I realize we have had discussions on this but I figured let's put it to a vote. 

 

Please see Spirit's note below. I'm sorry. I was not aware of any changes upcoming.

Think these are current prices now.

 

 

Hi folks,

 

Ok we've been discussing the mail system and will be making some adjustments to the prices with a hot-fix next week.

 

Supporter Costs

First 4 mails per day - 25 silver.

First 2 attachments per day - 25 silver.

Normal price of mail - 50 silver

Normal price of an attachment - 2 EP.

 

Non-Supporter Costs
First mail per day - 50 silver.
First attachments per day - 50 silver.
Normal price of mail - 1 gold
Normal price of an attachment - 4 EP.

 

Note : All prices double after 10 mails per day for all players.

 
I don't really have a reason to use mail unless I need to contact an offline person about something. At least mail costs coins now and not "EP" like before. But I really have no comment on the other prices... :/

This is my first impression of the mail system. Someone sent me a message and I automatically sent a message back and was surcharged 5 ep for it. That is the last time I used it.   It costs 5ep to send a basic message. It costs 10 ep to send a item, lol? It's a shame since the mail system could be a great thing for messaging and sending money/items between friends. I've waited a long time for a MAIL and a BUY/SELL feature and when it came it was quite disappointing to say the least. I got a bad feeling about the auction house they are allegedly creating. It will probably cost you 5ep each time to use it.  :(

really, asking any EP is ridiculous.  costs 1 gold to send it in Dragon Nest. (must also be lvl 20) I think that would work fine here as well.

 

not gonna use it if i have to pay EP.


May the odds be ever in your favor

Note mail update not live yet. Next update.

 

Even so with change's suggested there still ripp off to even use.

 

Send item even EP/gold - Reply to msg ve charged tibit missed there.

 

Over all not going be using mail.

 

Mail cost single EP not worth time or effort of using it.

As well potional of C.O.D Function out window here charge send item's limited amount at that.

C.O.D - Cash on dilver sell item's bye mail some other function if unable meet or wait for person - even group summon them to you.

Over still not worth using function is dead in watter.

 

 

 

Why would i wanna pay that much to send an mail for some kind of trade? I can just group summon whoever im trading with for 10 silver. Give us something to do. Alot of players are quiting the game. Im sad to see many of my friends go. Give us guilds, its been 18 months already. Many people quit because they cant get dungeon runs, and to be honest I dont like taking players at level 45 who never run a dungeon before, they attack before tank, or put heals on themselves during pull,  so I end up getting frustrated and kicking them. I would love to see something like pvp tournaments that are official with prizes and stuff like that. Most things getting too repeative. ToC and Arena is so boring, even with the rewards as they are now I cant be bothered doing them. Treya was a good thing, but it should have been a fight in a dungeon, running it over and over gets too repeative. 

Posted in pen mighter then sword, Cover's how much of rip off it trully is.

Satan, I remember hearing you say that a long time ago and didn't agree but recently I'm starting to think you are correct. I'm starting to see things in a different way and it makes me sad. This game has such potential. :(

Okay i'll try to explain why charging.

 

The main reason is because of spammers and phishers. having even a small charge deters them.

 

But as i said, the system DN uses is much better since its only 1 gold for a message (limit of 10 per day).


May the odds be ever in your favor

They said it was a prerequisite for guilds. I can see it being useful for guild leaders to check up on their players, and have events scheduled without making people subscribe to a guild forum. However, I see no reason at all to send objects through mail. We don't even know if the majority of players will even log back on ever.

 

I have yet to use it, and I can't think of a situation where I would presently either.

I'm constantly trading and would like use the object part of it. I won't because of the EP fee and there is not enough spots to be efficient anyway.
