mailbox
It would be nice if you could send more than 1 item at a time in the mail. It was annoying creating a new mail for every item you want to send to an alt.
Was there a shared bank in VG?? I can't remember.
Maybe just create a shared bank?

Re: mailbox
Making your bank available to all toons on your account would probably be much easier than coming up with new UI elements for a multi-item mailing system. That's a good idea.
One thing we're considering also was the "continental" mail bank slot notion; not sure if the community actually likes 3 separate boxes around the world, or just prefer 1 big box.

Re: mailbox
I would like 1 big bank that was accessible from all continents.
I guess it depends if you want everyone to bank in Khal, or possibly spread out more since they would have more options with a full bank. Either way would be fine with me.

The shared bank was disallowed by the devs to stop people twinking their characters and powering through lower level content but in my opinion, we could share chests in our houses and most of the OP gear was level restricted, so as long as we keep the level restrictions on items opening up the banks to be shared between all characters on your account or possible flagged characters like how chests in houses/guild halls worked, would be a nice change for the emulator.
VG already had multi mailing but it was just not unlocked for us to use, every now and then a mail item would end up in your mailbox and upon opening it, you would find the item you were waiting for in 1 slot and a blank slot next to it, so there was a system in place which was just not open for public use. I must admit multi mailing would be nice, especially for crafters/harvesters who need to send a shit ton of mats to guild members/friends/other players for house/boat/guild hall building, sending everything in stacks of 1 was painful lol
We had 3 and it was a bit of a pain to be honest, from a lore perspective it was ok but realistically it just made people bounce all around the world trying to remember which bank they put their crafting mats or banked armour etc.

Re: mailbox
We used to do;
Kojani Crafts
Thestra Thinks
Qualia Crushes
And bank according to that, all crafting mats etc in Kojan, all diplo and collections in Thestra and all PvE gear and such in Qualia
kept us mostly organized, then again I think the majority of my guildies were OCD
I like the idea of how it is currently, separate banks for separate continents, and one mailbox to cover the world. Travel is already super accessible so I don't see the point of streamlining that feature further just for the convenience of saving another 2 minutes, as it stands you can rift to a major area bank and be out in a flash also most banking hubs Had the other 2 continents chests available. I do like the extra slot feature for mail, and if it was in code but just not public maybe you devs can dig it out and see if it works

That's cool. I did something very similar with my banks:
Kojan - harvested materials and class-specific crafting items
Thestra - Diplo gear & rewards/potions
Qalia - Everything else (my VG 'junk drawer')
House - crafting catalysts/enhancements/dusts/powders/shards/crystals/reinforcements and whatever else wasn't specific to a crafting class or soulbound. This was my shared bank for my crafters.

Re: mailbox
I actually had my crafting catalysts in my houses ordered by level, color/type and alphabetically, with half of one chest for character gear swapping. Never got a clear system for the continental banking thing. Have to remember the one suggested above for next time. If I were going to vote on something that had to deal with banking and housing it would be removing the hour cool down to recall to house.
