GW does use wma files to play music, doen't it?

Why not to talk to our 'dear MicroSoft friends' and add a feature to log, talk and use MSN inside the game instead of an inner system that would require more servers?

I have having to Alt-Tab

Yeah this would be nice. Send gifts, return borrowed items or just send a messege to that person.

WoW has Mail. With the mailboxes all about. MUST HAVE MAIL.

Pay on Delivery, pay on sending, etc. Have items inside the bank, so when you recieved item, your item is sent to them. As for Spam, having a Pay to send fixture would cut-block that.

That would be so nice for guilds, it would be soo much easier for a guild leader to keep in contact with his guild, because i've noticed that ppl over look the guild announcement, and its almost impossible to get your entire guild to register on the forums, I have Officers who refuse to register on forums, so i mean this would make a guild officers job so much easier, because a guild forum would just be an add on, not a necessity

Well... cince you can maptravel so easily in this game I don't think you need delivery systems unles you play in different schedules than other people...

the feature has been invaluable in a couple other games i played. sending gifts would be nice as well, but, ahem, a little bit too similar to The Game That Shall Not Be Named.

I would like to expand on this idea. I would like to see, in towns and outposts, something like a bulletin board with a faq or something so you're not hearing and answering the same question, over and over.

During the halloween event, how many times did you answer the question, when is the mad king getting here? Or like with the bug on the quest, "To Dye For", what's wrong with this quest?

I think it would also help people who have more than one account. I guess it is rather irritating to not be able to 'trade' with yourself because you only have one computer.

Good Idea?

um ok i just posted something like this acouple days ago and no one liked it

well great minds think alike i guess i think its a smart idea

Yeah the game needs mail bad....if I want to contact someone I can't leave them a message, I have to wait until they login.......its pretty annoying.

Games like WoW have mail services, and it pretty nice.

I would love having a mail service....we need one.

ArcaneApostle · Nov 22, 2006, 12:21 AM // 00:21

It can be hard to synchronize play schedules with people you met online; mail would be a good feature, maybe in a similar format to the guild announcement thing. And perhaps it could send a copy of in-game mail to your real email account, too (only if toggleable, of course)?

Wasted space. Seems really unnecessary, use real email.

Best Idea so far. It wouldn't even waste space if engineered correctly, you'd simply get a one time message the next time you log on if you have mail.

I have to say something: Yes, using real email makes sense, but sometimes we don't know the email addresses of our GW friends. Before my video card went bad, I used to hang out with my online friends often. I never asked them for their email address. I saw no reason to ask for their email address since I see and talk to them almost every time I log in to Guild Wars. A few months before my video card died, my friends weren't logging in as frequently as they used to. I wanted to know why, but couldn't find out because I didn't log at the same time as my friends did so I couldn't whisper them.

So uh, ingame mail would be really helpful.

But who will pay/upkeep for this feature? Its another one of those AH suggestions, will we ever see it?

nevertheless a good idea,

Mail just makes things so much easier, and it's also a lovely way of sending and receiving gifts.
If they do implement so-called "Life Skills", and people can make all sorts of interesting crap, it would be great sending such crap to eachother through in-game mail.
The last time I played WoW, a friend of mine sent me a telescope through the mail. That was really quite cool

Abuse : I (and countless others) use the mailbox as additional storage. Send a ton of stuff to an alt, and the alt lets those stay in the mailbox till they're needed. In WoW, alts have almost no direct relation to the main - no shared storage, no shared guild etc. So in GW, I dont think this can be abused, since you wouldnt be able to send mails to yourself. Storage is cheap anyway, so I never felt guilty using the system in this manner, given how much money Bliz is getting off us.

I've suggested this myself, but that was back when I had no idea there was this thing called "search".
