Mass wall/messages

  1. I have an idea for greater ease of communication
    for players. This will mostly benefit clans but can be equally as usefull for players (such as myself) who do mercenary work and are rarely in the same clan for more than a few days at a time. Being that the benifits for clans are obvious, I won't go into great detail on them but I will list them out.

    1. Clan activity checks
    ***********************
    These can be very, very time consuming if you
    have a large clan. Being able to simply type
    "Wall me back if active. If not, expect kick from clan"
    and sending it to all 92 clan members at once will make things much quicker and more efficient.

    2. Clan EB instructions/notices
    ********************************
    It's often that clans will have a clan announcement that is crucial for all clan members to know such as when one person is allowed to use an item in an EB and others are not. This will usually be put in the clan announcement but not all players check it and unknowingly break a rule. This would end this confusion.

    3. Upcoming wars
    *******************
    This one is pretty self-explainitory. Clans need to know when a war will happen and how to prepare for it. This would make preping a clan for war a simple, one-message ordeal.

    #Now that we have the clan aspect of this out of the#
    #way we can talk about the merc aspect of it all#

    1. Non-clan merc groups
    **************************
    I'm not sure how common this is but I'm personally in a group of mercs that (being that we aren't in a clan) have trouble communicating sometimes. We usually get together and all go to a clan that is struggling with
    an EB and we can knock it out pretty quickly. Sometimes it's hard letting everyone know about jobs like this so with this mass message implementation, we could all know in seconds.

    2. New additions/recruits
    **************************
    Being that this isn't clan based, there are no ways to know who is in the group or not without being in the loop. With this, someone could just message the current group saying something like "(insert name here) would like to join. Is everyone alright with this?" Much like clans accept new recruits, this will keep everyone in the know about who is and isn't officially part of the group.

    I guess that is all I have for this topic right now. Please leave feedback in comments and note that this is my first forum post. Modifications/additions to original idea are welcome.
