im new to this game,but i think theres no global chat.that would be pretty useful and beneficial to the game.

There used to be a real one, but loftar removed it because it didn't fit the atmosphere.

Maybe I should mention that, as an artifact of old code scheduled to be removed, you can press Ctrl-C to bring up a global chat window. It kind of sucks, though, because only those others who also have the same chat window open will receive messages, there is no history (in the regard that you won't see messages sent before you opened the chat window), and it lives in its own window rather than among the other chat windows beside the menu.

Despite numerous requests for a global chat, I completely agree with that statement. Even if players have to communicate with each other outside the game, it still leads to social clustering among those who chat with each other. An "official" global chat could well destroy that aspect of the game which I quite like.

Well how about at least a mailbox object that allows players to put parchment(mails) in because it's annoying to make a gravestone to leave someone a message when their not online

You can make a parchment and write on it with ink
