Currently, I know of the following global announcements that broadcast to the server:

• Breaking the seasonal sparring streak record (per device)
• Breaking the archery score
• Finding treasure hunt chests
• Top 10 placement in the Easter event

All are extremely infrequent. The spar streak is broken probably 3-5 times after the first week of a new season. The archery score is dead after the first hour. Events are rarely hosted. Easter is once per year.

I think it'd be pretty annoying to have stuff announcing all the time like on Era, but I feel like there's a few big achievements that could be announced to the server to make stuff a bit more exciting. Here are a few I can think of:

• Every 10k spar wins ("{Player} has just reached 30,000 spar wins!")
• Every 100k kills ("{Player} has just reached 200,000 kills!")
• Every 100k baddy kills ("{Player} has just reached 300,000 baddy kills!")
• Every 1k fort hours ("{Guild} has just reached 2000 fort hours!")

Someone actually told me that it used to announce when guilds reached 1000 hours before? I'm not sure, but I think that if the spar/PK/BK hats are off the table, this is a pretty cool way to honor the players who reach these milestones. I think these announcements would still happen infrequently enough to not create announcement spam (literally less than 1 per day, I imagine). I don't know how this would contribute to server lag.

On a similar note, I feel like the archery record needs to be changed so that it announces the new high score every time the maximum high score is tied. I believe people cheat to get the high score though (lagging their device like how people used to do at Crab Chance), so that would need to be fixed first.

It's not something I'd expect to take priority over more important updates, but I think it'd add a little bit of excitement to these accomplishments when they do occur.  

in very early 2012 when u reach 1k the guild is announced by an admin and they would visit your tower and throw some fireworks.

at the time there were less than 20 guilds with 1k on the fb server  

I'm all about that @OP

Might be off topic, but it was once globally announced that Xenzia boosted their guild spar points and if someone does it they will me disqualified.  

xor, pls!!  

In retrospect it acknowledges players who work hard to achieve something. It may only be one message, but it's still recognition nonetheless. I like the idea!  

no we will not be adding this to classic due to this interfearing with our hatshop releasing schedual sorry.  

I support this idea too  

I think something that has never been done before deserves to be announced.  

I want mass messages on classic  

I would take it a step forward and suggest that certain milestones be broadcasted on the news. Like 50k and 100k spar wins. 5k tower hours and so on  

I highly support this gives people more motivation to complete this kinda stuff if they are publicily recognized. If the messages are too common though it will ruin it and become annoying so it should only be for fairly big milestones  

Beating the maximum score is actually easy o.o just takes practice if you aren't that great lol. The key is for there not to be any of thr "X" targets spawning at all. And to get all bullseyes in the same round.

The highest score possible is 9800 though, and it always gets set the first few hours each season. Once it's achieved, even tying it won't "beat" it and announce it.

IMO, archery should be reworked to continue infinitely until you miss a target.  

Insted of the time limit,change it to the number of target missed before ending the turn.Also make more archery booths,2 arn't enough.
