If we get a pm in this forum it can be set to a mobile device alert...how about making it so we have the same option for the ingame pm on main and ascended?

Interesting idea, the only problem is there would be quite a few countries (service providers) that wouldn't do the sms gateways etc, so it might only be useful for a handful of people, let alone out of those able to, how many would actually do it. If admin wants to, i would be interested in doing it anyway.

How about we all stick to the same old format? You log in on you computer (or in recent years your mobile device) and read your messages just like anyone else. I find it astonishing that some people would be so up their own ass that they want PM's direct to their mobile device.
Tell you what, approach Apple and Google (with Sol's expert coding ability) and request that they create you 'an app for that'.
Pfft.

well most of us have mutliple emails, I have 2 emails I use for just games..I only play GW and 1 other on xbox so it wouldnt be a bother really. I was just thinking more along the lines of acting on brokers or catching those emergency pm's.
edit: I only suggested this because I am on mobile allot these days and can only be on pc for a very short time during the week.

If it was to be sent to your signed up e-mail address, that would be better. As others have said, the cost of SMSing is probably no where near worth doing with the income the game generates for Jason
