you should implement something that notifies new players about the existence of the world channel
Theres so much bullshit going on in world. Wouldnt want new players to get confronted with such nonsense.
World has shenanigans at times, but its benefit far outweighs the negatives.
do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
it would really help new players a lot, yet it is so easy to implement(?)
i hate it when no GM/dev is responding for so long. is there any "contra"?
seem to be moot.people need to quit world channel, it needs to be removed and blocked. you dont need to support a private channel with the login message, are you insane?
We tend to stay silent in the world channel but every once in a while we say a word or two.I have now seen several GMs post in the world channel. So statements like
seem to be moot.
The best thing for me would be to implement a custom item, like a readable ingame book, containing information about both World and LookingForGroup channels - like their level requirement and whatnot - and automatically put such book (along with any welcome message, and maybe some useful server info like the respec cost capped at 10g and the .experience on/off commands) within the Backpack for every newly created character or account. It would be a really helpful, discreet and elegant solution according to me... even professional, if you wish.
I might add, a rule not to spam World with LFG messages could help too, and keep those to the dedicated channel instead. It is beyond doubt that a faction channel like World helps a community to develop, and shows the realm as a busy and healthy one.

Hardly an original idea as this is exactly what that "other" server does. It hasn't proven itself very effective there either as few new members actually read the provided welcome book. Even those that do make the attempt only read the first sentance or two then throw the book away to gain bag space.
What an odd thing for the original <Spamlord> to suggest. In fact, LFG messages is one of the few things that /world is actually useful for. I find the constant guild recruitment messages on ALL channels more annoying. There is a channel specifically for that, you know.
