Someone anyone please help me understand why this game have been out this long and does not have a mailbox. It seems so crazy to me that there even exists an MMO without a mailing system. Lets go gather mats for someone and send it to them so they can get the item when they wake up even if your not on.....no sorry cannot do that. Lets move an item from one character to another.....no sorry cannot do that. In a different town from someone else that wants an item from you? No worries just put it in the mailbox......no sorry cannot do that.
Any what is the best part? they are not even talking about it as if the idea of a mailbox is unheard of?
I'm sorry but this just feels crazy to me that SE is this out of touch. Does anyone else feel as if SE has just completely lost it?
Where is the MAIL BOX?!?!!?

We'll get a mail system when the AH is put into the game.
Now, resume your caps lock and button mashing of !'s and ?'s to get your idea and complaint across (because we know it's so effective) /nod -

Its usually at the end of the street, at least in the UK. I'm fortunate there is one outside my house just round the side of the house.

XIV is self serve thus even if there was a mailbox there are no couriers, pretend middle ages your going to have to hire a servant boy(another player) to deliver your mail. If there was a mail system we wouldn't have to walk to each camp to turn in craft leves.

*facepalm* eh god...... why do so many people think that if they present their idea like this, SE would listen?

I'd like to see them add item transit abilities to the retainers, myself. I'd like to see item and gil transfers handled by retainers, and let mailboxes be used for actual mail.

06-17-2011, 11:58 AMRowyneI agree. It drives me nuts that we don't have one, for all the above reasons you mentioned.Quote:

At this point, I have absolutely zero faith in SE's capabilities to implement a working, functional mailbox.
"You asked for it! In the next version update we will be implementing mailboxes for players. We will use the in game mailbox to inform players on the latest SE news. You won't be able to transfer gil or items using the mailboxes, but we have 14 different types of stationary to choose from when you create your letters to other players. At this time, letters are limited to 80 characters, and you will only be able to send letters to people on your friend list... who are online. We hope you're as excited about this addition as we are!" -
06-17-2011, 12:10 PMnormalforceIt's in the mail, obviously. ^_^Quote:

SE has stated there are server conflicts with adding a delivery system. Would present the link to the interview, but don't feel like finding it.

Thanks to those that actually gave constructive responces ^^. It is good to see that I am not the only one that thinks that it is crazy that there is no mailing system in this game. As a crafter/gatherer myself, I really could use one thats why I care so much about it. ^^

Here's an idea. Give us player housing with a dropoff box outside each player's house, no need for mailmen this way. At least this beats hunting down others just to hand them a few items.

06-17-2011, 03:38 PMRowyneI'd love to have an NPC mail squire. ;)Quote:

Fortunately the car manufacturers we not sell models without steering wheel or windscreen wiper (joke inside). why release a game with server problems, the main core of a online game ... ?
I will never understand -
06-17-2011, 03:52 PMIsaaru
Because as you can probably tell by now, the original development team wasn't so great at making this game... lol

In game mailing system is absolutely essential to any kind of idea of success that this game could ever want or even wish to have in the future. I guess what sux the most about the lack of a mailing system is that we all know it is going to come in the future, it has to, there is no way around it. So instead of making everyone complain about where it is, why not release the freaking thing.

06-18-2011, 04:11 AMVerecundHahaha... seems they took the "Middle Ages" RPG meme so seriously that they actually reverted the gameplay itself back to the Middle Ages...Quote:

For those that cannot forgive people for a few caps in a post I have edited it to take them away. Now we can focus on getting that mailbox! Wahoo!!Quote:

06-18-2011, 01:10 PMdarkstarpoet1no, you can form an opinion which is what seems stands for. it does not mean anything is a fact and it can be proved otherwise. it is an opinion based off what has been done up til this point to make the game better.Quote:

5. adding new "jobs" that you will not rank up even though people are already getting most classes to cap.
6. side quests that are a waste of time and effort to do.
the game is going in reverse of where it was when it was released or at the very least staying even. this is where is seems to me as they are not any better. they may change my mind, but doesn't mean at this point that's not the opinion.
