Notifications and emails

The bell and your notifications, the pop-up notes and which ones you get, reminder emails, the newsletter and the language the game speaks to you in.

Last checked Category Your account and safety

The city keeps you posted in three ways: the bell for notices, pop-up notes for things happening right now, and the occasional email. Letters from other players are separate: they arrive in your Mail (the envelope).

The bell: your notifications

The bell at the top of the screen shows how many new notifications you have. Press it, or open All notifications, to see the list, newest first.

  • What comes in: news from the staff (to everyone, or to you alone) and notices from the game itself when something concerns you, such as a reply in a forum thread you follow or how your gang's job went.
  • Kinds: each one is marked Information, Game news, Event, Maintenance, Warning or Critical.
  • Critical notices (an outage, a security warning) also show as a banner on every page until you read them and press Got it.
  • Read: opening the list marks everything read. Mark all read does the same from anywhere.
  • Finding one: filter the list by kind, or search the words.
  • Your language: staff news comes in your language whenever there is a translation.
  • Some notices only last a while (an event, planned maintenance) and leave the list when they are over.

Pop-up notes

In the Graphical view, small notes pop up on the street when something happens (see Classic and Graphical views). In Account you choose which kinds you get:

  • Someone attacked you, and You're out of jail or hospital: these two are always on.
  • Your shift is ready, New mail, Your gang calls you to arms, A bounty on your head, A bar is full and Your course is done: switch each on or off.

Emails

  • Reminder emails (Account): off unless you switch them on. One after a week away, and one after a month with what's new. Never offers or adverts. With them on, you also get a short reminder email before a gang job you have a seat on (see Organised crimes).
  • Newsletter (Account): news about the game now and then. Off unless you ask; you get an email with a link to confirm, and you are not on the list until you use it.
  • Messages about your account itself are always sent.

Language

Account → Language sets the language of the game, your emails and your notifications.

Tips

  • Missed something? The notifications list keeps the older ones; filter by Game news to see the latest changes.
  • Turn off the pop-ups you don't need, but leave New mail on if you trade with other players.
