Weekly Local News Update

[Ashrem]

I was waiting to see if it generated any more discussion, but a poll would be welcome at this point @Xelenia

 

[Daiman Rahl]

I would love to see this idea go further so I think Ashrem that we should do a poll.
Lets take it to the next step!
Xelenia do you do the polls? Or are we responsible for creating them.

 

[shimmerfly]

Another vote for Poll

 

[AtaguS]

Yes, poll please

 

[Xelenia]

The poll...is OPEN.

No stampede, please!

P.S Going forward all votes will be done anonymously to take away from peer pressure. That does not mean I will not see you if you vote with your armies ^.~

 

[Daiman Rahl]

Need to keep this up front so everyone can see it and vote.

If it went through, I would love it if there was a way to opt out of the notification. I tend not to talk to people except a few close ones and they have usually approached me first - yes, I'm and introvert.

I get annoyed whenever that little red 1 comes on for notifications of news. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'm sure I'm not the only one either.

 

[shimmerfly]

Maybe you'll come out of your shell a little with practice. I do understand though.

as where i am in favor of this i am also wondering on the size such a update will have on the mobile devices so many of us utilize in all or in part to play elvenar.
I play on my lap top computer but my tablet i do use to play from time to time is getting on in years and Tech but still functions well enough for my use though with each time the game updates on it it uses more space and resources to play and wonder how much more game it can handle, i'm sure i cannot be the only one with a older mobile device with these concerns.

Text is tiny. The entire newsletter as envisioned is going to be fewer bytes of data than the art for a level one workshop.

I REALLY Like this idea! @Xelenia, what if it were proposed to the developers in stages so it's not quite so massive an undertaking. Like how things are being introduced to mobile in stages.

Stage 1: Players moved in/out
Stage 2: Players who entered a new guest race chapter
Stage 3: Badges and rankings

Or, whatever order would be easiest to hardest to code. I REALLY like the idea of knowing when I get new neighbors. I'm rather oblivious most of the time, and this would spur me on to be a little more interactive with my neighbors than I am.

It is already in voting stage, the initial post will not be updated

I wouldn't worry about it. The developers will decide if they like the idea, and if they do they will do what is easiest first and keep the rest for later. It's an easy thing to parcel into chunks and add as they feel like it.

No worries. Just trying to come up with an idea that would make it more palatable for the devs in the hopes they approve and implement it.

Well, the #1 PRO I can see is player retention. Feeling part of a community is the reason I spend more time than I should on this game. The more time you spend playing, the better the chances are that you will spend money, I should think (on average...the exceptions prove the rule!).

Byproduct PRO: new people that receive a lot of aid may be able to count also on increased KP donations to their AWs. If I was notified that player X had just gotten into Woodelves, I may stop by to see if they had built one of their new AWs and drop some KP in to help (and receive rewards on those quick upgrades). Player X may then place more AWs since they get so much friendly help, which are big space-eaters (even though valuable), and then may need to buy diamonds for expansions.

: )

Excellent point.

my eyes are blurry from playing too much so I can't see the details, but if Ashrem came up with the idea, it must be worth a YES

Actually the interaction between players within the Fellowship and on the your map who you have traded goods and KP with does make the game more enjoyable.

Hello,

I have forwarded this concept. Great job on voting, and I hope it sparks their creativity!

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know I have put out a reminder in regard to several forwarded ideas, this included. Soon as I hear something, I will update here accordingly.

You have not been forgotten!

 

[Xelenia]

Hello @Ashrem

These particular suggestions has been forwarded several times to the development team, but unfortunately no feedback still. I will give this one last push and if no feedback, I will have to, unfortunately, archive the concept.
