a couple of ideas for the new mail and inhancement items.

1. first the mail system. Some people want to keep the non scifi feel of the game, while other want to the able to get there mail and items without going back to town,  So here is what I feel is a fare and ballance salution.  Put in a pony express system.  This is how it would work. First the in city system would work as in, but if somone want to mail a letter or items to someone outside the city they can goto a pony express station. there would be one in each city and one or more stations in each outside zones. None in any intstant zones or castles or caves ect....... Ok lets say player 1 want to send something to player 2.  P1 is in freeport and p2 is in thundering steps. First p1 goes to the poney express and "hires" an npc to delever it. P1 can choose to send the item to another poney express station in the zone for a fee of 1gp per zone he has to cross, or for double the fee dilever the item to the person directly. (a higher fee if the person is in a special zone) Now this would not be instant. It would take 10min real time per zone and and extra 10 min to hand dilever it. so the package form P1 would cost 4-8gp and 40-50 min to delever.  If P2 wanted to send something to P1 he would have to go to the nearest station. Same time and charges apply. 2. THe new enchanceing syatem. This one is simple players can take there non enhanced old armor to an npc in the cities and have that npc take apart them items and give back ONLY the harvisted items needed to make it. No fuel ect........ This way the adventures can get something meaningful from there old junk and crafters will for a short time have an influx of raw materals to help keep up with the new orders. Now these are just rough ideas. What do you think? <div></div>

<P>actually, for the mail system, i was thinking more of something like a homing pigieon(sp?). you would buy an item like you do for horses (make it cheaper, more expensive, whatever seems right) and use that to send messages under a certain amount of characters and items under a certain weight. it can only be used once every 5 or so minutes and there is a delay timer between when you send it and when it is recieved</P> <P> </P> <P>sound good?</P>
