Personal messaging

When this game is finished will there be a personal messaging system?

  • from your glitch home page you can leave a message for your friends. when you type a message there, it shows up on all your friends' homepages. that's the best we got for now, but yes there does need to be a message system in here.

  • yeah i mean what if there's something you only wanted to say to one person, gotta have some sort of privacy

  • private chat in game for now :)

  • Still no private messaging outside of the game?

  • We have a private message system over at our fansite, GlitchAddict.com for all our members, you'd be more than welcome there =)

  • This is frustrating. I need to send a personal message to someone, outside the game, who is not on line, and I can't find any way to do it, other than to try to get on his friend list and post a message that will be seen by all our other friends.

  • Ferond, yes, it is annoying.
    I imagine there are two reasons right at this moment"

    1) It not being a priority this close to launch as it is not involved with gameplay,
    2) When they game is 24/7, they would love us to use the in game mail system more.

    I can point out flaws with both of my statements.

  • I've suggested this one in the ideas forum also. It's been a couple months so I doubt I could dig up the thread even at this point! Would love to see this because as you say...privacy and all that.

  • But wait!

    Why spend developer time on something that will be obsolete as soon as it goes out of testing?

    When the game is open 24/7, you can send private messages all you want.  There's a mail system in place for asynchronous messages.

  • Yeah the Froggie works pretty well for asynchronous mail and I THINK it auto emails you when that happens, too.  No?  Or if not it should.

  • Good point, Windborn.

  • The in-game PM and mail system don't solve my problem at all. As soon as I go in, my energy and mood start dropping, and I have to spend time keeping them up, just to to be able to send someone a PM. It's even worse if we're never on line at the same time, and I have to go looking for a mailbox.

  • Ferond, unlike other parallel dimensions that may suspend you from contact with the living, you can still IM people in Hell. Though I can understand how it might be less-than-welcoming as a telephone booth.

  • Good idea, Blanky! Thanks!
    Posted 15 months ago by Ferond Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Nope. Still doesn't solve my problem, unless there are mailboxes in hell. I need to communicate with people who are not on line at the same time as I am.

  • Ferond, please squish your way out of hell; I'll meet you wherever you pop out and I'll help :)

  • All I need is a mailbox. If I IM you when I find out where I am, can you tell me where to find the nearest mailbox to send a message?
    Posted 15 months ago by Ferond Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Of course.
    Posted 15 months ago by Millie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Is there any notification on our home page if we have mail waiting for us in the game? I don't see it.
    Posted 15 months ago by Ferond Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ferond, there isn't currently. 
    Posted 15 months ago by Blanky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It looks like there will always be people to help me when I need to send and receive mail, but now I've encountered another problem. The mailboxes and dispatchers are separate, so when I reply to someone I can't read the message I'm replying to!

    You really don't want any PMing here, do you?

    Oh. Except for people who are on at the same time.

  • Just the other day I said the game needs PMs. Mail system doesn't work outside of the game. Maybe it should?
