Mailbox / Delivery System NEEDED !

[Abriael]

Great! Thanks for the reply! Maybe the should have spent just as much on learning how to use them properly.

Or maybe they know how to use them properly, and someone that has no idea of what are the problems involved shouldn't just assume that he knows better?

Or maybe you assume many people know little about something and you ASSUME SE knows everything? The fact is older out dated games have no problems doing this so either the software or server it's self sucks end of story. ORRR rather than saying they don't want to put it they will just say it's very hard to do. Considering they say it's hard to do many things other and older games do I think it's a mixture of all 3.

I'd be all for a Mognet-esque system like from FFIX where Moogles would be in certain areas of a city/field/dungeon and deliver your mail to you. They could also add quests that revolve around Mognet and also include delivering letters to other Moogles just like in IX. Artemicion & Stiltzkin could make an appearance too.

I am on-board with a previous posts suggestion that we all get a free "Moogle Retainers" that handle deliveries. The bells and the mechanics to summon retainers already exist. The only thing that would need to be developed is the means of keeping track of the goods.

The other alternative is to tie the system into the Market Wards, or a future Auction House ... but honestly I think that would take more development time.

I play Rift this pass weekend they give a weekend free 3days and i enjoy it very much but still not my type of game. I don't understand how a game like rift who just came out can be great even the pvp is pretty good unlock wow with "BOA cheat". I hope SE can fix all the issue with the servers.

It came out great because it is a near-complete copy of WoW, which has had years of success.

hm... mailbox ? i want moogle to deliver my mail for me.

I'm pretty sure if they put in an AH they'll put in a mailbox, the two kind of work together.

The groundworks for the mail/delivery box should already be in place as it was said by Tanaka that we would get one at the first patch of 2011. Then the whole lead shift came and Yoshi said he would take from Tanaka what he considered most important and work with that. Never would have thought that its now almost may, we still don't have a mailbox and im still spending hours trading stuff back and forth every day.

Just because there was a system in development does not mean that it now is the best time to implement it. First, consider that we don't know to what extent it was fleshed out or the completion status. Also, if there is to be many fundamental changes to core game systems it may just be a time sink that needs completely reworked later.

On another note, the dev team has to be careful spending a lot of time on temporary compromises (or quick fixes) because of how judgmental players and critics are. Everything they implement needs to be polished and rock solid.

Edit: Maybe having to plan around future console technical details is really complicating things. That is something other MMO's do not have to deal with. On-line console functionality can be quite proprietary (working out details with Xbox live/PSN).
