I have seen the suggestion for trading a few times, and seen other players discuss but I wanted to offer a few ideas and expand on the suggestions. As for trading, there are many ways to go but possibly have a trading post with trading tables...there is a practice in another online game that I have played where players visited the "club house" and entered the trading room. Players would have to be in active play at time of trade and meet other players at the trading table. you could drag items from your "dock/vault" to the table, you could offer up to 3 items and the other player would then place the items they would offer as a trade. Some items where much more valuable than others, players could decide themselves what they would consider fair trade. I think any variation of this process, adapted of course for CRPG would be a great feature, even if it was limited to crews. The "trading table" could be an item specifically for crew house. ?

Along with trading, the ability to send mail to other players which could incorporate an option to also send items or gifts. This is also something that the other online game offered. Either just a note to say Hi, Congratulations..ETC. or a note and a gift/item that you wanted to send the other player. The mail could be personalized with different box packaging and stationary. To adapt to CRPG, I would suggest a fee...chips/CP depending upon what you wanted to send. The initial fee would include basic packaging, but for an additional fee CP/Chips there would be an option to personalize your message and packaging...stationary/wrapping..
