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.
