	https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/476361-Upcoming-Change-to-In-Game-Mail Because mail causes lag... Have fun removing the 9K+ items you have in your mailboxes before the Nerf occurs.

	"We�ve discovered a significant performance issue caused by the in-game mail system when inboxes get too large." Which is complete bullshit because there's literally NOTHING about mail that affects performance: no sound, animation, calculations, rendering, etc; NOTHING!� This is total bullshit of the highest order, and they're not even trying to hide it.

	It does say you won't lose anything, just can't use the AH until you get to less than 50.

	If you can roll it you can smoke it.� If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

You can buy pots from the vendor when you need them really easily. No need to mail them to yourself. DDoor scrolls are 1 inventory slot. Collectibles go in a bag, moron. Or shared crafting storage. Conumables, collectibles, and ingredients is a really fucking stupid excuse. And even for the few items that might make sense, there's not 10 of them. Let alone 50. Laziness is the only real reason people have that much shit in their mailbox.

Do you even Eldritch craft twink gear for every level, every life, faggot? Lern 2 DDO. A stack of 100 Ddoor scroll takes 1 inventory spot. Still. You don't need 200 of them in your inventory. 5 inventory slots for bags - Collectible, Ingredients, Gems, Cookie Jar, Augments. So far 6 slots out of 100. That's 94 other slots. Bags stack to 1000 each item. A large collectibles bag is sufficent as is a huge ingredients bag. (or 2 larges, if you are a poor ass MF). No worries there. Do I eldritch craft twink gear for every level? No. Why would I? This isn't 2009. Leveling goes too quickly and is too easy to waste time with that. +1 to AC, saves, or some small force damage isn't moving the needle anymore. Changing gear on leveling TR's is a thing of the past. Let alone crafting BTC gear for it. Lern to DDO in 2016, not the ancient past.

The last thing Turbine should allow is lazy habits of a few that affect performance for all.

	Should limit the tr cache space too while they are at it. The outrage of obsessive hoarders would be hysterical.

	I called it as soon as they said they were 'monitoring' mailboxes.� And then it was confirmed before it was confirmed by Jerry with a smug post of "Get ready to lose items in your mail."� I have to wonder if he deleted that, because I can't find it on the first page.� But he seems to have been busy with the official announcement, so maybe it just got pushed to the second page. Quote: We�ve discovered a significant performance issue caused by the in-game mail system when inboxes get too large. Translation:� We don't have a (competent) DBA, so shit like this is really hard for us to do.� So that's why we didn't have a handle on the fact that people were storing literally thousands of items in their mailboxes.� And then we were all like WTF!?!� We sell storage!� Time to fix this, pronto! There will be no change to lag from this patch. Edit:� I found smug Jerry's post leading up to losing stuff in mail storage: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/476034-Downtime-Notice-Wednesday-June-... Quote: Do not use the mail system for long-term storage, unless you enjoy losing things.
