Every time when the server is being updated send an email to all registered accounts on the website, you can also do this when the server is hosting events like mini games, log in for a hat in a specific time, Halloween haunted house event, and more different events.

Well nice idea like every special offer it emails them as well also there could be a monthly version of the craftland times?

We are already doing that jaylee, all old players got an email from craftland if they havent joined in a long time. But we can't send it out every update because then our email will get blacklisted and it will automatically go into everyones junk mail.

I got every week a twitter or whatever newsmail, how is it that this is not blacklisted? Please explain me.
And if whatsoever the old players dont comeback, I mean what so ever? If anyone would take it to make just a monthly newsflash with a hillarious scrennshot plus five lines I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Twitter and other email services are using complex headers. (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22454?hl=en" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) Plus options like twitter sending you an email that you opted into is different than nide sending all the craftland emails a message.
