The Mail system is that which you use to send messages, money and/or items to other players throughout Elyssia. The system is fairly simple to memorize, and easy to use. To access the mail system you must click on either a Mail Box, or a Guild Page. Guild Pages can be summoned with a guild whistle. To access it via a Guild Page, you must first click on it, then on the option which says "Send to Town to get your mail." Once you have accessed your inbox, there will be four buttons to choose from; Previous, Open, Write and Next. There is a fifth button, the X button to close the inbox. When you first open your inbox, chances are that the "Previous," "Open" and "Next Buttons will be shaded out. This is normal, for at the beginning they will still not be usable. Once you get more than 6 letters, the Next button will become usable. If you use the "Next" button, the "Previous" button will become usable, and just like the "Previous" button, the "Next" button will be unusable once you reach the very first letter in your inbox, or the oldest. When you have mail, a letter icon (with a number, e.g. Mail:3) will appear in your hot-bar section. When you look into your inbox, the first part will be the sender's name, then the subject, if any, then the date it was sent. Also note that if you have mail waiting for you when you log in, then there wail be a postcard icon next to your current level, and a number icon for how many (e.g. *mail* 3 )

There are two ways to open letters. The first is to click on one and then the "Open" button, which will then become full color instead of Shaded out. Or you could double Click it. Whichever way works better for you is fine. Once inside a letter there will be a few things you can do. The Text, if any will be in the center of the letter, and the sender above that to the left, with the subject at the top. If there are items attached to it, you can double click them, and as many as you can take, if not all will be added into your inventory. or you could click on the money sent  to you, and that will be added into your overall amount. $-$

Should it be that you don't have enough space for your items, don't worry! as many as possible will be added in, and be shaded out.

You can reply to the sender, say thanks for all the gold making you rich and them poorer, or you can delete the letter with the "Delete" button. How mean! You can also just close the letter with the "close" button. they wont know unless you tell them. :)

Now, if you want to make a letter, you have to press the "write" button in your inbox. This button should always be active, unless for some reason you cannot send mail. When you press the "Write" button, a blank letter will appear. At the top you put the Name of who you want to send it to, and if you want the topic of the letter, say a valentines card of Merry Greetings! or you could just leave it blank so that the reader guesses what the topic is. Now, in the center you write the Text, and on the bottom left you can choose how much money to add, if you want to. The bottom Right is where items can be added into the letter, say potions or certain pieces or armor. Bound objects cannot be sent. However, be careful, for the more text and items in the letter, then more it will cost to send it. You don't want to try to send a letter only to find out that you can't pay for it. ;P One upside however is that the amount to pay is not influenced by how much money you want to send to the other player.

Revision as of 16:17, 13 October 2012

The Mail system is that which you use to send messages, money and/or items to other players throughout Elyssia. The system is fairly simple to memorize, and easy to use.

To access the mail system you must be near a Mail Box, and click it. Mailboxes can typically be found in Villages, but they may also be found in other locations (such as the entrance of the East Caves. Once you click the mailbox, it will automatically show an overview of your inbox, along with four buttons to choose from:

  • Previous
  • Open
  • Write
  • Next

There is a fifth button, the X button on the top right, to close your mailbox. Note that while you are reading or writing mail, you cannot move, fight, or shop. While, villages are generally safe from monsters, other locations may not be.

The "Previous", "Open" and "Next" buttons will be shaded out if they are not available (for example, the "Next" button only shows up once a second page of mail exists. Each page holds six letters). Your mail is sorted by date (the oldest messages go last), and there is no limit as to how much mail you can have.

When you have mail, a letter icon (with a number, e.g. Mail:3) will appear at the top of your screen. You will also see a message in your chatbox. In this case, find a mailbox to open it.

When you look into your inbox, the first part will be the sender's name, then the subject, if any, then the date it was sent.

There are two ways to open letters: Either click on a letter, and then on the "Open" button, or simply double click it. Once inside a letter there will be a few things you can do. The text, if any will be in the center of the letter, and the sender above that to the left, with the subject at the top. If there are items or gold attached to to the letter, they will show at the bottom and you can double-click to retrieve them them.

Should it be that you don't have enough space for your items, as many as possible will be taken. If you reopen a letter, all items and gold that you have already retrieved will be shown for your records, but faded out. Using the "Reply" and "Delete" buttons, you can reply to the sender, or delete the letter. The "close" button closes the letter, and keeps it in your inbox.

Now, if you want to write a letter, press the "Write" button in your inbox. Put the name of who you want to send it to, an optional subject line, and write your letter in the centre. At the bottom, you can attach gold (by typing in the amount) or items (such as potions or armour by dragging them in from your inventory). Note that it is not possible to send quest items, or items that are bound.

Postage

The post offices of Saliko and the Kingdom of Elyssia will charge a small postage fee for delivering your letter:

  • The minimum postage is 3 silver.
  • Each different item you attach makes the letter heavier, and costs an extra 10 silver.
  • If you write more than 100 characters, your character will need to start an extra page. This costs 2 silver.
  • Sending gold or silver does not incur any additional fees.

After you finish your letter, you can either send it via the send button. Discarding the letter closes it without sending.

Special Cases

There are two cases in which you will not be able to reply to letters:

  • A letter is sent to you by an Non-Player Character (NPC). These are denoted by a "#" before and after their name in the inbox.
  • If you received a notification from a moderator (such as, after using the "/feedback" system to write a ticket), you will see a special message alerting you to do that. You are able to click on the message and open the notification from anywhere, but you are unable to reply until you get to a mailbox. Replying to a "/feedback" ticket automatically re-opens the issue.

Guild Pages

If you are in a guild, and have bee given a guild whistle to summon your Guild's Page, they can be used to access your mail as well. Simply click on your guild page after summoning it, and then on the "Send to Town to get your mail" option.
