Remove Good/Bad days for new players

Post by Llama »

Pretty simply suggestion, really not sure how possible it is.

A person I encouraged to play joined illarion, she logged on upon newbie island and apparently had 2 'good/bad day' modifications.

So the first thing the person sees is

"Welcome to illarion there are N players online"
"[Abstract sounding message regarding good day]"
"[Abstract sounding message regarding bad day]"
"[Welcome NPC's greeting]"

Bit too much don't you think? Not saying the messages are BAD or anything, but if you don't know what they are they might get worrying in your first 5 seconds of log-on time.

If its possible to remove good/bad day for them, then it;ll look much cleaner.

I personally do not think it is that much of a bother. You never logged into other games have you? The first 7 lines are things you as a newbie know nothing about. I think our messages are pretty clear (you yourself wrote them).

Maybe a header to the messages would solve all problems?

Ah damn, I have wanted to remove that for a long time and somehow I thought I did it :/

Estralis' suggestion is nice aswell.

I'll change both immediately.
