I love that we currently have the Portalarium Message of the Day when we log into the game. I know there has been discussion of Guild Message of the Day, is there any chance this is coming soon. (Hopefully soon)

Also, how hard would it be to have a message of the TOWN pop up when you log into a town? This would be great for Owners to communicate with residences and guests, especially for events.

I am sure there are many other ways this messaging tool could be used effectively. Ideas, comments community?

I was still out of town when this started. I think walking into owlshead for example, the town square is missing its message/bulletin board. I don't think it has to be an eyesore but fit with the look of the environment around it. These are beautiful examples of what we could have. In a game as Shrouds where we all live so divided, I am begging for connecting the world.

I think it is a big mistake to not do it. It can be well done no unsightly posters all over the area, for those who care about that, but our very own beautiful message/bulletin boards that would be like reading a newspaper of the Shrouds world.

I know there could be thoughts for spamming so perhaps submit your ad to the bulletin board and if appropriate it will go on the board. This system needs to be in game. I want people to know about Wizards Rest and the Britania Theater Troup, if we hold a play, IN GAME, not reading a spreadsheet but a very cool clickable bulletin board with clickable notes on it like:

'Wanted- $5000 bounty for Red Demons head- whisper Markum for your reward".

"Community yard sale in Wizards Rest Sept 1st, fun and prizes, located next to Owlshead, Whisper Majoria or Baldrith."

Perhaps it is a new person and I know we have hospitalers which is great, but some people would rather interact with a cool bulletin board, sad but true.

These are perfect pictures of how it could look. I've been looking for examples forever with searches, but thanks to another community member I learned the game Witcher had bulletin boards and sorry I forgot to note who it was. And to add a town square Bulletin Board would let new people know there is a living, thriving community in the game, where they may have felt cold and alone and too shy to come forward. So very necessary. So sorry Minerva if this derails your thread. I feel it is so necessary to the game. .

It avoids the flashing of messages on a screen and leaves it all up to the player if they want to see notices and read the board. Sorry edited again to make this point @DarkStarr, @Lord British2.

It looks like @Headquake agrees with the MOTD for a Guild, and so do I.
