#1446 Integration of »Recent Events« from website in the game

"Usually we add NPCs (non-player characters) to make world more alive…"
To make the world apear more alive i'd like to make a suggestion for a group of NPCs.

A group of two or three men (NPCs A, B, C) sitting side by side on a bench,
(Something like:

looking at the distance (e.g. to the sea) or sitting and watching the gras grow or people going by and making statements about events in Stendhal. Best would be one makes a statement and some seconds later the others comment.

Statements could be about players reaching an achievement(1) (maybe without the easy ones), killing a not so often spawning, mighty or rarely killed creature(2), being killed by a creature(3) or special events that happend in the past. For that the events of the last 2 weeks or last month would have to be logged.

At every even Minute NPC (A) could make a statement about (1)
At every even Minute NPC (B) could make a statement about (2)
At every 5 Minutes plus 30 sec NPC (C) could make a statement about (3)

Examples:
A:»iluv reached achievement Novice last week «
B:»Not bad!«
C»Well done!«

B:»zombie killed a unicorn recently!«
C:»So few did this…«
A:»I killed one myself ones, you know. «
C:»Old show-off!«

C:»kribbel was killed by a giant in Semos City this month.«
A:»Poor fellow!«
B:»What an idiot, that wouldn't happen to me. «

C:»Now it's two years ago Ados was attacked by a giant hamster.«
A:»I remember, I lost a friend that day. «
B:»Great party aferwards, great BBQ!«

If players try to speak to the NPCs, they should answer »Sorry, I'm busy.«, »Can't you see I'm into something here?« »You should remain silent and listen, when adults talk!« etc. and end the conversation.

Variation 1:
In an other place women are sitten around a table (coffee klatch?) doing the same. Could be exacly the same statment at the same time, i think. Nobody should notice.

Variation 2:
Paperboy walking around and yelling » Special issue! postman reached achievement Stendhal High Master today.« (Like in old (western) movies, you know)
Here the "news" shouldn't be from long ago, only the last days. And the Paperboy should cry out one news several times. Perhaps leaving a building, walking around the block crying out one news several times, than entering the building. Leaving the building again and crying out the next news several times and so on.

I hope you understand the essentials I tired to outline.

thank you for considering
