Repeatedly Stolen Message Board in the Hub

Post by Apokriphos »

The Message Board in the Hub of Andunor has been repeatedly stolen over the past few months. Can Andunor get a permanent board like Cordor?

Character disruption by stealing the board only reduces potential roleplay and communication between different timezone characters in the Hub, and its constant removal serves little purpose besides nefarious and petty harm.

The board was stolen again earlier today. Another appeal request to the powers that be for a permanent one.

I want to throw my request for a permanent board in the hub in too. Keep going to check whos who and whats happening and finding only a few new messages on the board. Surprised it wasnt permanent to be honest. :)

I had no idea it wasn't permanent. If it isn't, it should be!

There are two permanent message boards in the Hub.

Is there an issue using these two? Or is it because of their naming that makes it not used for general posting?

They are not situated next to the main gathering area, by the hub portal.

It's the one that's always been used as the main news noticeboard in Andunor, it would be weird to change that now.

The two permanent message boards currently in the Hub are the trade board and the wanted board, neither of which are used for information on the happenings in the city. Players barely check the wanted board. The most frequently used board for news acts in similar capacity to the Entrance Board in Cordor is across from the Hub Portal, and it is also the one being destroyed and stolen so often.

Please make that one indestructible, thank you.

Or, alternatively utilize the permanent boards.

The permanent boards are named Trade Board and Wanted Board. It makes no sense to use them for General discussion unless the title was changed and the location moved to the one listed. I think the wanted board could be a likely candidate for this also do to it's rare use - if necessary.

The two permanent boards are the Trade Board and the Wanted Board. People have been very good about trying to restrict notes on those boards to the designated topic.

The board that is repeatedly stolen is a player erected board for general news.

Unfortunately, people keep stealing the board. So if we can either have that board made permanent, or change the name on the Trade board to include regular news, that would be appreciated.

Removing the Wanted Board and making the Public Board permanent would be ideal. Usually the Wanted Board shifts between two extremes: horribly out of date, or every wanted poster is crossposted to all the city boards anyway.

The poor Trade Board used to be flooded with politics during times of turmoil in Andunor so hopefully that doesn't resume being the case.

Also I would add the Wanted Board is on a blind corner in a massively well trafficked area and is very awkward to read.

So we're very much on track.

I agree - please make the messageboard near the portal permanent :-)

Please utilize the two permanent message boards in place.

There are additional ones also available in each district, as well as the west wheel.

Edit: A shift in permanent message boards will be happening. Keep an eye out in soon to be released updates.
