I have a project in the works, but want to be sure of the details before I start posting on the Event forums or anything gets set in stone. At this point, I am curious about the Magical Post.
How well does the Post handle multiple packages/letters to the same person? By that I mean, if Gilain, for example, was sent 20 letters/boxes from various players, would he receive all of them normally or would some be lost due capacity or similar limitation? Or would it be safer to merely request such large amounts of mail be sent via forum PMs?
I remember past issues with the Post being ironed out over the years and since this isn't really something I can test in-game, I was hoping someone had some insight to share.

Re: Magical Post capacity
If someone was sent 20 items they would get all 20 by paying for each. The program works in that all notes/letters go to a storeroom. When you ask the mob Annah(or whichever city) to check the post she goes to this room and looks for a keyword of the name. In this case, our letters are labeled to 'Gilain' so she will see the Gilain item and tell him yes. When he pays, she will go in and grab the Gilain item and hand it off. She will continue to do this until they are gone.
All storerooms have a limit on how many items can be in them. All rooms in general, get to a point where 'you cannot drop anything else here' but that is a very high number so I would not worry about it.

Beshaba potatoes.
Re: Magical Post capacity
Figured each item would have its own cost attached to it. I had this strange picture of an event that relied on heavy use of the Post and some folks getting left in the cold by a capacity hiccup. A delusion brought on by too much mining maybe. But, since the Post is a storeroom system I feel better about it. Thank you!
