Aulian Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thought I would stick one up here as well as add to the website thread. What do you think about making a news letter that people can sign up to on the new website? It can go out once a month, or bi-weekly. I mean.. there are heaps of things that happen all the time that will be easy to write two or three small paragraphs about. Sorry I wrote this in a lecture while trying to pay attention so its a little scrappy and I haven't put a large amount of effort/thought into it..... (Basically it could have some amazing potential - we have some incredible writers already playing here. This could be a good use of their talent.) Eg: AABAHRAN: THE FORSAKEN LANDS NEWS LETTER The Closing Darkness - Is this the end of Aabahran? Evil is a foot as NEXUS feeds off the unholy energies that have come to encompass Aabahran, growing in power as the forces of light scramble to form a united in the form of the RIGHTEOUS BROTHERHOOD, a newly formed organisation working with the KNIGHTS to expunge the threat. What will you choose? To be a bastion of hope and light in the comming darkness or a pillar of evil and deception, weaving lies and destruction to cripple the strongest of minds and bodies. The fate of Aabahran could lie in your hands should you have the depth of faith to seize it. The Empire Regains its Feet After being sorely pushed by the WATCHERS and the untimely disapearence of the TRIBUNAL Marshall Brendyn the Tribunal have begun inducting many new members. Through this they have slowly beaten back the driving force of the woods to regain some form of power over their domain of the three largest cities in Aabahran. The SYNDICATE still plague the cities with their trade, collecting bounties and battling the TRIBUNALS for their place in the Empire. Recent Changes Changes are constant within the realm of Aabahran, the hardworking staff are always working behind the scenes towards the implementation of new code and areas. Some recent changes this month include: Major Changes or Additions: [02/14/08]: New command - Draft: Allows you to write your notes onto a piece of paper [02/14/08]: New command - Roshambo: No. It's not what you are thinking. It's rock, scissors, paper FL style Changes: [02/14/08]: Rangers can call their align specific mobs again. The staff of Aabahran: The Forsakenlands would like to thank you for taking the time and effort you put into your characters and showing an interest in our mud. We are here to provide a high quality, RP enforced PK mud that everyone will enjoy no matter waht their past mudding experience. The FL STAFF The Player Forum The Forsaken Lands Website *************************************************************************** So thats the general idea? I think it would be nice, reminding people about whats going on and so forth -even once a month won't be taht taxing for someone to write something up for you lads and ladies to check? Possibilities: 1. Character profiles - One a month on a herald, or tribunal or random like ceria - someone who made a name for themselves that will create interest in what other people can create. 2. Cabal advertising - Savants over running? Send out the call for the Masters of War to take up their arms. 3. Immortal Profiles - Profiles on an immortal - what cabal they run, what their job is with the mud (coder/builder/desc and normal administration.) 4. Advertising upcomming events - The plots and anything tahts up comming. Doesnt even ahve to be imm run. Can be player run too! 5. Class profiling - What can you do with these skills? Basically a condensed essay with the essay link included! 6. City profiling - Which cities are good for what? Can have more out of the way places like Galourium and the Sea elf Cay 7. Shop Advertising - What interesting things do the merchants in aabahran sell? 8. ECT Sorry about the mix up with the other posts... The uni internet is driving me crazy. Good wireless my ***.

Imoutgoodbye Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Terrific! Somebody call Gomanhor. Or should I say Go-man-whore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'tarako Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 'Dude. This would be awesome. Definitely help people stay afloat of major plots and such. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-red- Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It would kind of detract from the role of a herald, wouldn't? Granted, this is OOC knowledge and the character themselves would have no idea of it, but it's incentive in and of itself to log on to figure out these in game things through notes and interaction. However, I can see how it would also be incentive to log on to become involved. I think if the newsletter kept the things you posted as possibilities on the bottom it would be great.

Aulian Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Just an idea, build it up and rip it apart as you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 As long as it doesn't go too specific, it's not really OOC. Every character lives in Aabahran and should have some form of news. Besides, the Heralds are worthless....please...who invented that cabal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfdude Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I don't really play FL anymore but im just putting my two piece in saying that this is a sweet idea and I'd subscribe to this in a second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl3h Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Yeah man, sounds awesome to me. About time you came up with a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinblades713 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well, it's obvious everyone is saying this is a horrible idea so you should probably just give up. Thanks for trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPapa Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 It's a great way to reach out to everyone who may have played, plays, or might play. It would definitely give an itch to some former players that lurk but haven't started playing again, and it might entice those that are thinking about it to start to play. It could have a Tip of the week for us Newbies as well... Endless possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhokril Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Queue thread resurrection. A player should do this. I'm pretty sure there is an administrator function where they can send an email to all forum members. This would be a good way to get some people to come out of the woodwork.

Ilanthas Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Greetings everyone, I think this is a great idea. Especially for us newbie's. The idea about the newbie tip is a really good one. Something like this would be a good step towards retaining new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
