[2020] Don't start doing this.

This made me turn on my bot farm, but BH was closed.

Hi everybody.

I just want to give a bit of context before I talk about the actual notification. The work needed to send these is something we've recently completed, and we think these are going to be a great tool to help keep active players informed of what's going in with the game, and maybe even to tempt less active players to start playing again.

As for the notifications, it's obvious that we haven't got it quite right yet but we'll keep tweaking to make it more relevant to what we want to achieve and to suit the players we're sending them to.

The feedback I'll be giving, based on the reaction I've seen so far, is that we need to do better to make the messaging more useful and relevant to how you play. We don't want it to look like a normal mobile game, because that couldn't be further from what Old School is. And once we've got the messaging right, we need to make sure we are sending them to the right people (and not telling somebody who plays daily that Dragon is red and Mithril is blue).

This thread has been really handy. I like the appetite for useful information, like automatic GE and farming patch notifications. I think it'd be great to do those, and that's something we aspire to, but don't have that functionality yet. At the moment the messaging is bespoke and manual, but we can be smarter with the messaging, and make it more relevant to the game and recent game updates, rather than look like a spammy mobile game.

Happy to take any Qs and pass on any other feedback!

Huh, you had me doubting myself, but it looks like we aren't the only people to have this discussion! https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/5icsdz/which_colour_do_you_think_the_mithril_bar_has/

Ha! I'm very sorry! Take consolation in the fact that you aren't alone (in being wrong) - https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/etpwxm/dont_start_doing_this/ffnk65t?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

I'm sorry!
