We are told we may start up to 20 characters. I have a guild, hoping to bring my alt character into the fold and benefit from borrowing tools, etcetera.

Players can only receive messages if they are online at time of sending. So far, this is the only way I know to look up a character who isn't nearby, by clicking their name from a received text. 2 characters from one login aren't allowed to coexist simultaneously ...I know, I've tried lol! Having two windows open disconnects one the moment you try to msg the other.

Is there currently a way around this? If not, do you prefer there not be a way? Could it be made so that joining a guild is a two way street where not only applications to the guild reviewed, but also invitations sent out to prospective members? I can see where the latter would be a no because of each guild possibly flooding the game with mass invitations. If nothing else, I would like to apply to a guild without it's leader present and I just can't see it happening without one-way messaging allowed where the receiver reviews waiting messages upon logging in.
