Hub trade sell order at Mataba at [893|-571] in Djebeli accepted

....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60...65...70

Various things are wrong with that subject:

At some point in time I had a trader at Mataba, therefore I know where it is.
For starters I know that Mataba is not my town, therefore it must be a hub.
When I get online there are dozens of trade mails, folks buying 200 wood here, or 500 stones there, and all relevant info could fit in the subject:

Sell order at Mataba for 500 wood accepted

With that info in the subject I could delete the mail without reading it. This could be improved, e.g., say completed instead of accepted if it was the rest of the goods for the given order, because that's when I might wish to create a new sell order.

Sell order at Grovinton for 500 wood accepted by name

That would be even better, folks buying small amounts in Grovinton can be new players in need of a "carevan". It would be also fine to get the trade info (only) as notification instead of a mail. Or a mixture with additional mails only for important trades, where important could mean "order completed", "more than 100K gold have a new owner", or similar.

OTOH all events where vans, cotters, or specialists are killed or interrupted deserve mails to both affected players; no matter if the hostile troops arrived first or later, or if it's about vans or about other gatherers. Well, one mail suffices if the opposition are NPCs. Tongue

agree in most of it

the best would be a option:

send message when deal accepted

don't send message when deal accepted

and we could chose (from deal to deal) what to send message or not

in our account preferences we could save on of them as default.

they would show just like that square saying "buy from faction"
