Messages only good if online

[Gullander]

I sent Merry Christmas greetings to a number of people on my friend lists who were not online. No one responded so I sent a message between two of my alts. The result the message does not wait like it used to, if your person isn't online they don't get the message.

Too bad really..... sometimes it's a long time between catching someone on line... especially those friends who don't use the forum. Awhile back a friend thought I was ignoring him but now I see the message for whatever wisdom it was decided was never delivered.

I think it's bad form for a social game to make socializing impossible but for ideal conditions.

Good post. That explains a couple of things for me as well.

BINGO!!!!!! I have noticed the same thing.

I was wondering why messages were not being responded to.

Now we all know ....

On a phone, you receive a notification to the phone. Assuming that is turned on for that phone, etc. I don't think it ever worked another way for me, but you guys have been playing much longer.

Edit: The notification might only be for the last alt logged in. I'm not certain about that part.

For me it's the same. But it would be much better in my opinion if you'd get the notification AND the leter with the message as it was normally would appear.

I do not use the "android" version (reinstalled to test) I use the PC version.
I see NO notifications and do not want to.

I like the old method where messages were waiting for you when you get online.
- Android version: "Notifications" do not allow you to answer, they are gone by the time you open the game.
- had a few from different people, they were not online when I entered game....
- - communication Lost.

But on the PC version where we use to get envelope with the "name (date time stamp) there is no nothing.

Use to be you send a message and get:

Code: Select all

Message delivered

now If your "Friend" is not online the message disappears into the void and NO:

Code: Select all

Message delivered

Also: A notification of an incoming message - and no message is not an ideal situation.

KUDO's to Gull for catching this.

This is still a minor issue as no one else has mentioned it. But all said above i tried. All to be true as well
No more messages waiting when you return -
The last alt you used it the one you will receive notifications about.
(IF YOU TURN NOTIFICATIONS OFF) just one time and back on they seem to not work again?
I have had that happen recently as I turned off my phone notifications entirely and had to re-enable them all and after I did I no longer receive notifications from FT, I tried with my alt h8taz Shop. I really do miss the old version of messaging as well I just left a message to a friend the other day not on and didn’t know that it was changed to this new system and figured they just didn't want to answer me but i can imagine it is due to some old messages taking up space on the server for so long or something like that maybe thats why we haven’t reverted back to the old system as it seems to be everyone favorite in the thread just my thoughts
