    Default towne board

    a board up at the entrance of a towne where you can post messages (for fee) like "looking for stable farming group, all week!" or "join Taem BOSS today!" would be awesome.

    two different kind of fees: for gold = as new ones are made, they get sent down board and so longer to find them
    for plat: always stays above messages posted for gold. but can move down for other messages posted for plat.

    there is a similar system in fallen sword (browser mmo-rpg) but it you can only use the equivalent of plat. here we are letting anybody try.

    ps gold fees slightly high and plat fees slightly low. 5-10k per post and 2-4 plat sounds good, depending on time selected to stay up.

    Actually, for stability/performance sake, the towne-board idea might even be better suited as a tab in your menu that you can view. You'd be able to sort it by however you want and so on. I think the town board is a phenomenal idea. Perhaps it'd get rid of some of the "in-town-spamming-that-prevents-you-from-seeing-what-friends-are-PMing-you" issues.

    well i was thinking of towne by towne so that you can reach your target audience: for items balefort board, for guidance and help forest haven board, for snowball questers frozen towne. otherwise people's messages will be constantly drowned out by new messages

    Hence why I mentioned in my initial post "You'd be able to sort it by however you want.."

    This idea has already been suggested, please search in the top right corner, if you are a new player I suggest you start with the rules.
    Again, top right corner is where you can search for the ideas you want to look for or bring up something or even get advice!

    I like the idea, but maybe it would be nicer for the town crier to tell you that since he doesn't have much of a purpose now?

    Isn't choosing a name for your character just as abusive? Or being able to post on forums in general?

    got to agree with jonboy... might just post something unfounded like Arterra is giving me all his RIFT,VOID and cosmos sets for christmas presents for a few newly level 50s.
    Rusalio~Lvl 75 Tank|Dexalio~Lvl 75 Archer|MaGalio~Lvl 76 Mage|[COLOR="red"]| plus 100 more...Minds are like parachutes, they only function when open.

    Town crier is a Good idea.

    Also gamelover don't hate around suggestion forum. That search bar is USELESS and I can never find what I need easily. Heck, it's not like this is a huge forum with post issues and thread per day limits.

    heheh... Did you just really just tell Arterra to go look at the rules? Maybe you should look at the rules because one of them clearly is "Never call Arterra a new player" . P.S. New players don't have a post count of 3,031.

    Maybe make the initial posting fee however much, then 1 plat/1-2k gold to bump back up.

    this idea has been bounced around a little recently, maybe it is time to revive this thread.
