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.
Simutronics started (or took over) that Twitter account back in April. What's different now?
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!

Okay, this has my geek-antennae all a'twitchin'. This is so nerdly, I love it. :) It's like taking the old "Cleric Call-List" and totally automating it.

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.

I guess it's good I resisted having them sent to my phone. I just run the twitter feed in the background when I know I'm available to log in and respond to them. Admitting up front that I have no idea how feasible or not it is I would, however, be much more tempted to have them sent to my phone if there were separate feeds for the different instances.
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?

How does this even make sense? How does having the Prime players following their feed, Plat following their own, and whoever cares to following both translate into 'less attention paid to the game'?

>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. <GRIEVERX3>
I did the same. It seems like the majority of texts have been for plat, anyway (even before EG).
When they separate the feeds, I'll consider using it again, but right now it's just an annoyance.
