Agreed players should get to vote on this. Or would it be possible to have in options to set the messaging system u want? Random question

It's a new system, they can't make it be controlled by options I don't think..

I'd only want it for PMs, guild messages would be a mess.

Also, separation of guild chat from PMs anyone?

I don't understand the playerbase sometimes.

All I get from this thread is change is bad, we hate change, make it stop.

If all games never updated systems or added on content...new and better things would never get created. Instead of being instantly cynical and critical about new things, why not offer some criticism?

Instead of: This sucks, i hate it, i'm going to hide my head in the sand.
Say: I dislike this, it can be made better by *Reason*.

iClassic had the most ass-backwards, clunky PM interface ever. And you wanna go back to that?

Let's have a look at the first page. You've given us three categories, "This is bad." "This is bad because..." "This is good (because)". Let's add a neutral category to the mix. All but one post on the first page fit into neutral, positive, or negative with explanation. Looking at the rest of the thread, it's much the same. Just because you expect to see and hear "This sucks, i hate it, i'm going to hide my head in the sand." doesn't mean anybody is saying it. The only "I hate this update" posts are coming from the same minority of people posting the same thing over and over.

Yes, unless this one is improved. Really the only things I don't like are the "Loading..." message and thread PMs. Now if they end up creating a way to disable thread PMs then the people who don't like them wouldn't have to deal with them. Getting rid of the loading message along with this would make me a happy girl scout.

I like the new message system personally. History is nice, you can see how many pending messages you have, who is sending the next message, and they stay when you go offline. You guys just arent used to it yet. It'll grow on you.

I don't understand why people dont like the chat room based pm system. Thats fantastic, its so much easier to follow a conversation when someones talking to you since you can just scroll down and remember something they sent to you earlier instead of having to open up a drop down menu. Also, for the first time you can now see your own sent history. Thats the best part.

People will get used to it. Let the bugs get fixed, accept change,

If alignment was added people would still complain, they will get used to it.

It's one of the many things I hate about human nature, they are upset by things that are different.

My opinion on the new system:
I like the displaying of heads and how many PMs I have on the little notification icon. It lets me see whether it's someone I actually want to answer to or just another noob asking for my hat. I can't say I don't like the thread PMs, since I haven't seen them yet and used them. Honestly, my only complaint is the "Loading..." thing, since it's just not aesthetically pleasing or smooth to have that there. Also, I hate loading screens. It took 11 seconds to load a message saying only "Lol", so I think that's also a problem.
I think this could be improved by removing the loading text. That is the only problem I've encountered with it so far.

I like era's pm system better ~

Tbh, I'm fine with this update.

i like Rufus' ideas on pg1. To throw this in the mix, similar to how the option "hide guild chat" disables SENDING guild messages, there needs to be an option that disables RECEIVING guild messages. i hate spam k? especially when its all sexual or emo related.

ok so what exists currently:
-heads on inbox icon: eh....... sorta like it, sorta dont...
-number of messages in inbox: like
-font color for name of sender (green name=guild chat, red name=broadcast ect): eh whatever its ok.
-50 messages in history: like
-"player is offline and will get pm when he/she logs on" is now in message in inbox from "server": hate it. i preferred the blue popup boxes that told you stuff like that.
-another dislike: the coordination for message types was mixed up a bit. i mean your inbox icon was different colors for pms, guild messages, invites, broadcasts, events. now the icon for invites is the same color as events?:(

I like it wtf is wrong with you noobs?
