Receive In-Game Message from the Arlor Post Office...
It would be very useful to have a way to exchange messages with other players who are offline. Many of us are in different time zones and are not online at the same times of day, and many players do not use the forum. Here is my suggestion....
1) The "Arlor Post Office" is a new place you can visit in the Great City of Kraag.
2) The Arlor Post Office is a store front which looks similar to the guild castle, and when you go inside there is an NPC which gives you access to your mailbox, just like the NPC who gives you access to your stash.
3) Since sending mail in the real world is not free, it is not free in Arlor either. Sending a message to another player costs 100 gold and can only be done while in the Post Office. By requiring that players go to the Post Office to send a message and pay 100 gold, we will cut down on the amount of spam being sent. If we make this feature free and accessible from the menu, then people will have their mailboxes cluttered with spam.
4) All players will have 3 message slots in their mailbox, and additional slots can be purchased for plat. (Yes, without some sort of plat revenue, I doubt STS will pursue this idea as it is probably NOT a small project)
5) If you attempt to send a message to someone whose mailbox is full, you will receive a notification that their box is full and you will NOT be charged 100 gold.
6) Players will receive an in-game message notifying them when they have a message waiting in their mailbox, similar to how they receive an in-game message when a crafting project is done or when they have a reward waiting from Klaas.
7) Players using a mobile game client can receive push messages when they have a message in their mailbox, the same way they receive notifications when a crafting project is done or when they have a reward waiting from Klass.
