Personally I like the new "forced" thread and don't see what all the butt-hurt is about. Our guild uses it as our "general conversation" thread. You know, the kind of thing that everybody and their fleas wants to start a new thread to talk about? Polish my blacksmith. Motivate my academy. Stone for marble. Free blueprints on mine Babels towering. That sort of thing. It will really cut down on new threads, I think, and if it doesn't? Well, I'll just remove messaging rights from trigger happy guild-mates. If they get butt-hurt? They can leave. Simple. We still have our sticks thread, GvG thread and a couple other sundry threads that get used enough that they don't get lost. Overall the mailbox issue is much easier to handle for me. Nobody has to screw with it when new members come into the guild or leave the guild -- it's hassle free. That being said, I do think founders should have a choice in using it. I challenge anyone to find a game this complicated anywhere on the planet that allows as little customization as this one. I mean seriously, we have 5 options. FIVE. Go-Fish has more variations.. especially if liquor is involved.
But while I defend this new thread, I will still express my disgust with Inno. I'm one of the most active fighters on my server and now I can't even participate in GvG at recalc because the update broke my browser and no others browsers will work. And everyone is so scared of us, all they do is put up enormous bubble screens every day at calc to keep us from burning their fields and stealing their wheelbarrows. So, until this gets fixed, I'm building up more rogues I guess. Suckers better hope Inno doesn't fix their mess.
