Updated ingame message system

I would be great if ingame pm system could be improved.
at the moment it is quite difficult to navigate you way around the message system and there is no way of seeing previous messages sent to a player (like the forums one) so you can remember easily what the rest of the conversation was.
ideas?

Eh, what about the "Sent Box" you have in game?
You can just check what messages you sent.
Though yes, 'threading' would be awesome; and should not be a very complicated thing to make happen (when you hit 'reply' the message is accompanied by an identifier which connects it to the message you are replying to; you could then filter per conversation - or even show other messages in the conversation when reading the latest).

yes i know the sent box but what if you need to look 3 or 4 messages back
and it really should be hard to implement

I agree and think at the least the reply function should show the message your replying to so that messages don't lose their context etc.....

Made a slight change to the topic title, to better reflect what you're suggesting!

Somewhat along the same lines, it would be great if "join" wasn't changed to "attach" in messages

That has to be one of the most annoying things....

What I find amusing is people who turn around and use 'attach' instead of 'join' on Skype, IRC or Forum.

Admin, if you do revamp the ingame message system then may I suggest also adding a "seen" note when the other player has actually read your message?

You can already tell if your recipient has seen the message (when he has read it, the message will not be coloured red in your 'Sent Box').
An actual notification would provide too much valuable intel on their activity level / timezones / you get the idea.

Awesome! Didn't spot that part of the update. It's perfect as is.
