Rules and Services
The messaging must make sense regardless of what room you are in (indoors/outdoors, time of day, lighting conditions, weather, etc.).
The messaging cannot imply the involvement of actual gods or mythical creatures.
The messaging can include minor magical effects.
Olvin cannot guarantee that no player will ever have similar login or depart messaging or that your messaging will be exclusive to you forever.
Olvin can send a runner to any bank.
Custom Login/Logout Messaging
Price: 5,000 plats
This service includes four sets of messaging:
- what players in the same room see when you log in (max 200 characters):
- what shows up in the global Arrivals window when you log in (max 100 characters)
- what players in the same room see when you log out (max 200 characters):
- what shows up in the global Arrivals window when you log out (max 100 characters)
The global messaging is generally a simplified version of your room messaging. The messaging should be less “visual” in nature and should make sense in the context of a global announcement. For example:
- Login (same room): Clad in fragrant floral garlands, a pair of frolicking donkeys escort [Player] into the area.
- Login (global): The braying of donkeys heralds the arrival of [Player].
- Logout (same room): Clad in fragrant floral garlands, a donkey arrives, dragging a sleepy-looking [Player] toward the nearest inn.
- Logout (global): A donkey drags [Player] to the nearest inn for some well-earned rest.
Custom Depart Messaging
Price: 2,500 plats
Max length: 500 characters (including spacing and punctuation)
