Connecting Village Alerts to Twitter

[Touchmee 378]

Hi,

 

Not sure if this is something that has already been noted but I am fairly sure its a more recent problem. When linking Village Alerts to Twitter it requests you create an app in the development portal of Twitter, in the past this was straight forward and a simple process however due to Twitter's further restrictions to their Development Portal you now need to apply to be authorised to create applications. Unfortunately this isn't just an apply button, you are required to fill out an application form with sections requiring 200+ words.

 

I haven't attempted this form at current but is there another way the Village to Twitter alerts can be done without this process?

 

Thanks

It's required, but all you really need to include is "This app will use the MMORPG wurm online village notification system to automatically push notices for the village to a twitter feed. It will send events such as enemy players entering local, notices of imminent disbanding and other various information. As the game is an open world full loot sandbox it means that at any point of the day our village may be raided by enemy players, requiring us to mobilise defences. The use of this app will allow us to monitor the ingame village outside of the game when we are too busy to play"

 

Should suffice, mostly it's wanting to avoid botspam

Thanks Retro,

 

Will give it a try this evening.
