Mailbox in Barovia, please!

Why is there no Mailbox in Barovia? please add one.

How will they find their way there and back? They have no mailboxes due to lore. Ravenloft is surrounded by a mist that confuses travelers!

I could imagine Ravens as transport medium.
At least within Ravenloft.
They seem to be the only ones who have no problems travelling through the mist.

Or ... what about transport via planes that are supposed to exist in any (A)D&D setting ?

Edit : Wikipedia tells me that there are indeed very few options.

The only other way I can think of is to do a mailbox *within* the mist in House Jorasco : Since the mist there seems / appears to belong to Ravenloft more or less, so to say, it can be seen as some kind of "outlet". If then a mailbox would be situated *within* this mist at the entrance in House Jorasco, it would - in this interpretation, if I follow it - still belong to Ravenloft.
The same would be true for the mist within Eveningstar, then.

A Vish fortune teller with a crystal ball peering into the mist for distance messages from beyond.

You play D&D people. Use a little imagination for crying out loud

Strahd has seen what your Vish fortune teller was trying to do and now removed her ability to see the messages!

The mailbox got a tentacle beard.

Yeah, this - by lore it should be nearly impossible to get out of Ravenloft in general.

I think it should stay like this even if not convenient, especially when the bottle of mist + exit to guild ship/eveningstar options make Ravenloft kind of the easiest waypoint to get from anywhere to anywhere else (for those who have the bottle). The lack of a mailbox is at least a little nod to the lore that makes it feel a little less connected.

If you want to follow lore there is a lot of things ddo needs to correct.

I suspect WOTC won't allow a mailbox.

They have to get WOTC blessing on just about everything they do.

I like the idea of putting a mailbox at the ES and Jorasco entrances to Ravenloft, because after all, the Orien postal workers union absolutely refuses to set foot in Ravenloft, as well they should. Negotiations with the Kobold workers union as an alternate supplier broke down, because 'Kobold STILL hate you', despite promises that kobold family would eat fresh rat tonight.

I suspect WOTC won't allow a mailbox.

And yet they allow branches of House Kundarak's banking enterprise!

Less stockholming and more player convenience please.

Hubs should have the full array of a guild entrance, vendors, auction house, mailbox, bankers, and an inn.

In other words : "Hubs should cater my laziness."

Basic amenities in paid expansion content makes sense to me.

The lore reasoning is rather flimsy. If people really wanted lore we'd never be able to leave, or at best end up in our own demiplane.

The House K bank, guild ship access, and House J transport option being present already "breaks immersion" or whatnot.

DDO has enough problems and doesn't have to be 10 miles uphill each way for no good reason.
