Nice little cosmetic change - for a very small fee, allow a player to have a customized message that gets sent to players they pod. Instead of "you were destroyed by xxx in sector xxx" a player could have the message say something like "you've been pwned by a noob flying a magic carpet!"
Just another potential way to increase our revenue stream
SMR Credit Feature - Customized Pod Messages

Re: SMR Credit Feature - Customized Pod Messages
I like it, Jouldax. But wouldn't we want to make sure that the message does not violate the game restrictions on language, etc?
Re: SMR Credit Feature - Customized Pod Messages
Well couldn't they just be banned like ingame and global messages? I see no reason to just keep the same rules on things like this.
Re: SMR Credit Feature - Customized Pod Messages
I think I'd still want to keep the language relatively clean, but there are plenty of ways to say "I pwnd your face without swearing our using slurs"
Re: SMR Credit Feature - Customized Pod Messages
I like the idea a lot, and I don't mind using "in your face" language, but threatening, racial or very vulgar language would not be acceptable in my view.

Re: SMR Credit Feature - Customized Pod Messages
Approved, however does require more specifics before it can be moved to coding que.
Ei: Where would this be located, what kind of pricing structure, is this only displayed to the person that was podded or displayed in the news? Graphics aloud? require pre-approval before being able to use it?
etc.

To answer your questions: I don't know about pricing yet (definitely cheap, maybe the same as ship re-name; will depend somewhat on other features we implement); It should be displayed in the news if possible in addition to the pod message sent to the player; Yes, graphics are ALLOWED but yes, there would also need to be pre-approval to make sure the content is not inappropriate.
