Yet the fact that these old and sad news are the last thing we can find in the annoucement section is anti-marketing. Not everyone looks at the dates. Why hasn't it be buried by more recent and "positive" news like the last announcements of Yumeroh, yet ? :confused:

Agreed. There's some much-needed overhaul needed here, which is honestly not hard to do at all.

The announcement section may indeed benefit in making Yumeroh's post prominent, yet the latter remains buried deep into the "play free one more month" thread, and moreover hasn't been officially translated over to the other language forums.

To have the really old and depressing news still show up in the announcements section works against positive marketing efforts, as noted.

Yes, very odd. The first forum category is Announcements, and there are none! Weird! I thought the game was back online?! Nothing has changed in over a year?!

I guess no-one is minding the store, after all. Pity.

Someone is. Obsolete news were deleted, and the announcements forum is now empty.

Really ? Then how did I manage to still click on the link on the right column (Posts) and access the piece of bad news ? It doesn't display if you click on announcement, but the thread is still there as far as I know.

The thread is more than 365 days old, which is why it won't appear if you go to the Announcement section. But if you go to the bottom left and select "Beginning" to display all the threads... you'll see that Marjo's "Some News" (bad news) thread is the most recent one. The thread hasn't been deleted. It hasn't been buried either. Nothing has been done.

Yay, now we get to keep trying to figure out which of the 12 sticky threads is the latest news and spend hours searching should we want to look up old threads. Good choice. :p
