Thread: 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

Where did they say this?

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).

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.

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
