Are those still a thing? I was reminded of them because one of the "Tips" told me I could check my ingame mail on the website. I expect it was out of date, considering the Grab and Smash descriptions are out of date/wrong.
What I wish would happen:
- in Game email on the website
- Character views on the website
- Twitter and Facebook (/social media) to be reconfigured and made live again
Really, the last one is a huge one -- I think Cryptic was way ahead of its time on that. In 2009 we could Tweet from in game and post pics to facebook from in game back in a time when hardly anyone used those platforms compared to today -- now that Twitter and Facebook have literally saturated the internet... nada..
I'm sure Tweets and Facebook posts would go a long way to promote the game and the APIs can't be *that* hard to implement into the game as they really wouldn't be connected to anything in the core game mechanics.
As long as we can keep Ironclad from talking in all CAPS, let's get this rolling!

They switched to an ancient serverflock and it didn't understand all the Cool Stuff that was going on.
So they Streamlined whole thing.
And the janitor had his overtime booked, so he couldn't maintain the regular maintains.
Whole Cryptic is out-of-date.
And playing by myself since Aug 2009

ingame mail is 500
forum mail is 100 including sends/receives. yes it counts sends.
character list,unfrotunately that went when we swapped to the new forums or was it when we swapped to on aler. been a long time since we had access.
who uses twitter or facebook?
I don't and I sure as hell aren't going to be sending messages while playing. Anyone wants to know whats going on, they can login themselves.
Note: facebook, blogs, patch notes are done by an office worker if they have spare time from their normal duties.
and if you read the tips on screens when changing zones you can see more out of date info.

And yet, you reference not one, but two Twitter accounts in your sig
As you probably know, adjusting the number of PMs on the forums is literally a single setting. The hard part of the accounts already being joined is still done.
And the old functions were pretty customizable for Facebook and/or Twitter. You could even make it auto update when you got purple gear, defeated cosmic characters, got perks, reached level milestones, etc. All the same crap that those ****ty facebook games do now except with an actual, fully featured game.
It's all about marketing and web presence and something the developers really ought to consider hooking back up.
