It's not the sound of birds (or monks imitating birds) that's filling the air. It's our new interface with Twitter, the world's best and birdiest social networking institution.

When not besieged by the fail whale and his dastardly antics, you'll be able to keep up-to-date on the latest happenings in Elanthia via our live Twitter feed: invasions, merchants, and other exclusive events you might not know about otherwise.

Visit http://twitter.com/GemStoneIV and follow us now, you creepy stalker!

It's funnier in Enochian.

GMs all have a way to update you from in-game now, so we could theoretically do a twitter about our merchant coming up and such. So it's more important than ever to be a follower! <g>

<<BTW, for those that aren't aware of it, if you REALLY like rescuing people, there's a Twitter account called "Lorminstra", which automagically tweets whenever someone in GS4 dies. You could, like, you know, have that texted to your cell phone and become the EMS of GemStone!>>

Tickles me pink that somebody went and made that...

>Could you perhaps make a separate twitter account for Plat? Some of us are interested in tweets only pertaining to Prime or Plat and don't want to have our cell phones spammed with messages for the one we don't care about.

Yes, please. While this was only mildly annoying before, now that EG's starting up getting a text at 5 in the morning about merchant events in Plat's EG was really irritating when they were already coming in often during the evening.

Personally, I think you take the bad with the good. Breaking up the feed will mean you divide the overall attention paid to the game as a whole. I think I've gotten a few tweets to my phone during a sleep cycle in which I noticed enough to check. I didn't lose much sleep over it and appreciated seeing that folks were being notified at *all hours instead of what's just convenient for the majority.

Frankly, I don't want to turn any potential merchants off from using the twitter feed because it's a very valuable resource for me.

Couldn't you just turn the feed off to your phone during a plat run for an event?

I turned off the tweet feed to my phone because all the other instances actually blew my text allotment for the month. It was not awesome.

Funnny, I play plat and before EG it felt to me like most of them were for Prime.
