Forum Request/Suggestion
I was going to post this in Server maintenance posts are hard to find, but then I realized I'd be a bit of a hypocrite based off of the contents of my post. So I just started a new thread instead to hopefully get better attention. Credit to the author of that thread for invoking my reply either way.
Under "Official Tera News" header on the forum home page, instead of "News & Announcements," break that down into 4 categories:
This way, maintenance notes won't have to be posted in General discussion or as a reply to an unofficial thread that no one would ever find unless they were reading through all user posts. Despite having "Announcement" under the title, this forum does not display Official EnM posts in a decent manner, and it's hard to find them even when they're at the top of Gen Discuss. They need to be strictly placed in one category forever, with no exceptions.
By having all those separate categories, people interested in EMP-related affairs can check promotions often; people wanting to know when the god-forsaken Mongos will return can check events; people that need to check maintenance statuses can go to Maintenance, and those that want to view news, or specific announcements in general, can go to the category of interest specifically, and find what they're looking for without fail.
Overlooking the fact that all of the aforementioned categories fall under News/Announcements, it's annoying to have all of that jumbled into one category or posted sporadically in General Discussion, and makes it messy when you have two recent News posts, but only one shows up on the "latest post," and you won't know there are two new EnM threads.

- News (Developer notes/letters, upcoming major patch overview/notes, etc)
- Maintenance (Weekly maintenance, maintenance extension notices, (patch notes if applicable)
- Events (Current/upcoming events such as Rootstock/Kyra/Mongo, more milestone evens -.-, etc)
- Promotions (Sales, New EMP store releases, etc)

Also while it's not a perfect solution I keep track of posts made by treeshark, spacecats, and co with the tera dev tracker. It's pretty helpful since a lot of stuff does seem to get lost.
