Offline messages

Recommended Posts

Okay, I play both Runescape and World of Warcraft; one feature I found on World of Warcraft and many other MMO games is a mail system.

In WoW, each major city and many small villages have mailboxes where you can send mail to anybody you may want to; after a short processing period, they receive a little icon on their minimap indicating that they should check their mailbox - they will then be able to read your message.

 

I think something similar to this would have a great positive impact on runescape as you can send these messages when a person is offline, and they will be able to read it when they come back on. Ever had an old friend who you haven't seen for a while and want to find out how they are doing? You can just send them a mail and they can reply when they next log on.

 

Another aspect is to send items - if this was implemented, I think it would only be fair to have each player's trade limit changed when items are sent/received just like a regular trade.

 

There will evidently be plenty of both positive and negative support, and if you have any problems/suggestions, please don't hesitate to post - but remember, constructive criticism please!

Support. I think you should be able to send "picture mail" only for items. And you would need to go to a special mailbox (maybe banks?) to get said mail. Money could be sent also. But an item limit. About 5 should do. A "postage" for this kind of mail would be cool too. Perhaps 100 gp per item or a percent of the items value? (there would be a 500 gp cap for this so the prices arnt crazy). I dont know about anyone else, but this amount of realism/balance would be really cool.

I think an option would be cool.

Some form of spam control would be needed too. Only X messages per X minutes. No duplicates, etc.
