Rule change console announcement

[arvg]

We change rules, things evolve.

Problem is, many of us become fuzzy when a rule changes and we weren't aware, or haven't checked.

It is never really clear in game when a rule has changed. And you have to go looking for it... which is fine.

I just ask, when a rule is changed, could we have one of those "reminders" in game state

Rule X.X has been updated, go read it.


this will prompt us to all go take a peek and stay up to date.

//edit: I also posted this in the wrong general discussion, can I get it moved to the right place?

I think that is a fair request,

Indeed, sounds fair. Have it up for about ~2 weeks or something after the change then remove it.

Linking a url in in-game chat would be a pain for those trying to access it if they don't have the save chatlog feature enabled. This could prove problematic unless you actually insert the rule update straight into console chat - which is fine if it's relatively simple and short.

no no
just have it state

"Rule X.X has changed, please go read the new rule"

and leave it at that.

Rule books are available on every capital planet in game...

Just a gentle reminder to go and look at it...

I heard those things are rarely updated.
or am i mistaken?

I suggested this back when the LH Guard ID was changed. I don't re-read my ID every time I log on. How would I know that I was no longer allowed a ship unless someone told me? Announcing via forums is better than what happens sometimes, but giving a ping ingame to all people affected would be even better. And not even that hard! Just PM everyone, there's already a mailbox coded...
