So if you haven't noticed there is a new button on the navigation next to the support link for a calendar. The purpose of this thread is to collect some feed back (at least for the RO community) what types of reasonable items you'd like to see scheduled or posted on there such as maintenance times, events, etc. Thank you ahead of time for the feedback.

Possible Ideas Submitted

  • TI Events
  • Contest Deadlines
  • Maintenance Times
  • WoE Times (Valk, Ygg, Ymir)
  • VM / CM / GM Birthdays
  • Player Birthdays
  • Player Events (Hide & Seek or Monster Mash)
  • RO's Aniversary

Ooo, nifty. I'm sure everyone would love to see what future TI events and the such would be. Doesn't have to be planned too far in advance, but people can look forward to them and it would allow the GM team to fine tune the TIs before they have to go live. Also contest deadlines would be appreciated.

Also, maint times and changes to them.

The birthday system is actually a separate thing, earlier it was enabled but it had it global for all people so there was like 60 birthdays at the bottom of the forum X_x

I assume they turned it off because it was more or less information overload.

If people actually have to voluntarily take the time to put their birthdays it shouldn't be too bad. No need for a thing on the bottom of the forum every day. xD

There should be a level limit for the birthday thing. Nobody wants to know birthdays of level 1 novices. lol

Patch note details, and event details.

Birthday details would just clog the calander up with crap.

Not only Contest Deadlines, but also a note of the running contests would be nice. Seeing only the deadline on the actually day could be to late for those who don't know about the contest but may want to participate.
And please include the creative contests as well.

Oh, of course :)
I forgot that some contests are announced in less popular sub-forums. Yeah, have them too.

no worries, it has 3 options for scheduling (recurring, ranged, and single).

See how its posted on multiple days, is that what you meant? Sorry if I misunderstood in advance.

I'd like a Calendar like some game forums have where it's got all the events each month listed. See spoiler.

Spoiler


Also, if we could each get logins for it to update our own mini events or server stuff.

Because I know GMs will be looking here, how feasible is something like this that pops up in game?

I have to admit that I just answered before I took a look at the calendar.
If it's possible to post it during the whole event, that's awesome :3

This idea has already been brought to the GM's attention and rejected. Though, the game HAS been radically altered since, I'm still leaning towards it being a bad idea to have these pop up randomly. For things like quest turnins or other NPC's you have to talk to NOT on a field map, I can see doing it. RO combat is too fast paced, especially at the higher levels to support something like this in any place except town.

Yeah its a good idea in merit but to be honest I wouldn't want this, I hate nag messages in any piece of software I use.

When Quests end would be good. Not TI quests (well overall dates not personal) but things like anniversary or holiday quests start and end dates.

Depending on what is in the calendar, it would be cool to be able to see the reference(s) as well.
What I mean by reference(s) is a link to the event / forum / etc explaining more or where people are discussing the subject.

Yeah they will include that, in fact the other games have already started this standard.

ROSE Online for instance: http://forums.warppo...&cal_id=4&m=&y=

If you click on the 75% Exp Event, its got links to relevant information.

The future plan is to (i hope, because I suggested it) color code the text to distinguish the game and also prefix it with the name of the game such as [ROSE] Exp Event, [RO] Double Drops

Don't think that's really any good since they could technically run anti-captcha on them. It's intrusive for normal players.

In regards to Calendar: As a safety precaution, Birthday should _NEVER_ be shown.

Oh believe me I agree with the birthday thing, the first day it was activated it was showing like 60 people having birthday or upcoming ones. Not opposed to staff birthdays though because thats a separate line item at the bottom of the page from the calendar
