Could do that anyway. Higher staff are added to an array in the message database NPC and they're sent the PM via an echo.

Before it would automatically send a message back to the player saying the player is offline. Now it seems to work like normal pms.

Controversial update.... higbey saying 'you'll get used to it'.... Sorry I'm still not used to this new personality of his. Let me get a glass of water.

Well there's always gonna be bugs in progress, if we kept the old everything nothing could improve, it will be fixed, I do like the fact the horrible swear filter is gone for pms now.

For now, I figured out a way to read Guild Messages. Check your history. They load in that.

So the only thing that's changed is that you don't get a message back.

You can converse with them now like a normal player and it can go back and forth now, for example before whenever I messaged a staff only on rc I got that message back and no reply from the staffmember, now it seems they actually get the message and reply.

Suggestions:

• There needs to be options for automatically closing the pm once you've replied and whether or not you want to store/load chat history outside of the history button. With these, the new message system will seem no different from the old.
  
  
• Should take this opportunity to change the "This player has blocked you", "This player does not wish to receive offline PMs" and "PMs from friends only" messages to appear when you press the message button. Currently they only appear once you've sent a message and this can be frustrating when you've just typed a long message out.
  
  
• There also needs to be spam prevention which automatically locks you from sending messages when you're doing it far too fast and frequent, kinda like AIM used to do.
  
  
• Disable HTML for non-staff, it looks cheap.

and guild chat :blush:

Bombs, Farming, and now Messaging! Stop changing things that don't need to be changed and maybe listen to some of the feedback people send.

fixing something that doesn't need to be fixed...ALWAYS CAUSES PROBLEMS. Go back to releasing remi and marions quests that are finished! rather than doing something noone cares about as its perfect how it was.

The newer messaging system doesn't really seem suitable for pm's because it is only a conversation between two people. This would seem like it could be implemented in guild chats were it would feel more like a message board or a chat room type thing.

I edited it with player names and and the players head next to the message, I don't know about the font colour though it could be confusing if it were different colours.

Scrap guild messages and add a window like this.

If you're going to keep this system at least get rid of the "Loading..." message that pops up. It's annoying responding to guild chat spam with it.

What was wrong with old messages? Let me answer that: Nothing. Just get rid of it I haven't seen 1 person in the whole game say it's even ok... Everyone says it sucks and the loading crap? F that just give us back the old instant message system. Whoever was behind this update please accept the fact that it's annoying/not helpful and needs to be changed back.
