    Mail with Multiple Attachments

    I would really appreciate the ability to send more than one attachment per in-game mail. This would not only save time and make it easier on the sender but would also help avoid maxing out the recipients mail box. The cost per mail could be increased per attachment if necessary.

    Re: Mail with Multiple Attachments

    It has been suggested a number of times. And if it was possible I would certainly agree with your suggestion.

    But, if remember correctly from the other threads, the mail-system is a third party tool and because of that it is not possible to implement this.

    Its a mailing system and not a storage system.

    Interesting. I've played a few other MMORPG's that had this option and it was extremely handy.

    I didn't mean it to be a storage system. What I'm talking about is, for example, when I craft items for kinsmen and send the item and also have an additional crit item for them. That's two mails when it could be one. Or when I have loot in my mains bags that needs to be sent to an alt that can use them (scholar items for example). Instead of sending 5 emails I could send 1.

    In regards to sending stuff to your alts, use your house storage or purchase the shared storage. Saves you money this way.

    I would also like to send more than one item in one mail. It is not to save money, but to save time. I know I can use shared storage, but then I need to go to the vault.

    Other MMORPGs likely didn't use the same system.

    While I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't mean for it to be a storage system, the increase in capacity would be a means of effectively getting a ton of storage. People would certainly use it to act as a storage buffer, though. From the many discussions about it, it seems that the vault/housing/shared storage methods are the workaround for this game.

    Such utility would certainly be convenient, although it's been suggested for more than half of the game's life so I'm not holding my breath....

    An alternate solution is to edit the mail UI to have multiple item slots, but when the user hits the send button the game puts each item in to its own piece of mail.

    In addition to the points made above, the mail system as it currently stands is a gold sink. MMOs generally NEED gold sinks.

    I'm going to hijack your thread for a minute.

    You know what change I'd LOVE to see? A way to select several mails and then just hit 'delete', it is very annoying that, when my mailbox fills -and this happens often- I have to delete each mail individually.

    Please, gives us an option to select and then delete all selected items.
