Humm...well I can't say anything about the information board since I know nothing about it. But it bothers me to hear that such a simple thing as adding an information board can generate such poor results.
There would be no need for meetings with players regarding what information the Town Crier will be saying, because what they are sharing is world news, political news, event news, etc...granted each will have their own personality and style in the way they entice the crowd and tell of current events.
One good example is the event held with the Matis Kitinologist; they captured a Kitin, trapped him like a monkey in a cage, and are going to start studying it and more likely, since it is in Matis hand, experiment with it. Now this should be alarming news! If we had a TC he can easily relate this information to the masses in game.
