Recently we introduced a system that will every so often give messages to the entire server. One thing that would be good to add to this system are some new player tips.

Would would be some good tips that new players on both classic and renewal should know about?
If your idea is for classic put [C] in front, if it is for renewal put [R].

Keep in mind that there is a character limit of about one line.

(copied from other thread)

Use it to announce nerfs lol. (specifically equipment)

1) announce nerf in game immediately after the patch notes thread is posted

2) Use the tips system to make sure everyone gets to be aware in all timezones


That's a really bad suggestion, but you guys really should announce it in game as soon as posting on the forums to prevent scams.

(note: I'm not replying to anyone who says I wasn't scammed and tries to troll me)

universal tips that work equally well for classic AND renewal would be more difficult because for all intents and purposes, they're not even the same game

is there no way to have separate announcements for each server?

Ctrl+v doesn't work in classic? lol. I don't think they'll put "our game is broken, use this!" tips into it (eg: the hallucination thing).

But if they will:

Tip: Press F11 in Eden to disable all chats

those are precisely the most important tips to have imo

if their game is broken but a fix is available, players should know about the fixes so they don't get frustrated by the bugs

For Renewal server

Tip: All Ragnarok game servers have a weekly maintenance beginning at 8 PM PST on Tuesday nights.
Tip: Eden Merit Badges can be exchanged to Merry Badger in the Eden Group for items such as Reset Stones, KVM Badges, and Job Battle Manuals!
Tip: The Eden Group can offer new adventurers quests to obtain beginner gear sets at levels 12,26,40, and 60.
Tip: When you reach level 70, visit Gramps in Eden Group to see what quests he has for level 70 and over adventurers each week!

Tip: Adventurers can receive Eden Merit Badges and zeny for helping Gramps.
Tip: Be aware that certain Kafra Shop items cannot be traded outside of your account after being taken out of the box.
Tip: Adventurers who become base level 99 as a 2nd class may then proceed to the top left building in Juno for transcendence.
Tip: VIP users are not required to make a zeny donation to Metheus Sylphe to read the Book of Ymir to proceed with their transcendence.
Tip: Valuable skills in the 2nd transcended class cannot be obtained should adventurers choose to not transcend and advance to 3rd class after 99 as a 2nd untranscended class.

Tip: Adventurers must be 0 weight and 0 zeny to proceed with transcendence.
Tip: Status points can be reset by talking to Sam Status in Payon with the required number of Reset Stones.
Tip: See Primo D' Buffer inside Eden Group for buffs if you are VIP every 30 minutes.
Tip: Monsters you encounter during your adventures contain both a race and an element, this affects the weapons and attacks that can be used when hunting them.

Tip: You can assign a new leader to your party by opening the party window, right-clicking the desired party member and then choosing "delegate party representative."
Tip: Joining a guild can help a new adventurer find others to share their adventures with!
Tip: You can obtain special holiday and seasonal headgears and other special occasion items by taking part in seasonal/holiday event quests!

How frequent are these messages planned to be broadcast? It seems like it would be more of a nuisance than anything.

Just copying my post from the other thread in case it got missed...

1) Important changes everyone should be aware of like skill balancing patch, reset NPC
2) Nerfs to items like rudolf
3) New turn in monsters announced
4) Enriched hammer being in
5) Artwork etc. contests
6) What stats the new gears do and their effects
7) What special items are in the boxes
8) What specific rewards current quests have and where to start the quest
9) Number of days left before big changes like removing non-main storage.

For new players, knowing about eden group / gears and eden gramps is pretty important. Ongoing crowded eden problem does make eden hard to navigate for new players still though.
