Realy dont get it, why add mail system to a game?
Do people have so many mails that they cant wait until playtime over or tab out to your mail program?

Completly remove the roleplay game part from this game imho.

Because people usually can't be on (and responsive) 24/7 and setting up groups, raids, and crafting transactions is much easier if you don't have to play whisper down the lane to do it.

Edit: BTW, how do you justify being able to communicate instantly with anyone, anywhere in the game world, without that same justification being applicable to a mail system?

I dont want people i meet in a MMORPG to have my email address. An ingame email will be amazing for the reasons stated above.

In-game email is a phenomenal tool for guilds. The necessity and functionality of it completely outweighs the cons, and I'm a roleplayer.
