So that the mailbox doesn't get filled with spam from an obnoxious friend, or you just get too many messages, the messages should have a life span of about 3 days and there can't be more than 25 messages. I've needed to tell people things like when should we meet up later or things like that, or if I have to leave early and my friend is expecting me to get on.

I want to be able to send message to my friends when they're offline. So I've been wanting this for a very long time. I'm primarily a solo player and I feel it would be great to send a mail message off to another player, extending the hand of friendship as an alternative to a third-party website. Some people are shy and can express their requests much easier over time in a prepared message than under pressure of a whisper text, or open chat and risk ridicule. Should a wizard receive a similar type message in their mailbox, they could have the same ability to block/ignore future mail from that sender. KI implements several great options in your settings to block/ignore beggar-type text messages from those players who are looking to take advantage of a stranger's kindness. In other MMOs, the fee for mailing messages helped deter receiving junk messages from 'bot' players. If a player wishes to receive messages from strangers, then I'm sure KI could place an option to do so. It could be limited to a player's friends list ONLY, and would promote group play. I think this would make a great add to the game to have a simple mail system to like send reminders to offline players so when they come online they can see that.Paid messages? No thanks.Īnd with the messaging system we have, I don't see the reason for this anyway.Īn in-game mail system would be beneficial for Wizards101 for several reasons. I think this would make a great add to the game to have a simple mail system to like send reminders to offline players so when they come online they can see that. This is just a rough draft of the idea so, leave questions below! Then, my friend knows that at 6PM she will need to be online.Īs usual, sending items from your backpack is not going to be a feature like in the normal game, you can't trade items.

But with a mail system, players can send each other paid letters to their friends.įor example, let's say my friend if offline and I need to tell her that once I get online I need help questing and I will be back at 6PM. Basically how the chat system works like!) For example, I have to wait for countless hours sometimes for my in-game buddy to get on because I have to tell them something. In the end, this idea isn't really possible, as much as I would love to see it happen.I've played a lot of MMOs and such and I've across some stressing issues in Wizard101 that do not allow me to fully communicate with friends if they're offline.īasically, I was thinking we could add a mail system where players can write each other letters (Still blocking the inappropriate language, and random letters like 'p'. Some nefarious Toon could easily tell our servers they caught 8000 Devil Rays, and our servers would have no way to separate those who are telling the truth from those who are lying. In the end, it would be possible for you to fish offline, but the problem comes down to trusting your results.

As a result, the only secure way for us to be sure that the fish you caught was chosen in a secure and fair manner is to have our servers choose it themselves. Fishing offline would end up working exactly like this: whenever you report your data back to our servers, we have no idea if the calculations were performed fairly. This means that our servers can trust the number of fish you caught.įor the second component, the die rolling, think about it like this: if this were a game of D&D, and you rolled the die out of sight of every other player and simply told us what you rolled, we wouldn't believe you.

When you're playing on our servers, our servers take on two responsibilities: ensuring you are playing by the rules of fishing and performing the 'die roll' to figure out what fish you caught.įor the first component, you simply can't tell our servers 'yeah i cast my rod 8000 times this hour' because our servers played a part in each cast you made. When it comes to lying to computers, people will lie without remorse because, hey, it's a computer.Īnyway, the reason why trust would be an issue is because of who is doing the calculations for fishing. While I love the idea of being able to take tasks in Toontown offline so that you can carry them around with you, it comes down to one issue: trust. Sorry guys, but I'm about to do this to whatever amount of hype train exists in this thread.
