In Game Mail (messenger pigeons)
Just a thought for when you send an in game mail to someone.
Rather than just having your character stand idle while you write perhaps:
1) Animation of character showing them writing on a note pad (or equivalent)
2) When you press send, a small carrier pigeon animation shows and the pigeon flys off into the distance
3) When you receive a mail, the then reverse. A carrier pigeon can be seen flying in from distance to you.
The more actions in game that are representative of the actual actions players are undertaking the more diversity and possible more immersion.
Just a thought.

Yes, that was my thought. No so original.
It would need to be designed around single mails and/or have a different animation for spam / multiple mails in quick succession. The spam mail animation looked horrendous.
But if adjusted and done a little better, perhaps a flock coming in or going out for group mail would be quite fun to see!
Or Mynocks!
