Allow me to clarify. If you want to send a message to someone now you type in /msg (their name) (your message). If they're offline you get the message <The player "their username" is not online>. If this was to be implemented the message would be sent and say <The player "their username" is not online. They will receive this message when online.> and the message would be sent to them when the person gets back online in a format like so:
Intelli: Hey (sent at 3:00 AM 6/14/13)

I believe this has been suggested before.

Suggested before as dlgn said, it was denied because the functionality is too similar to PM's on the forums, and if you don't have a forum account, the easy solution is to just get one :P. Regardless of that huge reason, if this was implemented anyway as it is, it would be too easy to spam someone and have them receive 1000 msgs when they get online. This idea would need some tweaking, but anyway you can just send pms :P

This idea was basically submitted and marked invalid here: http://minerealm.com/community/viewtopi ... 10&t=11232

I personally think its a good idea though, as long as there is some sort of consequence for spamming.

There will always be spam. There is sometimes spam in the guild and buddy chat. Maybe to avoid spam you would make it so you can only send these messages to buddy's or people in your guild, that way if you do get spammed you can remove them from the guild or buddy list. I don't get on the minerealm website as often as the game, so I figure that the message will get across faster if you can send it through the server.

Plus, we already have this - forum PM's. The forums exist for a reason. Doing everything in-game just clutters things up.
If he's already working on something already then this is invalid as well.
