send and/or trade item/message system
#38737 - 11/11/07 08:28 PM

i've seen ppl drop items on the ground to trade and it works if ur smart enough to get away from the mainstream townston. but some ppl (like my lil' bro...xwave....-__-*) so my suggestion is if there could be a mailing system like a post office. you could go to the building to send items (provided that they're not soulbound) and messages without getting jacked by a lvl 10 and under punk who just goes and sells it anyway........so yeah.......ik this is probably been mentioned a thousand times+ before (if not then ppl dont care about getting jacked). just more emphasis on the subject.

A secure trade system is coming. You'll be able to trade items-for-items, never for gold or KCs, however.

When it's ready to hit the test server, the devs will announce it. Generally speaking, it should be at the end of the month.

This system would be great for 2 reasons:
1. safe trading
2. safe mule-ing

Personally I would like an easy system to transfer items from one character to another that belong to the same account. F.e if I have on the same account 2 characters that I’m playing: 1 fighter and one ranger and I’m playing with my ranger and get a super rainbow item but for my fighter…then would be nice to have a safe spot available for all my characters (a mini 8 slots bank, or more ) where my ranger could put the item and then log-out and then my fighter could come and take that item. For now the only way to do this is to find a good, trustful friend to help you or to have 2 PC one next to the other, 1 accounts so when you drop an item you could immediately take it with the other character.
U didn’t see such an option to any game and I always wanted…why not with DR? it already has many good things

Now you people talk about trade system coming, this isnt everything that was suggested.
A post office would be so SICK cool, and next to that sort of unique.
You just give it to a NPC and type the name of your friend. The next day you are not online but your friend is, he gets a message in the chat:"Your item from X has arrived". You go to the NPC and get your rainbow, now I call that a sweet trade system. The npc just simply keeps it for you. This is also a solution to time zones, your friend lives in australia while you live in.... europe.

Wouldnt that be sweet for the far future? (Chunk 8 )

would be, but maybe they will need a lot of space to keep all those items. of course that will be a lot of crap items that will be send, if this system will exists. maybe this system with a rule: only for rainbows and uniques, or something

Yes or for a payment of gold, another thing to spend gold on huray!
The storage isnt a huge problem I think.

A small guess for me, 60.000+ players total play now.
All that 60.000 players can get 3 chars, lets say on average everyone got 2. thats 120.000 characters, all with different items with all different mods, different storyline going on, different bank space, different model of the char, ect.

To store an item so that a mate can get it from the Postmaster NPC the next day, means there needs to be saved the item's name, and mods, and the skin attached to it. This wouldnt be such a big task compared to what is done, yet I dont say it will be easy.

Woohoo! Trade system for everyone, Postmaster system where you give away an item for a friend thats offline, and gets it the other day for member only I would really like that as a member-only feature

Why? If you want these benefits then become a member. If you don't want to become a member then don't complain because at least you are getting the opportunity to play this game. Try getting that from some of the other larger MMO's. You won't even get to hear the sound of their laughter because you won't even get to have a voice to the devs.

Be happy with what you are given or walk away with nothing.

As I said, nonmembers AND members should get a trade system. But only members should have an extra trade feature to give it to an NPC, and the next day your friend is online and he can pick it up.

Next to that, lol, descrimination? It isnt descrimination. Is rainbow for member only descrimination? Is 3 bank pages while nonmembers one descrimination? I think not, due to that nonmembers dont benefit NCSoft for now, so be happy to what you get.

ick... that sucks. I doubt that NCSoft would be able to help much without at least knowing what the user name is. Is your current toon such a level that you wouldn't want to leave it behind and create a new account?
