Mailbox / Delivery System NEEDED !

[Lyndis]

I did see the questioned asked though I'm not sure if it got answered or not.

YES they did get new servers for FFXIV and they aren't recycled FFXI ones. In the DVD that came with the collector's edition they show them off and talk up how much they spent on getting the best possible servers.

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.

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

My Cie which i wont name spent over 200 000$ for the new network infrastructure for the office i work in. Sadly none of the network engineers are very knowledgeable about this new equipment so we are getting problems daily....

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?

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.

It's extremely fun to see some people that think they can hypotesize on how the servers work without having even given a look at the code (or having no real knowledge of the engine and of game development in general).

It's extremely fun to see some people think that no-one but SE could possibly have any idea as to how the servers could work or have development related knowledge. Works both ways son.

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.

I have friends that I haven't had a chat with in a while that I'd like to send a letter to without having to wait for them to be online and at the computer in order to catch their attention. I want to let them know when I'm online so that we can try to play together. It would really make things much easier for us.

That being said, it'd be cool if the mailbox/delivery system allowed us to leave messages, too. At the moment, I don't know how to do that.

Sounds like somewhere i used to work, the architecture was probably built half assed and full of spaghetti code. That's the only reason i can think of, they managed it in XI after all.

They did indeed manage it in 11 but it was extremely limited and you couldn't send more than or recieve more than 8 items at a time.

Hopefully if they do implement mail boxes it is something robust which allows 100's of items to be sent and received.

Send 100s of items At once!? I don't think that's such a good idea.
