The Billboard is where the town meets to post news, bounties, and communicate
(for Multiplayer). In single-player mode, the Billboard serves as a news
center, announcing all of the important events that have taken place, and also
displays bounties that town members have posted.
News
If it's important, it will be found here. To follow the latest
storyline events, or even unrelated events, be sure to check the
news section of the billboard!
Bounties
Want to make some extra cash? Looking for a specific item or
monster? Aside from the Dungeon, the Billboard is the next best place to
make this happen. Here, you will find posts from other town
members (in SP mode) looking for items and monsters. In return they
will offer Gold, Items, and Monsters. Quite often, you will find
bounties offering unique and rare items as reward, which can end up being a
steal depending on how hard it is to complete the bounty.
Multiplayer Billboard Features
The billboard is an excellent place for communicating with other players in
multiplayer mode. Here, you can post your own personal bounties, read
the news of the server, and send messages to other players!
Posting & Replying to
Bounties
Are you quested for an item you can't find? Looking for a weapon that
makes you a better fighter? Armor? There's a good chance that other
players might have what you're seeking. For this reason, players are able
to post a bounty on the server. This allows other players to reply to a
posted bounty with a message, perhaps their EMail address, or the next time they
will be on the server so an exchange can be arranged. Sending
Messages to other Players
You also have the ability to send messages to other players who have been on
the server. When you send another player a message, the next time they
log into the server and check the billboard, they will be told they have
personal messages waiting -- which they can read, even reply to. Remember
when you're posting a message that you must know both the USER name and the
CHARACTER name. This is very important -- if you don't know both the
user and character name, you cannot send them a messages. To obtain
the user and character name, use the 'server user list' feature, which is
activated by right-clicking on the area/user list button! |
