Housing Item: Free Company Board

[Astyrah]

I feel like if it were on the Lodestone people will never read it because looking at the board at the house would be "faster". Most people probably don't use the Lodestone...

people (mostly japanese) over here on the JP datacenter use Lodestone alot or atleast twice more than EU and NA does.

that being said, an ingame housing item for an extended company board/notice would be lovely. they should also throw in an option to like kinda notify members with a small icon on the status bar/clock when there's an urgent message!

People don't use the lodestone or external forums generally. Usually fewer than half the member will look at one of those things, and among PS4 players it's even fewer. An in-game option would be immensely useful to FC leaderships and members alike.

I usually handle the Company Board for my FC but every time I make a message I always have to think "Oh.. I don't have enough space.." or "Oh.. I have to pay attention to how many characters I put in.."

I was thinking what if we got a Company Board furnishing amenity? Where you click on the board and it shows a SEPARATE message to the chat board? I always wanted an extended company board but it would probably clog the chat log.

And please make it have large character and line capacity. Like 1,500 or 2,000 characters. 20 lines or something.

If we had maybe an outdoor item for board we could write down so many things. FC rules, action schedules, events, rank requirements, etc, etc.

Is this a good idea?

No, it's not a 'good' idea, it's a great idea!

To Be honest I know this has been talked about before in other QoL topics in the General Discussion and other sub-forums. But it's good to keep the discussion going as this is something I feel we desperately need for our Free Companies.

I posted something similar in the General discussion yesterday, my suggestion was more about upgrading Moogle Mail to allow FC leaders/officers to mass mail the FC membership, and increasing the size of a Moogle mail. I also included a suggestion that mirrors the one you've already made.

I'd really like to see both things, to me an in-game message board for FCs should have been a standard component of the FC system, and Moogle mail is woefully primitive with 200 characters anyway, even Twitter does better now. So let's have a real messaging system with group mail options for FCs.

The game uses web protocols underlying everything else for communication, so how hard would it be to bridge in the Lodestone into an in-game 'appliance' to allow players to access the lodestone from within the game? Another way to accomplish the desired goal...
