PM notifications

I'm sure that all of you have had to walk away from your computer at some point without warning, only to come back and see that you've been logged out for idling. Heck, sometimes your Internet cuts out, and you see a few PM bubbles but miss the names next to them.

It can be quite a problem to log back in and not know who PM'd you--and an even bigger problem if you aren't even aware that you received a PM at all. I don't know about you guys, but I don't exactly go through my PMs folder for easy reading, so I'd likely never know what I was PM'd if I wasn't given a reason to look it up.

That being said, I'd like a way to be notified of any unchecked PMs when I log back into Graal. This is really more than just an item of convenience; important PMs to and from both players and staff can be lost. In a game that relies so heavily on communication, a system for recovering these 'lost' PMs is essential.

I believe there's a onPM event that is called when you receive PMs, servers can probably provide such a feature.

Yeah, shouldn't be too hard to make.

Ya, I hate when I accidentally get disconnected and lose PMs

This is actually a really good idea. I always seem to come back in the nick of time to see that yellow bubble before "YOU HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED FOR HAVING A STUPID FACE", so it'd be nice if I could reach back and get the PM I missed.
