In Game Mail System

[TehRage Profile]

I have no idea if this is something that is an available addon or not, but for people like me trying to manage the Flea Market, a mail style system where I can leave something for someone when they log in next would be great. This comes up because a specific someone has yet to /cprivate there chests in the Flea Market, I don't want someone to steal there stuff and I have no idea how to contact them out of game.

Well most of us use [Donate Hand] signs as mail, perhaps this person has some somewhere as well? or we could possibly set up a central "post office" that's full of signs and maybe a box or two and players can pay a "postage" fee like every month or so? or even make it free.

I love the post office idea.... I'll have to work on that =-)

i would help design/build a post office if you guys like this idea. i have [DonateHand] Signs in sky5 and at my house for people to give me items but with the introduction of editable books coming in 1.3 this will make leaving notes easy for people, and would eliminate the NEED for asim0v and TorontoMario to leave signs for people that violate various rules.

Nothing will eliminate the need to leave signs for rule violations. I need to make sure the person sees the message, and there's no better way to do that when they aren't online than a sign in front of their house. As a bonus, it also reinforces the rules for other residents that stop to look.

So I've spoke with a few people about the design that I was wanting to use for the post office. I'm thinking about turning the "U-STOR" (chest storage facility over by the Flea Market) into the first Post Office. It will be like a Mailboxes Etc, Pakmail or something like that. I'll be putting the envelope design on top of the U-STOR so that it will be able to see it on the dynmap. I may just use this as the design going forward and make it a multipurpose building.

If this "U-STOR/Post Office" is put in any other cities or towns it will 100% comply with building standards per the city. I will not be operating this for profit of any type, just like the Flea Market. I'll be providing Ink & Quills for very cheap as well as Chests, normally at below market price for materials. I'll be working on a redesign for the first couple floors of the U-STOR and have it available for people to see hopefully late this evening or Sunday sometime.

Give me some feedback please.

NOTE: I'm NOT wanting to privatize this specifically, this can be a community collaboration like the DoT. I'm just wanting to get this ready for when 1.3 goes live and we can just add the items to the chests to sell.
