FAQ
â–¸How often should I post status updates?
During an ongoing issue, post an update at least every 30-60 minutes even if there is no new information. Silence makes players wonder if anyone is working on the problem.
â–¸Should I use in-game messages for status updates?
Yes. Pair Discord announcements with in-game messages so connected players see the update without leaving the game. Our tool generates both formats.
â–¸What tone should I use for emergency downtime?
Use "Urgent" or "Apologetic" tone depending on the situation. Urgent is best for unexpected crashes. Apologetic works well when the downtime affects many players and you want to acknowledge the disruption.
â–¸What should a resolved message include?
Confirm that the server is back online, briefly explain what caused the issue if known, and thank the community for their patience. A simple follow-up goes a long way.
â–¸Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free. No login, no sign-up, and no hidden costs. Built by QUESTPAUSE.
