roll/pass system still has the flaw of mouse dependency unless the programmers add hot keys.... every action should have a /command and/or hot key associated with it.. i cant stand all the mouse clicking games make us do these days it drives me insane...
but yes jhonto's suggestion is a nice solution to the everyone clicking "need" for everything.
I totally agree. Alternatives to using the mouse should be available for selecting roll/pass. Macros, hot keys, etc. . . Good point.

As for the mail, the game needs mail WITH packages/items or the game needs an account vault which lets players move things between alts. It needs one or the other.
Why?
Player housing fills this need in DAoC.
With a broken Camelotherald.com it can be difficult to find a house, but once you've accomplished that, transferring items among characters on your account is as cheap as 300g lot + 1p house + 1p vault. In games like WoW, it typically takes one hour to send items and gold through the mail service, as the mail systems seem to involve some type of process that screens for gold and items linked to so-called Chinese farmers.

Separated buffs and debuffs would be nice, but that's it.

Because DAOC is a 10 year old game in maintenance mode. Next question....

In games like WoW, it typically takes one hour to send items and gold through the mail service, as the mail systems seem to involve some type of process that screens for gold and items linked to so-called Chinese farmers.
I understand that argument and it is valid. Anyone that wants to be able to transfer can simply level up to about 40, that is about where they are first able to have the plat to be able to purchase a home and then transfer things all they want (I am talking typical noob, not an experienced player PLing alts with their guild and generating huge plat along the way.)
In the past it was far more important to have mail with items or a general account vault, because in the past it took far longer just to get the plat needed. Today, if a player focuses on just one character, it takes very little time to get high enough to be able to afford a home.
The problems that I see with that are:
Many noob players start leveling alts long before their first character has the plat to purchase a home and those players want to transfer stuff. Even with the rapid leveling, most noobs run into challenges and frustrations transferring items/gold long before they get to a point where they can afford a home.
Many players come from other games where as a noob they can easily transfer items/gold and they expect player friendly features in DAoC.
Some players, many actually, do not want a home. They just don’t care about one. It annoys them to be forced into the process of running though housing looking for a lot (that is not 50 plat), if a lot even exists on their Ywain. They want to be out fighting, not putting on an apron and playing Sims. IMO if they do not want to play Sims they should not be forced to play Sims just so they can easily transfer things.

Sending mail to alts on your own account it is instant (no delay). The delay is only when sending things to other accounts.
