EQ2 Mail System

[Dolby]

The new mail system is currently on the test server. I must say the SOE Everquest II team did a good job fitting the mail system into the shattered world of Norrath. Many role players voiced their concerns when the rumors were out about an email system coming to EQ2 and that this would take away from the game immersion. I think the way the mail system is implemented will add to the games immersion greatly. With the short amount of time on the test server with my level 4 test character I was fairly impressed with it.

- Exchange messages with your friends via the new in-game mail system.

- You can send and receive mail at mailboxes located in East Freeport and Qeynos Harbor, as well as all districts and villages.

- If you have unread mail waiting for you, you will see a mail icon in your Spell Effects window. This icon will always appear in the first slot, and mousing over it will inform you that "You have unread mail."

- Members of guilds that are level 15 and higher can purchase their own mailbox through status merchants.

- Clicking on a mailbox will open the Mail window, which has two tabs: Inbox and Send.

- Mail will be deleted 3 days after opening it, while unread mail will be deleted after 30 days. The time remaining until deletion is shown to the right of each letter.

- Letters can contain money or an item, shown below the text of the letter. You can accept these parcels by clicking the Receive Gifts button.

- To reply to the sender, click on the Reply button.

- You can send along one item or any amount of coin with your letter. To send money, click the Give Coin button and enter the amount you wish to send. You can change your mind by clicking Give Coin again and clearing the amount. To include an item, drag the item you wish to send from your character's inventory onto the slot in the gifts area. You can change your mind by right-clicking on the item and choosing to remove it, or by dragging and dropping it onto an open section of the screen.

- You can only send gifts to another character that is a citizen of the same city you are, though you can send text-only messages to anyone.

- You can have a maximum of ten messages in your Inbox that include gifts from other players. There is no limit to how many text-only messages you can have at one time.

- Plain text letters cost 10c to send. Letters with gifts attached cost 50c. There is no charge to read mail that has been sent to you.

- You can send messages to your friends on other servers, or to those who play EverQuest and Star Wars Galaxies!
