Well, I am not sure if this has been mentioned before and iif it has I apologize for wasting the time of the person who is reading this. I would like to see that the next account of any player gets to keep the mail of the previous account. Now we loose all the mail that we have gotten over the days in the blink of an eye when we die. I would really appreciate it if the mine next account could have access to my mail too.

I feel that this will add a lot to the actual RP perspective as I am sure every son will have access to his fathers mail after fathers death and also it helps in the recollection of some inportant stuff.Is this good or bad??? You decide

ZEUS

I totally agree I'm so mad I lost all my mail, so I AGREE

excellent suggestion, Hope this will be implemented soon.

I don't consider my last account to be related to this account in any way whatsoever, therefore I do not believe this is realistic. If you have any important information in your mails you should write it down elsewhere in a secure place, or you are just asking for trouble.


If you want to store ALL your mails then save them on your computer, or if you dont want to use your own computer create back alley threads with the mails in as these are linked to your master account.

This suggestion seems pretty pointless to me, and does not add anything to the game other than an even MORE clogged up mailbox.

Afro.

I would like it, but maybe just the mails that you have archived or unread?

I think that I must agree with Afro. If the mails are that important then either BA them or store them elsewhere. I find that this works for me and doesn't take much time to retreive them either

death shouldn't be pleasant and this is just something that comes with it.

but the question is, can you save an unread message? Sometimes we die when we are not online so how can you save the future messages?

what can be consider here is just save the unread message to the next character?

Again though Chuck, how does that make any RP sense if my new character is in no way related to my old one?

If you don't read your messages before you die then it's just tough luck. Also, no message is that important that this feature need be put in - not in my opinion at least.

For those accounts who are indeed the sons of their last, there could quite easily be a "save mail" options in the manage - options page. That way those who don't think it'd make RP sense can just turn it off, whereas those who are going to RP out a "sons" account, can have their mail.

Seriously, James, this is just a way for lazy people to not have to save their messages. And do you really expect people to not use the option if it's there? Hell, I'd use it if it was. Does that mean it should be put in? No.

In the mafia I'm pretty sure mafia business was kept to the mafia, not shared with your son/wife/daughter/whatever. Once you became a made man your crew was your family. The idea that a man in the mafia would leave all his mafia business related mail in the hands of a civilian (even if it was his own son) is just stupid.

I quite agree, it is simply something for lazy people. I didn't say I agreed or liked the idea, or even said it was remotely realistic, I was just offering some opinions on how to make it work with the aforementioned complaints against it.

But sons and daughters pick up the Left and Right Hand positions of their parents all the time. It would stand to reason that they'd have access to records in order to gain that kind of immediate trust.



That being said, I'm concerned that the system would get clogged up again. (If any Powers That Be are reading this, please feel free to send a street cleaner through the jail...)

Very true Joy - as much as it'd be brilliant to have a completely realistic game, it is still a game and that person sitting behind the computer with their brand new account is still the same as the one who just died. Therefore it is inevitable that that person will get their position back. That'll probably never change.

This however is not necessary, will most likely clog things up as you said and doesn't have any realism to it whatsoever.
