Hello!
I've created a text-based game by following the mmo tutorials, + i've added some things,
but can anyone help me create a mail box, in which i can send, and read mail from other players in the game? Or maybe that takes to much space in the database?

you can always put on your website the html code that lets them create an E-mail to send to you
<a href="mailto:
email@provider.com">send me an email!</a>
of course replace "
email@provider.com" with your email
with my computer it opens up outlook express and lets them send a message.

just add a table called mail, with fields of
PID
sender
date
read
subject
body
then make a php page with a while statement much like the equipment where it queries select * from mail where pid = player id
if read = 1 then it hasn't been read and make it orange or something, then once you open it do a update and make read = 0
make another new page that they can make a new mail.
I could make a video tut on this but it may be a while.
