How effective are the notes/paper?

I always check them if i see one lying on the floor 9/10 are blank though.

 

I won't bother writing anything until they add persistence.

Haven't ever found a written note, but at one stage we wrote "Do not open this door" on one of them and left it just outside a house in Svet. Waited a little while before somebody got to the door, stopped, presumably read it and then just walked off. The potential for fun with the notes is endless once they become persistent though!

I do often carry a note on my character for my would be killer to read. I haven't found any notes written by others, either on bodies or lying around, although I always check when I find a paper if something is written on it.

 

I have written a couple of random messages a dropped at places I expected people to appear, but all these 2hour restart servers really makes leaving notes in the wild a waste of time atm.

I have a note on my 90 hour survivor stating how long he has been alive and where I have been.

 

On my Hardcore player I have my Steam name and directions for where I want my hat left in memorium (the ruins on the hill west of Polana).
