We had an aviary and bird plugin just like this one several maps ago, it wasn't kept up to date and we eventually stopped using it then the msg birds became a thing because there was no alternative, now the plugin has been readded. It not fantasy or make believe, its an actual real thing that happened throughout irl history and its much better then the msg birds 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be RPed as an instantaneous message holder. You see, back in the day the bird did not arrive instantly like an email. And the chances of it even reaching were not guaranteed. I would even bet quite a few birds went messing in attempts to pass along messages through birds in medieval times. In any case, it will bring about more abuse by being used like an instant email sender than to generate quality story-lines and RP. It will just be used by cringe-lords who would rather "justify" a message through an aviary after they tell their friend to go to one on Discord If previous bird RP was always terrible, I do not see how adding a plug-in for it will make the system anymore less abused by people.

It takes around 2-5 minutes to receive a bird, and you need to go to an aviary to look at it - I believe. It's no instant email sender 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no instant email sender so you are saying hypothetically I watch a Youtube video for 3 minutes while I wait for a bird that will have information that will be used against dynamic RP? wow you are so brilliant because people historically waited 3 minutes to receive a message from another kingdom with important, valuable news that could change destiny, yeah I am totally for this now that you have enlightened me staff members, stop forcing your garbage down people's throats and actually get some insight before you make an announcement about something that does not make a better story for the server like maybe you people could get an original idea and try that?

Jistuma 1995 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 5 hours ago, ichigomaster98 said: "Error: An unhandled exception occurred. Contact a developer." and it deleted my letter. Bug has been found, and a fix has started to be created. Thanks for the bug reports. I've also made it so that the bird is sent first, and the letter is deleted later, so that if something bad happens, at least you still have your letter. It's still not on the main server, but will be soon. 5 hours ago, ichigomaster98 said: just getting 6 people could take 30 minutes I'm still thinking on ways to resolve this particular problem. I want this to be as simple as possible to the user, but since you need to select the MCname and then the Persona you want to send it to, becomes harder to make it user friendly to send it to multiple people. If anyone has any suggestions on this, please share. 5 hours ago, ichigomaster98 said: Having a clock or timer would be helpful so I have a rough estimate of how many hours I have to wait to ask people over for tea. At the moment, the timer to send a new letter can be checked by trying to send a new letter (it will tell you how much longer you have to wait to send the new letter), and it is between 2 and 5 mins, depending on the distance of the users (offline counts as the longest distance) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
