Would you like to look up the example game?
www.renaissancekingdoms.comI have to say, Ethan had already shot it down for complexity, I thought I'd try anyway.
Discord is currently our main new player retention tool. Those I can't get into discord are much harder to stick around. And yet, it's an external software, third party, and well... not everyone can or want to go into a third party thing. Despite being an OOC environment, a lot of community building happens there, even realm culture, be it from own realm mates ooc banter or "enemy" ooc banter. I would rather we had a more inclusive tool, in game, that people wouldn't have to make a new login for... maybe better OOC, to mitigate the risk of reducing realm-wide messaging.
Well, this is wishful thinking by now. I'll ask again in 5 years.
