There is waaay too much lag from PMs, and I've been killed a few times when i accidentally clicked on a pm, and was waiting for it to load. I also wish there was a way to turn the heads off on the mini-map, so you can still see it, but don't have the heads cluttering it up. A few weeks ago, they had a trivia quiz by PM, and b4 I could even read the questions, the answers were already up. I really could have used the cash prizes, as I don't PK, and I knew most of the answers. This is not too big of a deal, but it can be if you get killed while waiting for a PM to load. I strongly agree with Kaimetsu that PM's should be accessed through the playerlist. The toalls are fine, but PM's are big trouble, especially on my 28.8 modem. Also, I think the toalls should be cached in case you click through one. Once, i was waiting for some important information, and I accidentally double clicked, so the toall disappeared, and I had to feel stupid by asking again. This way, the toalls would be saved to a small text file, or even better, you could choose whether to save toalls or not in the options menu. NEway, sorry I got off the subject there, but yeah, good idea. There is another thread "GIM/buddy list" about making the chat system an external program, like AIM (which sux) or ICQ. That would end a lot of lag! Especially if the chat client was run on a separate server from the game server.
Stefan, please read this thread!!!!!!

P.S. Kaimetsu, how do you "screw up" a piece of paper?
