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 acces 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 hotbar 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.
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. Those that remain will be their regular color and ready for when you return for them. However, if you do manage to take every item, they will completely disappear, as well as the amount of gold in the letter. to see what you got again simply close and open the letter. all of the previous items and gold will appear again, but shaded out. once you take the items there are three options. 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.
After you finish your letter, you can either send it via the send button, or discard it if you think that it's not good.
there will be some cases in which you will not be able to reply to the letters. One is if it is sent to you by an NPC, aka a "Non-Player Character." These are usually noted by the fact that there is a # before and after their name in the inbox. For a letter from a moderator, if you sent one via the "/feedback" system, then you will be notified of the reply and be able to access it from wherever you are. but you will not be able to reply to it. If you want to reply to a moderator letter, then you must access your inbox through regular means and select it from your inbox. Please, if you are to reply to a moderator letter, that you make sure that the information is relevant to the current topic, as a bug or if you believe that what you have to say is important. If you're not sure, then still say so, but don't repeatedly send replies in which you may get in trouble for either spamming or being careless. But as the motto goes, if you think it's important, take it!
