Here is the other half of my original posting, with a new poll.
The instant msging system is good within PE but it would be heaps better if you could send a broadcast to all your society members whether they were offline or online at the time. If they were off then the msg would pop up as soon as they logged on again. This would make planning society events much easier. Also can we get email addresses added to society members info if they want to add it??
I voted no, because of all the noobs PMing me all the time begging for stuff or me to buy their sweat or whatever.
But if it was only for socmembers Id agree, and in that case just ignore my “no” 
well, the 7.1 update should ease ur burden seeing as you have to agree to be added to their friends list.
As i suggested long ago id say let’s get cell phones.
Just as in real world, a call would cost some pecs, if the user you called wasnt online it would be send as SMS.
Less lag on the chat server or how it is now, as if it cost pecs to call ppl wouldnt chat as much long distance.
Whine whine you might say, but remember, the long distance chat system first came in VU 4.4, before that there was no long distance chat.
The cell phone could be lootable, or maybe bought in Trade Terminal, for those who couldnt afford one there could be phonebooth’s in the cities and outposts.
An additional way could be MindForce, telepathy chip, a few mind essence to “call” a friend, a way of skilling too
(still with cell phones available ofcourse)

Then its the non-noobs that just really annoying :mad: that keeps PMing me about eeeverything. Gaahhahhahh…
Im quite fond of the new system yay
But since it has happened socmates have been bothered by noobs to drag me to town so they can bother me :rolleyes:
I would defiantely like to be able to get messages offline. I think your idea MB would be cool, just as long as the cell phones were not too rare
There might well be current message system but then in addition offline message system used through terminals.
Thus you would get offline messaging and some message management and archiving but it wouldnt be totally real time. It would also make it able to send messages with full avatar names instead of just to those who are in your friendslist.
I have always hoped for off-line messaging.
It would greatly assist in soc, trades, arranging team hunts, etc…

Good idea but would ever be able to find a non-vandalised one?
Those damn Atrox seem to like causing trouble just for troubles sake :laugh:
On-Topic:
I voted yes, an off line message system for society members is much needed.
Rusty
voted yes, the idea seems nice.
Being able to send msg’s to offline friends would be cool and good
But not having to pay to send msg’s (as mindbuster suggested).
Sure, less ppl would send msg’s, and would probably get rid of alot spamming (why send alot of msg’s to a person if it costs money),
but what about those times you have long talks with a person over pm’s,
and what when you are new and the only way you can contact your mentor and ask questions is over pm’s becouse he/she is out doing something?
A beginner would probably not be able to buy a “cell phone” in the start
Why not some sort of ingame e-mail instead? With a inbox and, if possible/wanted, a outbox.
You could also have a spam inbox, and msg from that and that person goes in there ect, like a ordinary
e-mail. Would be better imo.

nice idea love it in fact i would love somthing like that added to the game maybe the bars could have computers where you can get your eMails.
we need the on/off line messaging! NOW! INMEDIATELY! I NEED IT! NOW! GET IT
:banghead:
sorry for the crazy thingie, but we do really need it.
Offline messaging, i’m all in for it :thumbup:
But since imo sending messages is a basic feature in any mmporg i don’t think we should have to pay for them. And public phonebooths would be nice but imo not practical, i don’t want to have to run to one if i am in the middle of nowhere or when on a hunt for example. I want to be able to send a message whenever i need to and don’t want to have to worry on the decay of my phone 
just my few cents

i think the same PAYING TO SEND A PM god we pay for almost everything as it is why add the little free stuff to the list
Are we talking about PE here, or EF ??
IF PE…then def.
EF…i dunno..maybe

as I recall then EF already have this system, but it is infact PE that’s discussed here.
I also voted yes, an off-line msg’ing system qould be a quite nice thing to have and if I remember correctly most if not all other mmorpg has them in one way or the other.
I really like the email way, that would be quite nice and make bars a more frequent visited place also, that leads to perhaps more social interaction.
you could also choose to expand this system into a calypsian internet as we know it, where one could pay a monthly fee or so to have their adds displayed or whatever, but still without an internet the off-line msg’ing system is a must, with or without emails…
I dunno if its mentioned but it would be nice to put an “away message” up…
i would come online from being away for a night and have 100+ PMs..
gets outta control then also sometimes people think you are ignoring them and this isnt the case…
but that would be my improvment on the system… :eek:
i got a very nifty idea getting in my head…
what about standard phones in appartments, wich could of course be upgraded in color and such, but from there u could call neighboors/friends and such. also with an enhanced system to allow pm’s to be stored there if u are for example on a hunt (voicemail)… i think it would be nice. and u are paying becouse of the appartment fee… ofcourse it must also get in houses, but only if wanted, and for 50 pecs a month orso
