Reply mail at mailbox

I have so many good intentions of replying with little thank-you notes when people send me things in the mail, but I can't access the list of people I need to respond to (or memorize it) when I get to the mailing station. Please please please make it so you can receive AND SEND mail from mailboxes!

  • I'm going to have to ball this with the 'the Devs have their reasons.' If it seems like an obvious thing, they probably considered it, and decided to not do it for good reason.

  • I'm not sure, might be possible allready but could this be an option?
     Taking the mail you received out of the mailbox into your bags, like a note? Then you can carry it with you to the outgoing mailbox.

    (Would prefer a reply option though.)

  • This game is all about building relationships, and that happens via communication. With so many people all over the world playing, we need a quick and easy way to foster communication between players who aren't in-game simultaneously, and the mail is going to be it.

    Please, devs... if you're not going to do this, can you at least let us know why?

  • +1 Lilith...I too find it hard to remember from getting mail to having to go find a blue box to send mail who I wanted to send to and what I was responding to...would be so nice to have a reply feature!

  • While the outgoing FedEx machine is cute, as is the swaying mailbox for incoming, I too wish that I could "Reply" to people who send me a cute note hello. Granted, it usually only happens once, then people realize the mail system is bizarre, and give up on it.

  • +1. Every time I get mail I look for a reply button before remembering I need to go out to the main street to send it.

    I don't think the mail system is bizarre...how so?

    I like that's there's no reply function. Granted, it's not as convenient as it could be, but it simulates a real mail system, which I think is kinda cute. Instead of being all Internet-y.

    Internet-y. Poetic, no? ;3

  • Cupcake: I'm not so sure it simulates a real mail system. If I have stamps, I can send a reply letter from the exact same place I pick my mail up -- the mailbox outside my apartment.

  • + 1. I'd like to be a polite little glitch.

  • +1  If, for some reason, the devs don't want people to be able to reply directly at the mailbox, they could at least have the option to "compose" mail at the mailbox, which could be saved and then sent at the package drop-off

  • Oh, Kross, I like that idea! Maybe you need to have paper to be able to write a reply...
