How long to mail to character wow vanilla

A blast from the past!

In World of Warcraft Vanilla (patch 1.0-1.12), the mail system was a bit different from what we're used to today. Here's a brief rundown:

Mail Delivery Time:

• Mail sent to a character in the same city or a nearby city (e.g., Ironforge to Stormwind) would typically take around 1-2 minutes to arrive.
• Mail sent to a character in a distant city (e.g., Ironforge to Orgrimmar) would take around 5-10 minutes to arrive.
• Mail sent to a character in a different continent (e.g., Ironforge to Kalimdor) would take around 15-30 minutes to arrive.

Factors Affecting Mail Delivery Time:

• Server load: If the server was experiencing high traffic or lag, mail delivery times might be longer.
• Distance: As mentioned earlier, mail sent to a character in a distant city or continent would take longer to arrive.
• Time of day: Mail delivery times might be affected by the time of day, with peak hours (e.g., evening hours) potentially leading to longer delivery times.

Tips for Minimizing Mail Delivery Time:

• Use the in-game mail system to send mail to characters in the same city or nearby cities.
• Consider using a mail add-on, such as "Mail Alert" or "Postal", to help track and manage your mail.
• Try to send mail during off-peak hours (e.g., early morning or late night) to minimize server load and reduce delivery times.

Keep in mind that these times are approximate and may vary depending on your specific server and playstyle. Happy gaming!
