Beskeder og Chat

Communication

In a multiplayer game, communication is key. Use the messaging system to send and receive messages, or talk right away with others with the chat function. You can also join in discussions on the game forum. But please make sure that when you communicate with people that you use a friendly tone and do not offend or hurt anyone.

Message Center Overview

On the mobile apps for the game you can access the message center from the right hand side menu buttons.

On the browser version of the game you can locate the message center among the game menu buttons in the bottom left corner, it is the one that has the icon of an envelope.

If you receive a new message, the icon will flash, notifying you that you have new messages to read. Once you open the message center you will already be able to see the messages you have received.

When you open the Message Center you will see three folders. The Message Center can be divided into three categories. The guild category, the social category, and the official category. Each category has its own message folder.

In the social category, you can create conversations with other players, be it friends, neighbors, or someone you just met.

When you have a conversation that you would like to follow more closely, you can click on the yellow star on the right side of the message, or click on "Mark as Favorite" when you are in the message window.

By clicking on "#Favorites" you will see all of the conversations that you marked as favorite. You also have the option to hide a conversation, this will hide them from your social category and you won't get any notifications when a player sends a message in that conversation. But you can still view the conversation by clicking on "#Hidden".

In the top left corner you will notice a small button - clicking on this will give you several options

In the guild category you can find all your guild conversations. At the top you have the main guild conversation that is automatically created when you create a guild. You can add new conversation by clicking on the "New" button on the top right of your screen. After you fill out your topic name and Message, click on "create message" to create a message shared by all the guild members. All guild conversations will be automatically updated when a member joins or leaves your guild. The guild category has an extra "#Important" tab that shows all messages that one of the guild leadership marked as important

Last but not least, you can find all official announcements or system messages in the official category. In this category we share you all the latest updates about Forge of Empires. You can also find game messages such as League Results in this category.

Additionally, whenever you have a conversation where all participants have left, the message will be shown with a white flag and 'Aborted Message' as a title. You can leave conversations by clicking the red trash can icon. Please note once you leave a conversation you will no longer receive any of the message in it.

Creating Messages

To send a message to another player, you click on the New tab in the Message Center.

By clicken Edit, to the right in the new message window, you will have the option to input other player names. Once you start typing a name, you will see a list of suggestions from your neighbors, guild mates, or friends, that match that name. Clicking on the name will add them as a recipient of your message. When you are done adding people to the message, click on the green Save button, and the Recipients list will be shown to the right of your message window.

If you have the 'notifier' permission rights in your guild, you will also have an 'Add All Guild Members' button. When you have added at least 2 players to a conversation, you will also be able to type in a name for it.

It is a similar case with the mobile applications for the game. Once you have entered the message center, simply click on the New message button, and the rest will be the same as the pc edition.

Message Attachments

If you would like to link a player to a great building or a trade offer, message attachments can be used to embed these directly in messages you send. To use this function, simply press the paperclip button in the message window.

Once clicked, you have the option of selecting either one of your Great Buildings or one of your trade offers to send to the player.

Once you click "send", the attachments are sent in a seperate message. This also works with group and guild messaging!

Options in Messages

If you've thought there are various situations where we would want to interact with a player directly from a message, rest assured you can do that!

By clicking on the avatar of a player within a message, you will find the options to:

• Visit their city;
• To add them as a friend;
• To write a private message directly to them;
• To ignore them, making it impossible for either of you to send messages to each other - to revert this you can click on the player and choose 'unignore' or you can send them a message;
• To report them to the moderating team if you believe there is a breach of the game rules.

In the top left corner you will once again find a small button. By clicking this you will be able to leave a conversation, to find out more information about a conversation - like a list of participants, or to return to the main message center window.

Chat

Chatten er ikke en del af beskedcenteret . Chatten finder du i øverste højre side. For tiden er det kun muligt at bruge chatten på pc i browserversionen. Der er to knapper i bunden af chatten. Disse giver dig mulighed for at maksimere eller minimere chatten.

Med chatten har du mulighed for at skrive direkte med andre spillere. Der er tre faner i øverste venstre side af chatten:

• Global Chat. Denne omfatter alle spillere i den verden du spiller;
• Nabo Chat. Denne omfatter dine Naboer i denne verden du spiller;
• Klan Chat. Denne omfatter kun din klan i den verden du spiller.

Klikker du på en spillers navn i chatten, vil du få vist forskellige muligheder :

• Rapporter spilleren ( og deres tekst fra chatten ) til support;
• Besøge deres by;
• Tilføje dem som ven;
• Ignorere dem . Det vil da ikke være muligt længere at læse beskeder fra dem i chatten;
• Hvisk. En privat chat mellem 2 spillere.

Klan Forum

Du har også mulighed for at oprette og deltage i debatter i klanens egen forum. Klan forum er kun mulig i browser versionen af spillet. Du kommer til Klanforum, ved at klikke på det tredje ikon, i hovemenuen nederst i venstre hjørne. Klanforum knappen har et skjold og diskussions ikon.

Klanforum er kun for medlemmer af klanen.Der er også mulighed for at oprette tråde, delt med en anden klan. Der kan oprettes tråde der er skjulte, som kun vil være synlige for dem der har rettigheden "Betroet". Disse tråde er perfekte mødested for Grundlæggere og ledere i klanen .Ønsker du at lave en afstemning er det også en mulighed i klanens forum.

Alle i klanen kan oprette en ny tråd, og deltage i debatten. Administration af klanforum (Lukke en tråd, oprette nye forum sektioner, skifte mellem skjult eller normal tråd, osv. ) kræver dog at man er oprettet som "Moderator" Grundlæggere og ledere er som standard altid Moderatorer.
