Is the Orien express a mailbox?

I've always liked how close the AH and mail are to the entrance in the harbor.

House J is nice too for it's proximity to a mailbox and bag vendor.

My God!  It's like the game is being designed by people who have never played it once in their lives

And The Twelve has a nice open-air tavern right at the airship door.

I hate that I have bank, auction, tavern and mail on my ship, but cant put it on top so it is pretty much useless, because if I want to transfer stuff from 1 char to another when I log off I will be on top deck, not where I logged off, in cargo.

True, but they watched their Community Manager play it once 

It's probably all deliberate. More running around time = more time in game. Quality of play be damned, it raises the hours logged in KPIs!

Vaults usually full of BS but this thread rings true

Even if there was spend time for designing all the new rooms which feels somewhat wasted because most players not going to see much of it regularly it isn't that bad.
The real problem is the additional loading screen to get to the mailbox, bank, auctioneer and shop keeper. But the Orien Express with a room including a shop keeper next to it is not more walking around than it was on top deck before the redesign. Although I agree that it needs more time to get there because of the loading screen. But with the longer lasting ship buffs you can go back to air ship after a longer time of doing quests, so if you are able to have enough free inv spots it's less time spend to sell stuff, bank it, mail it or auction it.

But atm I am using the cargo hold as well, just because it's less walking around than it ever was.
That's very nice if you are a hoarder like me and need to clear bank/inventory for each TR. :S
That usually takes at least 2 hours for me and is not really fun, but I can't just throw away everything, it might become handy somewhen.

If you lay out your ship properly it isn't an issue.

we put all vendors on the 1st deck with the teleportation room directly across from the Orien express.  all the crafting stuff is on the second deck.  all the fluff everywhere else.  it's been very convenient.

maybe you need a bigger boat?

When you enter the airship it should ask which deck.

Then just go straight to the cargo hold.

cargo hold is the place to be, yo.

I thought I read on other forums a dev stating that cargo hold buffs were being finished forever at U23.
