The way News work has to be fixed. Most of the time Classic write a news when they are releasing new hats or items with a picture. Yes, it looks nicer that way. But I expect more details in updates. Post what have changed in game.
For instance, added a blink to the horse and changed the bomb and arrow scripts, changes in pyrat health point, disabled pk in pyrat cave, added blinks on pyrats. Yeah it's annoying to read every small updates that has been made, but then you can just post every month.

Let us know what you guys are doing. I like to read news about my favorite game and know what is up even though I am not physically on the game.

You should see how Alpho is keeping the community aware of updates/changes in Ol'West. Imagine him in Classic...probably the next savior for the server  

id like that
It would inform me about stuff like theirs a npc in swamp i should see (not true)  

I recall the Dust man saying that not everything was news worthy. Example, they just changed the house icon setup. They merged house and gh into housing. It's not newsworthy because people will eventually realize it was changed.


What they can do is add an "update" section and put all the fixes/changes there.  

ironically, in some ways, if they actually did post every small update it would make the game seem worse. i dont know how to explain this and im sure many people will disagree but yeah...

yeah wtf is with adding folders for folders' sake and ignoring other things that don't appear in folders, cluttering your menu?

I'm talking about stuff like the "Flying Wings" that you can buy at oasis, the 'break dance' you win through rps... the 'hug' from frog shop... the cry thing from tay's fun cave (or whatever it's called).

These could easily be lumped together. Meanwhile, RPS is still all lonely in the "Games" folder, making for unneeded directory shuffling when equipping some things and others just cluttering your GUI.

I guess a case of too many cooks? Not sure.

i think it was rufus.
you will eventually realize that hat shops were changed without news even have to tell you that changed. news is suppose to keep us with a lot of information.

How?
Every month you will see a news saying
Oh we have updated blah blah here's the list:

• added a new cave in snowtown
• removed the cowroom
• ctf is temporary closed
• changed the appearance of gralats
• changed bomb system
• enforced anti-hack system

Now admins even have an argument. if someone make another thread that says 'what is admins even doing'.
Look that's what they did last month, that's what they have done in the previous month. U get the sense of what i am saying?

It can be seen either way. 1. oh, this game has many things wrong with it or 2. the staff are actually trying to improve the server by addressing things within their grasp

I've thought that to myself before. You should feedback that.

I'm not disagreeing with you in terms of keeping us informed. I just think they should separate them.

Example of why it might get annoying:
You log in.
See a news update.
Open the news:
"we have merged the house icons"
"we changed the bomb script"
"we remodeled X shop/building"
Rawr  

not puting out the small updates is stupid Who came up with that idea.
Its like if you wrote a classic novel and dont menssion the other books you wrote which were good too but not as good. pretending you didnt write it but expecting people to find it.

if you put every update out players will see how hard the staff team is working and more is happening than new hats.
Players can apreciate what our volenteers are doing for us.
and not everyone goes all over the map searching for stuff so everyone should be informed on whats going on.

if you think its not "news worthy"
put a small update section in the menu next to maps so people can see  

The pictures are for looking at the new hats instead of travelling to the store to be disappointed

Cuz we all see the pictures in the news and go 'I'm not wasting my time.'
