I figure I'll be saving digital paper by putting all these questions here:
 
1) Why are players buying a subscription subject to a waiting period before their threads are posted? I can understand this for F2P because you don't want SPAM, but who is going to buy a sub just to post SPAM?
 
2) When trying to send mail in the game, what conditions cause "Player was not found" messages. The name I'm using is exactly as the name appears in my friend's list.
 
3) The player mentioned above is also in my list as "Account" friend, unlike every other person. I don't know who the person is. The Wiki has absolutely nothing about account friends. How does one become an account friend? Is this just a way of showing friends of my alt?
 
4) Are macros only for creating chat text or can they be used for skills in the game, like chaining attacks? Some games do this.
 
5) Why would the avatar import for this forum not work? I see other people with custom avatars. It says "200x200 pixels" are more. I have tried exactly 200x200, larger and even smaller, in both PNG and JPG. The file sizes are within limits also, but it doesn't work.

1. a little after f2p happened the forums got FLOODED (understatement mind you) with RMT threads. it was really bad. so you can now only have 1 thread a day until a better fix is in place or they think its a good time to release the hold.
 
2. i would ask if the persons name is spelled right or has the been banned/deleted? this is the only thing i can see for this happening.
 
3. i have nothing on this as this is the first time i heard of this.
 
4. i want to say marcos arent allowed here (chaining moves together on one key) as most games that do allow them have it built into their system already. i could be wrong, a vet will correct me.
 
5. the avatar for forums has been shut off before the launch of f2p. you can still get it to work by repeatedly trying or even using a different browser (most have stated explorer or foxfire work as chrome wont).
 
hope these help :D

			3) account friends are a sort of Meta friendlist. The handle defaults to your first character name, but can be changed. This level of friend means you still see each other online even when on different alts. its very handy for real life friends, or just people you know with a lot of alts.

1) But all that flooding was no doubt from non-subscribers. If I buy 3 months Signature in advance, I think my posts should be posted immediately. That's what I'm saying.
 
2) Name is spelled correctly. I don't think the system could be misspelling names. I believe what this is (after more research), is just indicating who is a subscriber to the game. I think subscribers see friends across different factions but not F2P people. This person was on my friend's list on my other character, who was in the opposite faction.
 
3) See #2.
 
4) Macros are definitely allowed, they are in the game. You can make macros of text to send to chat. I'm just not sure if it extends to skills.
 
5) Odd that such a professionally done game and forum would not have working avatars, but I'll keep trying.
 
Thanks again for responses.

2) You can't send mail across factions, period. This bothered me, too, especially since the error message "Player not found" is less than helpful and doesn't really communicate what the actual problem is.
 
As I understand it, the economies between factions are kept separate, and locking mail prevents people from getting around this.
 
Just another way that factions get in the way of playing with people you actually know...
