Item transfer between characters on same account

[ShackledDreams]

I was planning on paying for a standard subscription until I found out that it's impossible to mail items to my own alts.

Same here. Currently, the only incentive to paying for multiple months is that those interested in role playing can stay with their community and the rest of us can get earlier access to the veteran rewards. I don't mind waiting on the rewards and have no interest in role playing, so it's useless to have two characters on the same server.

The best fix for this would be what Thodoll suggested and allow us to send friend requests to people that are offline. Yet, those of us who would have had multiple characters will likely stick to one now as it's be a pain to relevel crafting or gathering classes. The only immediate plus would be getting all the Gil you could earn via quest rewards, but at this point, that time would be better spent selling goods on the market board (unless the economy were to tank, of course).

This is a major issue. We need account wide retainer for characters on same server, or the ability to friend our own alts offline. This must be in the first patch. You have no idea how many long term players will leave your game over this one thing.

"But you can do everything on one character" people need leave no comment. I could paint everything in my house red if I wanted to. I could have a more intelligent conversation with a guppy.
