Using the "saved messages" feature

As a note, there is a new feature as explained on the news sticker, "saved messages" currently available as the little scribe image at the bottom left of each message.

A good use of the feature is to click it for every message you want to deal with later, usually requests or letters you want to respond to later, the most common being requests for gold that you want to hand out at tax day.

Thus if you save those requests, then come tax day you can simple click "all saved" at the top or "all saved messages" in the messages page to access these requests, and after you fulfill each you can click on the icon again to remove the message from the "saved" category.

Have fun! :)

P.S.  If you think this belongs in the development forum, feel free to move it there.  I was a little torn on where it should go as I would also like to know how others are using this. :)

I've been meaning to start a topic on this. Let me say this is one my favorite developments in the game lately, very much needed and very, very useful! Thanks a lot!

I mostly use it for those times when I'm doing a quick check, want to respond thoughtfully or lengthily (or just at all) to a message, but don't have time at that moment to do so.

Awesome feature!

I've not had a reason to use it yet but I love the fact that we have it in there! I know I'll get quite a bit of use out of it at some point and would have loved it at certain times in the past.

It is also a good way to keep track of RP's that apply to your character. I don't know about you guys, but often have a bit of trouble keeping all the facts strait sometimes, so referring back is quite useful. One question I have along this line is how long are the messages saved for?

Indeed, that is a great idea as well!

And I believe it's for 30 days like all messages are.

Perth is entirely correct.  Messages will still disappear after 30 days, and I'm glad that you guys like it! :D
