update changelog, and maybe write down some main changes in the welcome message. It could be used for advertising official tournaments and such events, too. I'm pretty sure it's not that complicated to implement, and the reward for doing so (minimizing the ammount of "Hey guys what was in the update" on global chat) is worth it. Link to comment

Could be added in junction with a pm box, which has already been suggested, probably. Link to comment

Dahaka Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 You would have to make the announcement take up the entire screen. Patrick 1 Link to comment
xiie Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 IMO, a very good idea. One MMO that I used to play had a window with welcome message when you logged in and it contained information about events, updates, etc. I never missed on any stuff thanks to it. Also, it could have a FAQ tab. Maybe more people would notice it. Waffaru 1 Link to comment
Giygas Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 You would have to make the announcement take up the entire screen. And not even just a big box. Biggest possible font. And at the bottom there should be an entry box with the prompt "Where can you find information about the game?" They should then not be able to enter the game until they type "Google" They should also have to tick a box that says "[ ] I hereby waive all of my rights as a human being, and I accept that if I say something stupid other people are allowed to call me out on it."

Perhaps that's a little off-topic :P Link to comment
Giygas Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Perhaps that's a little off-topic :P Well, if this topic is "how a message that pops up when starting the game can help stop global from being flooded constantly" then I'd say it's on topic. Especially since I'm agreeing about a welcome message. :v Link to comment

SuperChobot Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yeah, a welcome message could be nice. I don't think it'd get rid of all the random questions that could be answered with Google, but I think it'd definitely get rid of at least some. Link to comment
