There are many situations in which a player wishes to contact anyone on the server with a similar interest. For example:
- APQ, CWKPQ, and any other pq that runs too infrequently for the staging area
to be a viable recruiting place;
- irregular boss runs;
- training partners (for himes, newts, skeles...);
- leech sellers / buyers;
Currently, a person looking for such people, can either smega for them (costs NX and annoys the entire server population), spam in FM or other likely spots (inefficient), or ask guild/alliance and buddy list to help find them (imposes on friends, inefficient).
I suggest the introduction of "interest group" broadcast lists.
People could, for example, sign up for a random zrun interest group. Whenever anyone tries to get a run together, they would broadcast on this group, and only the people signed up will receive the message. A lot fewer irrelevant people annoyed by spam, a much better chance of reaching the right people.
