Please put a mailbox somewhere in Ravenloft

[Altra]

At least one of the inns in Ravenloft needs a mailbox.
"We've got mail"
"Go see the feather guy, see if it's favor"
"Nope. Exit to ship"
"Oh. It's DDO points that didn't catch up with the last favor tier"
"On to Jorasco to get back"

Please. With pumpkins AND whipped cream on top? Please.

This was requested from the very beginning, the issue we were told was that mail couldn't cross the Mists according to WotC or lore or both I no longer recall. But I like to point out in addition to us crossing and re-crossing the Mists, we are told within the story itself that Strahd allowed? the Vistani to cross the Mists and roam wherever they like. Therefor, since at least some of the Vistani can take Raven form it would be reasonable for a mail box like the one in Eveningstar to exist in Ravenloft but with mail delivered by ravens, possible were-raven Vistani?

But I wouldn't hold my breath, if such a change takes place it would most likely occur if and when we get another Ravenloft expansion.

Isnt there a bank in one of the inns? If a bank can exist...why not a mailbox?

I believe there is a bank in each hub of Ravenloft, but I do NOT know the answer to your question.

Yeah, that´s really a lazy excuse for "we can´t be bothered to code it"
You have access to your bank, you can teleport in and out of Ravenloft as you please, and when the keepers of the feather want to inform you that you earned enough favor with them to rank up, for some reason they send the letter to Eberron...

 

[Altra]

That's what sticks with me.
I have to go to Ebberon to get a letter from the Ravenloft favor guys.
This makes no sense to me.

They could even leave a note with the Barmaid or whoever, but I get mail from them that I can't read without taking a walkabout.

 

[Valerianus]

agree. it's a videogame, putting basic services in a hub should be standard just because, it has nothing to do with lore

Indeed. And we did beg and complain and try to reason with them but it fell on deaf ears at the time. Maybe if they have another Ravenloft expansion its something they will fix in the future.

And that is rubbish anyway, how can we have a bank in Ravenloft?

 

[Lazuli]

I agree, any background reason does not make sense when the email crosses the mists to inform us in Eberron of the favor obtained in Ravenloft.

Ravenloft would like a mailbox, just like Feywild would like an Epic Trainer. It's been asked for many many times. It ain't gonna happen, so save your breath.

Sometimes we get improvements by asking for them, especially when they are not complicated to implement. By asking we don't lose anything!

Not to mention that Mail makes it just fine to Isle of Dread despite it being completely unheard of in Eberron and inaccessible.

Great idea! A mailbox has been placed in each of the Ravenloft taverns for an upcoming patch. Thank you!

what about an auction house in every one?

 

[Arkat]

I believe both the Blue Water Inn and the Blood on the Vine Tavern have an auctioneer as well as a banker.

Van Richten's Tower is not an Inn or Tavern.

Have you ever seen a fat old lady dance with joy?
I'm SO happy for this!
