Should Diablo 3 use a mail delivery system like WoW?
This way you can transfer items between your characters without having to use an "account stash/bank" which realistically does not make to much sense in the story line kind of way.
Yeah but some items shouldn't be able to be shared universally such as quest items and what not. Also a universal account stash would have to be HUGE. Like a guild bank from WoW.
^^^^ yeahhh that sounds about right (for the items)
stash size i wouldnt even know where to start.. cause we dont know how many characters per accnt etc.
also im not too familiar with the guild bank from wow but i can get a grasp of the what it could be.
but who knows? im just psyched the game is even officially announced =p
Maybe in a Diablo MMO. Currently the diablo series is fast paced demon slaying, who has time to write letters when there are demons to kill.
There is no glory in watching the grass grow not when there is so much evil to be fought.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
How the hell would a mail delivery system be useful in anything else than an MMO?
Fuck your WoW. Seriously. Great game, but not every fucking thing that stood out from it needs to be implemented into a Blizzard game from here on out. Jesus.

Maybe a small universal thing to send items to another player im not 100% on that idea though but xfering can easily be used to solve this.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

I believe what the OP is referring to is the ability to mail items (like in WoW) to other players/characters. There is a small charge for mailing, but it works in well.
However, in Diablo, I guess I'm on the fence on this one. It would be good, find a cool barbarian item with my Witchdoctor & mail it to him. Instead of muling it to him.
I guess we'll see what Blizzard has planned (if anything).
You're right, Diablo isn't an MMO, but it shouldn't be cast in a strict mold. The idea for a mail delivery system isn't bad, afterall this way you are able to help friends who are in different locations. By the sounds of what the guys at WWI were saying, you can explore towns rather than just acts. If they do this, the mail system could be very helpful. Anything that comes from WoW isn't automatically too different to be in Diablo. I'm sick of people being extremeists, lighten the fuck up.
No mail system imo.. Soon enough all these little influences from other mmos will add up and the next thing you know blizzard will think of making a diablo mmo........
I remember a time when none of my friends were on so you go into a game drop your item in a corner and go back with mule and collect usually was fine, one day i done it and the game didnt exist when i tried to go back for an expesive item!!! coulda cried! lol :mad:
anybody else done same???? lol
I'm game with this method. But i'd rather a work around the whole 8 char per game idea...I hate having to stop playing to find a new group.
We need a mail delivery system in D3, I'm tired of using mules.
Besides the mule system is annoying as hell.
It's okay when you got a friend online who can keep your game open for a while,
but when you're alone you need to create like 1 game every 15 mins to make one transfer or either the game will be deleted after less than 5 mins or Bnet will kick you out for changing chars too fast.
Btw this last trick only work on close Bnet, on open Bnet your game is deleted as soon as you leave.
And I didn't say anything about connections screwing up yet. Nothing more pissing than losing items because you got disconected during one of your transfer.:mad:
So yeah forget about WoW, we need a mail delivery system.
I'd prefer an account stash. It'd be really nice to look at my stuff from all my characters and to be able to compare items more easily. And it'd be a pain mailing gems from one character to another just to combine them, or whatever.

Either that or an account stash that every char on the account could use but thats strange.
just a shared account stash =p
stash size i wouldnt even know where to start.. cause we dont know how many characters per accnt etc.
also im not too familiar with the guild bank from wow but i can get a grasp of the what it could be.

A separate, smaller, shared stash - aside from the normal big one - sounds like a great idea!
Kindof like a .. "Transfer stash"
