Idea! -You've got mail.

[Usagi]

Only i agree on the problems and think this will be very hard and some players might never care to check their mail.

I think this was my other idea of server space prevention...I believe that putting like a 30 day (or 10 day) limit on how long the message stays in the inbox before it is automatically deleted.

Messages are picked up on the hour every hour from certain points?

Then they are sent to the main post office, where they are available 15 minutes after being picked up, or at any post office 30 minutes after being picked up.

You pay $1000 to send a message, and admins can't just read them in the mainchat, so it's more private in a sense. This will allow you to send more private stuff, which won't be viewed to every admin ingame, but we'll still have access if we go to the post office (needed).

I like all this! Nice ideas!

...i think it would be better if  only people with their own houses could do it. That would also encourage people to donate!

Iono, I think if you want to donate you want to, and if you don't - you don't. I don't think mail is a good enough of a privilege to get someone to pay money/donate. At least for me, mail or no mail wouldn't be the breaking point for me to decide to donate. It's all about the income (in real life).

I suppose my idea in general wasn't so much of a diddle after all!
