[OOC part]
What is it?
The APS is a full RP organization, dedicated to carrying and delivering any written or oral missives your RP character would want to send.

How does it work?
Want to send a letter? Nothing is more simple!
All you have to do is use a Book and Quill to write your message, and deposit it in one of our many Offices Deposit Box! (or give it to any of our Couriers)
You can bring your own, or buy one from the seller in the Office or from one of our Messengers.
Want details about the way it works? Have a look at the third post below!

Of course you’ll be able to find a Guide in every of our offices, reminding you of everything you need to know to send a letter, and reminding you of the fees!

Does it cost something?
Sure, you can’t expect a business to run and prosper without costing anything! :D

But our fees are really low, as you’ll see in any of our Offices, everyone can afford them!

Want to make sure you don’t miss any important message?
Install a mailbox in front of your house!
A simple chest, locketed if you want, will be enough to be sure you’ll have your mail!
Don’t forget to set it as your mailbox, using the command /mailbox, to make sure you’ll get warned if some mail awaits you upon log-in!

A question still unanswered?
Ask me here or in-game [icefire120], IC or OOC and I’ll make sure every single question will be answered! :)

The APS pledge
The service revolves around 4 mottos, to which all our Couriers are bound:

- Privacy is our watchword
The security and privacy of your messages are guaranteed. Nobody will read your letters, nobody will touch it besides the Courier delivering it.
This particular pledge will be defended by our Oath swearing Postmen with their lives if needed.

- The APS service is cheap and safe
We made sure that everyone can afford the fees for sending a letter, and that everyone is treated equally when using our services.

- No mail will be left undelivered
Every courier left in our offices will be delivered, being it in the Northern Kingdoms or the distant and dangerous Sorrowlands, in a mailbox or directly in the hands of your recipient!
If a message does not get delivered, a complete redund of the service fees will be made!

- Our couriers are here to serve and help.
Secured and easily accessible Headquarters have been made in the village of Thiil and in Port Silver, allowing all the Messengers to meet and exchange! The mail is departing from these places towards the entire world of Altera!

Here’s a step-by-step guide to use our service:

1. You’ll first need a Book and Quill.
You can bring your own, buy one from the seller in the Office, or from one of our Messengers!
2. On the first page, write down your name, the name of the recipient, and its last known address, using the template below:
From:
To:
At:
(don’t forget to write yours and the recipient’s OOC name in [] on each line !)
3. Add a list of any items that must be delivered with the message, one per line if possible.
4. Write your message, and sign the book!
5. Hand it over to any of our Messengers
available, who will ask you for the related fees for the shipment.
If no Messenger are present, you can put your mail in the Deposit box in the
Office. It will be picked up as soon as possible and delivered right away.
If you don’t feel comfortable with leaving your private missive in the box, please get in touch with any Messenger, or the owner of the APS, Athryl Mithtanil [icefire120], of which one of them will take care of your mail.
6. If no one is present at the time of your sending, one of our representatives will get in touch with you to collect the fees before sending your package.
Be warned! No package nor mail will be delivered if the fees aren’t paid!
Mail for which nobody would pay will be stored in the “Lost and found” chest in the Office, until someone pays for it, or it will be destroyed.

Town Owner ? Mayor, Official ?
The APS is here to answer all your questions!

Separator.png

Are you a Town Owner? A Mayor?
Are you looking to expand the APS network to your city and bring its benefits to your land?
There’s nothing more easy!

For an improved coverage of its city, any mayor is able to request the installation of a local branch of the APS inside the city's walls.
It’s free, and the Post Office only requires a small building!

With the permission of the city's Officials, rigging personal mailboxes in front of the inhabitants's houses is a possibility, at the request and charge of the fore-mentioned inhabitant.

Depending on the Mayor's wishes, the Office will be installed inside or outside the city's walls, but always at an easily accessible place. If needed, the Officer will receive any required Region permissions to be able to manipulate the agency chests or the personal mailboxes that could have been installed in the city.

Separator.png

Are you an official of any sort of Service?

Have a message to deliver to everyone in Altera?
Official missives to some allies or rivals nobody else should read?


The APS already has, and is, able to deliver bulk amounts of messages, to individuals or everybody at the same time!
Multiple organizations have trusted our service for their needs, delivering messages to every living soul in Altera!


Our service can be adapted to your needs, just speak to the APS owner, Athryl Mithtanil [icefire120] for any special enquiries!

This is a small bump for a few things-
  • Can we get all messages not related to the APS removed? Need the space.
  • Can all towns/cities that requested an APS branch post below? I need to keep track of where I am building. Thanks!
