Hey Tseng, I got an idea for you, how about stop taking peoples ideas, and bascially throwing them back in their faces. It is getting really annoying. I think this is a cool idea, i'd rather my pms be cleared, rather then reconnect. What if I am doing something importiant and can't reconnect, but I can't take 10 minutes to close the pms? Huh? Exactly.

Some players will mass message in jail or something and forget massmessages/pms are ignored unless sent to an RC. It's nice if they are all cleared without having to reconnect, or open 150 pms, than close them again. (I think that the PM response notification telling you that you cannot send pms to players should be removed, and just do this instead:

Re-do the playerlist and set it up like so:

Staff - Staff with tags on appear here. (On client)
------
Admins - Staff RC accounts online appear here (Offline Admins are grayed) Also, any Global Admins (on or off RC) are shown here.
------
Guild - Guild Members appear here.
------
Buddies - Buddy accounts added here. (Offline players are grayed)
------
Players - Any online players are displayed here.
------

*Ignored players are not shown, but can be edited in another window.


Now, when your in jail, any accounts listed in the player/guild/buddies section are grayed so you cannot pm them.
There should also be a Mass Message buttion so that it sends a MassMessage to all players/staff online (not-grayed).

If you can understand all this you will get my point that this idea is a good one, but it can be solved with a new message/playerlist system.
