Suggestions Miscellaneous

Ok first off it is terrible.

No mass mail to corp.

Character limits per mail.

TIME LIMIT BETWEEN MAILS… come on.

 

As a officer in my corp. i handle a lot of the day to day business. That includes but is not limited too mailing the corp with new and exciting news. Try this on for size. I have a corp mail im working on right now. I have had to spilt it up into two mails. Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v to each and everyone of my corp mates. 120 members currently. 120x2+the 30-45 sec wait period between mails. It has taken a very very long time indeed.

 

Please fix…

Discuss: use an external system. Google groups, mailing list, whatever. The inner system is not designed for that. It’s a much simpler one.

i understand things like using our own personal forum like we normally do. However sometimes things come up and need attention right away. From a code stand point this problem should be easily fixed. And there is no reason to not have the things listed above. To me it doesnt seen a simple system, just a neglected one.   Devs please take a look into this as it makes the Corp leaderships job easier. ty have a great day

You could also message the CEO to change the MOTD. Or say something in corp chat. Both of these cover short time frame notification of all corp members.

Or we could just remove the mailing system altogether, seeing as it serves no actual purpose.

It actually serves a purpose, it’s the offline messaging system. It’s usually incorporated into the online one, but it’s not always practical.

it serves a vital role. and the motd is fine, but its too limited in charectar space. but the mail issues themselves are horrible. We run a very active corp atm 75+ active and getting info to those members who choose not to hop on ts3 or check forums is important. And i know most people will say kick who doesnt conform. but we at BoJ dont play like that, we know some people have lives and also just dont want that other stuff.  so its a simple case of just re doing the mailing and id say general chat settings too. as it would be nice to create your own channels

It serves a vital role that a myriad of other communication systems do more effectively, more clearly and more efficiently.

 

Frankly, we don’t need a communication system for players who don’t want to use the official forums, their corp forums, team-speak, skype, Facebook or email. If you are that hell-bent on not talking to your Corp, you’re clearly too stupid to join a Corp in the first place.

i dont really agree. i think thats actually the wrong attitude i feel. understanding this isnt mandatory stuff to do to be a part of a game should be clear. besides if you make sure people are informed about what the corp is doing, aswell as the personal touch of a letter delivered is cool too. sometimes it brings turtle out of the shell as it were. while i think you are entitled to your opinion, i am aswell.  from my point of view, the way i do things it would help. im sure you play different then me and thats ok too. but like the mail sys or not you have to agree that it needs some help.

My suggestions:

 

Officers (at least, somehow my officers) can change the MOTD (you may want to ask your CEO first). Use this to your advantage!

Make a thread for your Corp here in the Forums. Make sure to tell your members (one at a time or in the MOTD) to regularly look at the thread.

Get a website (or social media page). Make sure to tell your members (one at a time or in the MOTD) to regularly look at it regularly.

 

Myself, the MOTD is more than enough. If I, or any of my Officers, have something more to say, we make an easy link (I use bit.ly) to a section of our website for the longer post.

Different corps have different goals. A competitive corp needs a reliable way of communication, much more so than a casual corp. I don’t apply to join competitive corps because I’m pretty much a casual player and I don’t use Teamspeak or Raidcall.

Having managed a 500-member clan in another game, I fully agree. Different corps have different preferences and needs, so it’s better to redirect members to an external forum or social media platform that best suits the corp’s needs. Besides, a corp is a community and should have its own dedicated space for members to interact.
