How News Works Going Forward
4 hours ago
We’re changing how we communicate updates so information stays readable today and still findable months later.
What’s changing
1) Discord = brief + scannable
Discord announcements will be:
- Short
- Easy on the eyes
- Focused on what you need to do (downtime, action items, “does this affect me?”)
2) Website = the full breakdown
The detailed versions of posts will live on the website in News:
- One post per topic (LUP, ranks, migrations, new servers, etc.)
- Organized by category
- Searchable
- Easy to link (staff can send you one page instead of re-explaining everything)
3) Wiki = permanent “how it works”
If it’s not news and it’s not temporary, it belongs in the Wiki. Examples of Wiki topics (already in progress):
- Economy basics
- Sign shops (how to create/use)
- Ranks + progression (LUP)
- Chat colors / cosmetics
- Network-specific systems that don’t belong in modpack documentation
Why we’re doing this
Discord is great for “right now” — but terrible for:
- Finding a post from 2 months ago
- Not reading through 300 messages
- Avoiding repeated questions
- Keeping guides up-to-date
The website solves that.
What you can expect
- Major changes will always have a News post.
- Most News posts will include:
- TL;DR
- Who this affects
- Action items
- FAQ
- Links to related posts / wiki pages
Where to ask questions
If your question is about your account specifically (migration, rank, voucher, missing data):
- Use Discord tickets (so we can handle it privately + properly).
If it’s a general question:
- Ask in the public help channels (#ask-the-cubes).
Thanks for sticking with us, this makes everything easier going forward.
