Yesterday, there was a one-day-only decor in Monkey Business. As it was available last year, it was not announced, and as a result, many people seem to have been aware of it being available, myself included. Those unfortunate enough to miss the decor have to wait a year or buy them for much higher prices off of peoples' branches. I'd like to suggest that every time a one-day-only decor is released into the shop, a news thread be posted about it either the day of or the day before. Considering a small news post saying, "Hey, there's a one-day-only decor in the shop right now. Get it while you can!" takes only a few seconds, I feel that it should be announced to give players a heads up about it.

Information about it may be found on the Wiki, but you can't expect everyone to stalk the page on Monkey Business to know exactly when the decors are to be available, and then to remember those dates in a year. A quick reminder about limited-time decors simply makes sense.

If not a newspost, it has been suggested to make a notification similar to the "You have an unread message!" notification that reoccurs automatically on the day of the event. This could also work.



This suggestion has 86 supports and 0 NO supports.

I say not a news post, but a notification saying the same thing like the event notification "Flood waters rising" or whatever. Making decor molehills into newspost mountains that way.
No support for a full news post. It's a waste of people's time. Also as Cat said in a later post, it makes them less rare. Bad for the economy if I say so myself. Supply and demand.

I don't think we need to go that far.

According to another admin, Xylax announced it in Chat, and the players were chatting about it for a while. Besides that, it adds to rarity, instead of having every single player pour out SB for the item a select amount are floating around helping give SB a purpose and use for a little while until demand putters out.

Namara: I guess that could work, too, so that they'd automatically reoccur.

Cat: You can't expect everyone to be on at the time it is announced in chat. That's a very biased way of announcing something :/

Demon@ Whenever ANYTHING new occurs it's pretty much the topic of the day in Main, and often seeps into Sales as well, though not as great.

But still, it is a SB sink(and occasionally a GB sink too) so no support. Us who missed out much be more vigilant.

Sorry if my thoughts are not clear atm, kinda sleepy X3

Support. I refuse to be in main chat anymore, but I would like to know when there's limited time decor up. The way it was announced was, as Demon said, biased.

Support. I tend to only ever find out AFTER the whole event occurs. Not only that but I spent the whole day online yesterday and wasn't aware since I stay away from main chat. Would of been nice to know so I could snag one. I'm sure others feel the same.

I missed it as well with work and such. I probably could have grabbed one, but I had no idea it was happening.

It would be nice if there was maybe a guide for that? Just on the page of the main site maybe linked in Monkey Shop?

Support!

I'm only now finding out that there was a limited item in Monkey Business, and I've no clue what it was. o.O (And I was on almost all day yesterday, too)

Newborn cubs were available yesterday?

I too wasn't aware of it. I'm never on main chat, I'm always on sales chat.

I was on all day yesterday as well.

Support. I don't see how letting people know when a limited time decor is available will be bad for the economy... :T

Usually they're announced ahead of time in a news post anyway. I didn't seen the economy go boom when the African blue daisy was announced. Kind of a moot point IMO.
