I was just thinking about how awesome it would be if we were able to buy text alerts for MR. Maybe 0.1 credit per text alert. You could get text alerts for things like if you get shot at or your bgs get shot at to things like if one of your contacts dies. They were just somethings I came up with on the spot.

Pros:
You know if something happens instantly.

Cons:
I couldn't think of any.

A con would be that it costs a shitload of money if your in a war. Why not make it at a cost of say...a credit per month?

Report Post Tip

To counter that, what you could do is say there is a max of 5 texts a day or something or what ever you want your limit to be and then of course you could turn it off.

What happens when you run out of credits?

Report Post Tip

Then you can't get any text alerts.

Report Post Tip

Hell no. Half the strategy of wars is just hitting them when they aren't online. If people are literally always aware of what's going on, the element of surprise would be effectively removed from the game.

Report Post Tip

Half the fun of the game is going online and not knowing what to expect. When you always know whats going on it gets a bit boring. If you really need the text ask someone who is always online to text you.

Going to have to agree with Pharol and GiovanniVella on this. It would sound great having it - but - it takes away from the game.

Report Post Tip

Pharol, I actually despise that tactic. I would find War much more enjoyable when attacking people online. At least then you can call it War. Shooting sleeping people isn't war.

Report Post Tip

So animal back to the point. What your trying to say is that texts would not effect you? You have yet to state your opinion on what we are actually discussing.

Report Post Tip

The SMS cost is simply too high to get involved in this. Or it was the case the last time an idea rather close to this idea was suggested.

Report Post Tip

The pricing for low volume SMS has come down considerably since we last looked at it, this idea is now feasible and will be explored on how we can do it so that it doenst "ruin" surprise attacks, yet gives you the functionality that you want. We are considering doing a full on toggle for every single style personal, so you can pick what you want to be notified via email, via sms, or not at all. Also, possibly a toggle for "only when inactive", and also a "only allow these personal styles after XX:XX pm" (People gotta sleep!, but hey, sometimes you want certain updates despite the hour.)
