Game hints when saving

[+Colibri]

I'm going to add a neat small feature, that is when a world saves there will be a short hint published, something you can read during the 7-10 seconds while the world is saving.

I'm looking for suggestions on what could be in those lines.

Things such as:

1. Did you know? You can access your account details by typing in [account
2. If you don't like pathfinding, you can disable it in the options menu.
3. Always insure your items as you never know when you might be disconnected.
4. (Maybe even funny ones like) An apple a day keeps the doctor away. It really does.

And well other useful hints about the game that people might not yet know. So feel free to write your own suggestions... things that you think arent known enough, hints on how to improve the player experience, and such.

You can change the color of all your text in the options menus.
you can hearth to your house by using recall on your key.
Typing I pray to the gods will open your cleric spells.

Get some stuff from the crystal ball, like my favorite: **shimmers, crackles and fades** - or "Eat at the Blue Boar!"

You could also advertise some places, like the Casino, or the mage inquistors quest museum; and some player services, like the housing ones.

Maybe also tell about some useful items features, such as the ability of the wood workers keys to carry arrows and bolts, or the crustal ball of pet summoning.

At last, if its not against the shard interest, tel also about bods rewards - how to get skill clothing, organics, and other desired items.

I still think that many people are not aware of two very useful things, which is CNTRL + shift shows all names on screen and holding shift while dragging a stack of something will allow you to bypass having to click the button on the amount bar ... very handy.

Maybe this is not quite the right place to say this, since it's a request as well:

One of the hints while saving should pertain to how to use the mysterious post box in front of Britain bank, if it even works. Perhaps I am not looking closely enough but I couldn't find out what it did on the wiki and codex (if I am wrong and overlooked it, sorry! I honestly missed it then).
I read somewhere about a system to send items to offline people without having to meet them in person. I assume this system is it, but I can't figure out how to make it work.
Aside from that, I would also like to know: does it work between two characters on the same account, and how much does it cost to use if anything?

Anyways, the answers to those questions would make good hints since I get the feeling not many people know how to use it (or they just aren't telling me ).

Nobody has put it on the wiki yet, but here's a little about how the postbox system works:

Oh and one very important piece of information: you can craft the address book using inscription. The higher your inscription skill, the higher chance of making a book that can hold more addresses.

Oh, I see now.
Thanks, that sounds great!
