#### Offline messaging

I just went to send a message to someone else signed up for Glitch and realized that there's no way to do so outside of the game itself. This is probably a rather large task, but it would be nice if you could "private message" other people's accounts, separately from the Glitch they play as.

- TS is a game and is not likely to spend staff time creating a separate email system for its site beyond what is used in-game.
  Just trade RL email addresses if the game mail system is inadequate.

- I respectfully disagree - trading email addresses is not equivalent. What if I want to contact someone who(m?) I have never contacted before, to ask a question? (Which was exactly my situation today.)
  And indeed the staff have already spent time on non-game elements meant to facilitate player-to-player discussion such as these very forums.
  I would say that the ability to message another player directly is a pretty standard expectation within online communities - be they game based or forum based.

- I like the idea. Hope to see it sometime in the future. You can mail them something now even when they are offline and just write a note that way.
  I send little note/gifts whether people are on or not so I know it can be done.
