It would be nice to have character news notifications sent to keep players updated when they aren’t signed in. It would also be useful to allow the player to set what kind of news updates they want to receive. This would really kick up the competitive aspects as well.

Possible methods of transport:

    * XMPP (Jabber)

    * text/plain email and/or SMS for mobile devices

It’s something I’ve been thinking of, but I wasn’t sure how well people would respond to it. Like what if we emailed people whenever they had unread tubmail?

I think it would be cool, but others might find it intrusive.

What if you did it, but all the default settings were so that you don’t receive emails? That way, people can use it if they choose.

It wouldn’t hurt anything to have offline notifications turned off by default.

Why not throw up a hint at some point to inform a player of the option?

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

I think when the tubmail is received would be sufficient. Doing it constantly— oh, wait.

I vote yea on this idea. Defaulted to off, with an option to toggle it.

And the subject shouldn’t be something with tubmail; it should be SFW.

When it comes to notifications, the more choices you give to the end-user the better received it will be.
