Mailbox and pigeons

Postby shubla » Tue Apr 02, 2019 10:15 pm

Basically:
Mailboxes could be bound to hearthlings. So that you could own a mailbox or mailboxes.
Then there would be birds, pigeons or such, that you could use to send messages to mailboxes of people on your kinlist (if they have a mailbox)
Pigeon would fly, kind of like a nidbane, to their mailbox, drop the message off, and then fly back.

Pigeons would of course take some file to fly into their destination, and slight chance of them being lost or killed (by an eagle or something) in the way.
Amount of pigeons could be also limited, to prevent people from sending like 1000 pigeons (like in the harry potter movie/book)

Why would I send message by bird if I can use PM system.

They could carry an item for delivery, also could be a reward u get from like a bird watcher credo that requires u to discover all birds.

Not always the person that you want to send message is online.

I think that is the only way that this could work, By carrying items at a distance it would also benefit trading throughout de world :mrgreen:

Pigeons would need to be slower while carrying packages, be capable of getting shot out of the air, and occasionally stop to rest and eat along the way to ensure this wasn't a completely secure method of moving goods.

No form of trading should be risk free

Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

I guess they could carry items, but only small items, and it would take some time to deliver them, and there would be risk of them getting in trouble during the journey.
So it wouldnt replace trading by other means at all.

The theme is good, especially for a Harry Potter fan, there is a place where fantasies can take hold) And to offer, for these purposes, use owls, if only because they already exist in this game) But yes indeed, pigeons will not yell at you, asking for live rat, as a reward for messages, and they will eat wheat and calm down :DD

:3 The truth is in this way of sending messages and small packets, there is a small "but": you will climb to the ceiling on the amount of spam, because people, as a rule, cannot calmly and healthily use instant messengers

And, in the best traditions of yourself...
