The most important point about this, I feel, are the admin notices. There are several pinned admin notices in most forums, each also often has several individual posts that are often equally important.

This is a nice system in that it is easy for admins to put up notices in the most appropriate section of the forum

There are, however, two major problems with this system that I can see:

1. With each new post, oversight worsens. The notices are decentralized and, I imagine, only reviewed occasionally perhaps when there is a related problem. Eventually, there will be errors in these notices and notices that contradict others.

The first problem, then, is the system is difficult to maintain.

2. Players need to read most of the notices in addition to the server rules to make sure they don't do anything they shouldn't. Also, not all players check the forums as often as they must in order to stay up-to-date on important issues. I, for example, was completely unaware that no one should enter Gallia a few days ago until someone mentioned it in Skype yesterday.

The second problem, then, is that the information is not available enough.


Information that all players are more or less requires to know should be centralized in some way. Players should also be informed in some way when the information is updated.


This single issue is relatively easy to resolve, whether or not the rest of the ones arris brought up are. It is in any case the most crucial, I think.
