I even tried a mod that would keep track of when things would expire. It was kind of buggy though. And I play too inconsistently to trust I wouldn't lose something. <BR/><BR/>Mailbox backlog - that's a monkey on my back too.Delaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352783722485966950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21648339.post-1163426564758295922006-11-13T09:02:00.000-05:002006-11-13T09:02:00.000-05:00Good post!Wow.And I thought that all you needed to...Good post!<BR/><BR/>Wow.<BR/><BR/>And I thought that all you needed to name a character was the appendix of the Silmarillion.<BR/><BR/>Boy was I wrong... :P<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, when using the mail system in WoW I am in the habit of typing in more than just the first letter of a name because of the email system at work, which typically requires at least three letters to find the person you want. So if I'm sending something to Doeg, I'll type at least "Doe" before I look up to verify that I have "Doeg". <BR/><BR/>And on the topic of mail, I've mostly given up on using mail as an extension of the bank. The problem is managing the bouncing of items between characters; it takes time, and requires that I check mail on every character just about every day (even more time). So I've started to try to clean out the mailboxes, and assign certain types of trade goods or raw materials to specific characters. I'm still carrying a mailbox backlog, but not so big and hard to manage since I changed my mindset.<BR/><BR/>I'm seriously considering taking an undead mage I started, but never really played (still in Brill at level 1), into UC to act as a bank extension -- he can hold quite a bit of "stuff" with a backpack and 4 modest bags, and add the bank (plus only 10s to add an additional bank bag), and he should be more than sufficient.<BR/><BR/>And the bank, mailbox, and AH are close together in the major cities like UC, so he can act as a middleman to list items found in far-flung areas on the AH without needing to spend time with a main or heavily-played alt flying back for mundane AH stuff.Doeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495756873615676650noreply@blogger.com
