Faction mail

**Mindsweep**

Would it be posible to upgrade the mail system, so you can send out to all in the faction and not just the crew? If it can be done with the crew mail, why not faction? Or do anyone know's a trick to send out to all in the faciton at once?

I'm not aware of a way to send out a faction mail, but i'd love to be able to.

**Gerik**

You could just email to captains and then have them pass it to their crew, but yeah, this would be nice too.

I just type in all the names... I dunno any other way to do it.

I've always heard this was because of a player who had claimed the name "Faction" before the email system was put in place, but that may just be a rumour.

In any case, the only thing I can suggest is sending one email to each captain, and then having them forward it to their crew. It would be nice if there was a one step way to email to the whole faction though. SMILEY

Thats what I heard too, and i have not seen the guy in years. I say we really need this, it would be very awesome.

**HutchieJNR**

It would help quite a bit.

Not a rumor, just a basic lie.
SOE would just make them rename.

If your going down this route you could also go down the org mail route.... which i imagine would be a nightmare to implement.

Then this also brings to mind .. org chat.

**Mindsweep**

Yes, taken it further to organization mail - org. chat - is another step forward. I just thought, that now the crew mail is working without problems it should be posible to upgrade it to faction mail, but again we need a answer from a dev. if that is posible at all...

Oh aye? Sweet... is it only captains / FM's that can do this or all in crew?

SRSLY??? I had no idea you could do that. NEAT!

Keep in mind that any updates to the chat system would need to take place system-wide, that is, not just MxO but all SOE games that use the (shared) chat system. So there would need to be the equivalent of "org chat" in SWG, EQ, EQ2, etc. etc.

Personally unsure, but a minor annoyance is if you do it to crew (I did it as my crews captain) it sends it to the whole crew and back to yourself...which makes sense since you are on your crew lol. Just funny to be sending mail to yourself.

As to the faction mail, I also would like to see this implemented sometime in the forseeable future. I think if you do org mail you'd have to wait and see how the new approach topic effects the splinter factions. An example would be if you send an email to zion does it only go to zionites or to EPN as well since they (from a PVP standpoint) are still zion?

Good suggestion though
