It is very common for a game to have system messages delivered to a mailbox (rather than to an already flooded system message area).

Is there any reason this is not available in AfterWorld?

It would make an easier place for a player to pick up notifications about things like completed terminal activities, reminders to extend storage rental, etc.

If could even provide a method for players to send messages to an offline player for later reading.

This has been suggested/requested too many times with never any response from the devs. Hopefully we'll see some kind of response to this one!

hmm,

when I start to place all ideas and suggestions we have in a list to not search like crazy on forum to see if anyone did that before, because is something useful and can be helpful to everyone to not repeat ourself , someone here very SFFmart  thought is better to comment against it, just for the sick of posting on forum, something that I was unable to understand, but here we r, all searching for old topics, and repeat ourselves over and over again,  ....what can I say?

Unfortunately,  "Table of Contents of the "greatest" ideas, features and suggestions"  does not work for me as it would be be unsafe to place my suggestions under a title with 'greatest' in it  :-X
I'll leave it to others to cross reference that particular topic to what they feel are great suggestions.

well jane if the quotes I put in don't tell u the sneer behind that " greatest" word then I failed to show my intention in the first place...sometimes the sarcasm should give us the smile and happiness to toy with an idea, that's the whole point of that side of the forum,

..ofc my poor English cant always reveal my intention, but I do my beast

cheers

well, to be honest, the suggestions that people write here in this section of the forum, they are for the devs, not for the players. sure, players may have input on the suggestion, but does their input matter, sure, if kinda does, but the real opions that matter is what the devs think about your idea.

to be realistic we probably don't have to worry about whether the devs heard about your idea or not, and i think they have said before that they look at every suggestion in the thread and consider it, because maybe your idea is good. so as long as the devs look at your idea, it doesn't matter if one person likes it, or 1000 people like it, it matters if the devs like it. :)

----
on topic, i like the idea, a mailbox inside the game would be great. of the few people that use the forum, probably even less of those use the mail system here. i do sometimes.. but if there was a mail system inside the game, i would probably use that every single time i log into the game

Yup, an in-game mailbox-style system would be used by everyone that has even a couple of people on their WRU! The Message system here is all well and good, but the game doesn't tell us when we have a message and we don't always open the forums (and some almost never do!) when we play AW so it's far too easy to miss forum messages.


Edit: Z.A.V., you've got the right idea! I sure hope the devs continue to read all suggestion/idea/request topics (and all of the others for that matter) and take them all into consideration. The problem is that they haven't responded to a single topic in this section in a very long time! It would be great if they could post even a few words in each topic and maybe list which ones have some chance of being implemented.
