Live feed

One thing that I missed during the server issues was some kind of direct intuitive feedback, having a "Server Status" page or even just some text near the top would help a lot. I believe such a function would decrease the negative feedback as well, seeing as lazy users (/new users/returning users such as me) would not have to guide themselves through the forums to find the news thread.

 

Basically what would be ideal would be to have a *Status and news* button near the top somewhere so that people could get directly to the information. In my opinion that area should optimally contain one list of online/offline servers, and possibly in the same list (or next to) there should be a list of offline/online services (NMM and whatever else). The third (and last) thing available there should be some kind of admin text, possibly the optimal thing would be to have a link to the latest admin news post so that people could give some kind of feedback.

 

It is a bad time to suggest even more stuff, seeing as you already have some problems wrapped around your heads considering the NMM issues, but please give me some kind of response that you have read this when you can. :turned:

Forgot to say, but adding an ETA for fixes would also burn down some of the recurring questions in the chat. Even if the ETA is "still looking for the error" people would accept that as a status where you inform you are currently working it out.
