Suggestion (for 2.0): Linkshell Message Board

Just an idea for 2.0 that I'd really like to see.

Something like a mix between bazaar comments in XI ( - I mean, a box that would pop up) and linkshell message, that could be accessed through the UI menu by clicking on a LS, but allowing for much more text - I'm thinking room for 800-900 characters (if possible).

It would be good if only the LS leader and sub-leaders could write things here for up-coming events in the shell.
I just feel that this kind of info should be available in the game, at a quick glance, without people having to access websites to see what their LS is planning for the day/week.

So.. basically a glorified LS message, 800-900 chars. XD
Whatcha think? Helpful? Would you use it? :3

Dev team allready commented on this and pretty much anything beyond a LS message has been rules out due to it putting a massive strain on the servers. (Even 2.0)

Really? O.o;
Heh, and I thought I stayed fairly up to date on dev news.
I wonder how much text they'd allow.. I was hoping for at least enough to explain the day's/week's events and perhaps a bit of space for requirements of it, (items to bring, things to remember to do).

I'm pretty sure it came up in the Translation thread if I spit it I'll link the post.

If you do bother looking for it, thank you. :3 That's one thread I wish I could, but don't have time to keep up with.

We do not have any plans even in 2.0 for a in game message board feature.

新生ではレターが送れるようになったり、フリーカンパニー専用の一言ボードのようなものは検討していますが、掲示板となると管理・運用コストがとても高くなってしまうためです。
In 2.0 you will be able to send letters and for Free Company we are looking into a short note board but when it becomes a message board the cost of maintenance to observe and operate will be very high.

メンバー募集や、コミュニティイベントなどについてはフォーラムをご利用いただければと思います。
For member recruit or community events would appreciate if you could use the forums.

So pretty much anything beyond a Linkshell message or in-game mail would cost to much to operate.

I don't think OP meant a full blow message board. We have Guildwork for that sort of thing. But I think the short message (Somewhat longer than an LS message) is what they had in mind.

A short note board huh? I wonder how short that would be~ 300 chars or less? A few sentences? Would definitely like to know specifics. ^^

And sending letters sounds interesting. If there was a mass-send or "send to all LS members from ___________ LS" option, perhaps that could work in the same manner.

(Of course I didn't mean a message board where multiple people add messages like a forum. I meant a longer LS message pretty much - in case I was unclear in the OP. A board with one message on it.~).

Thanks very much Jynx. :3

I think your glorified ls chat will spamx8 my tiny screen
