Hail, gamers!
We’re
very pleased to announce the implementation of our first-ever in-game Knowledge Base! As we continue to add pertinent articles to this exciting new feature, we’d love for each of you to explore the depths of information we’ve provided and offer us feedback via this thread.
The idea of this Knowledge Base is to grant players the proper resources to examine “Top Issues” which should help spread awareness about issues which may be generating a good deal of petitions for our Game Master staff. In addition, we have scores of articles based on frequently asked questions our support departments have been receiving which will arm players with the cognizance of several aspects of the game’s functionality and our underlying policies and procedures.
Although the Knowledge Base is made to be very user-friendly, I’d like to briefly provide a run-down of its setup and functionality:
The Knowledge Base can be accessed by selecting the
red question mark (Help Request) in the lower right portion of the game’s standard interface, similarly to the way one would ordinarily go about submitting an in-game petition.
Knowledge Base layout:
- ”Top Issues” button – Selecting this button will instantly provide players with a listing of the Knowledge Base top issues in the search field (the top issues will display when first opening the Knowledge Base). The results from this category are generated automatically based on the rate at which players are reviewing specific articles.
- Search field – Players may input any keywords into this search function in order to retrieve related articles.
- Category & Subcategory – Preset categories can be chosen if one wishes to browse articles pertaining to specific aspects of the game (example: one may choose to search for articles relating to “combat & PvP” with “battlegrounds” as a subcategory to view all related articles to this genre).
- Search Results – Results on your search will be displayed in the big box in the middle. Clicking on any article will take one to the full body of that article.
- Open a ticket – If at any time you are unable to find the article for which you’re searching and have questions about an aspect of the game, feel free to use this button to submit a ticket as normal.
Important Features:
Performing a mouseover of any found articles or Messages of the Day will display the full subject text in a separate window.
A
“Hot Issue” will sometimes be noted with a little flame icon which indicates the article provides insight into a topic about which we are receiving many reported questions or concerns. An article will be flagged (or un-flagged) as such by our department manually.
A yellow exclamation mark next to any article means it has been recently updated.
Please provide us, via this thread, constructive feedback on improvements/suggestions you’d like to see made to this new feature! We’re very excited about having the ability to spread awareness in-game of our most common issues, and welcome your ideas for the future of this Knowledge Base.
