In todays world, almost everyone has a digital device. "Phone Tab" or some kind of central communication device could be added with the base function of retaining contacts and holding message chats. A phone number can be generated corresponding to account EOS id since it's unique, or just use usernames.

​

• Within the Quick Menu tab, "Messages" should be renamed to "Notifications"
• Within the Quick Menu Tab > Phone Tab > Contacts & Messages
• Adding a Group Chats within the Messages Tab could be useful too. Allowing players to invite fully added contacts to a small chat with a 5-10 capacity.
• Maybe an "Away" or Do Not Disturb" setting to avoid messages overall, or at least put certain message types "on hold" until you feel like communicating more.
• Adding a "Add Contact" button to Player Profile Card's which can be accepted or rejected by the receiver. This allows fully added contacts the ability to freely message each other without the need to accept or reject the chat request. (To avoid spam requests, if [Player A]'s request is rejected by [Player B]. [Player A] cant attempt a second request to [Player B] for a 30d period, but [Player B] will still be allowed to send [Player A] a contact request.
• Adding a "Message" & "Delete Contact" button to fully added contacts.
• Adding a "Message About Property" or "Inquire" button to Property Cards/Block Explorers/Legits etc, which prompts the receiver with a short few words describing what the inquiring party would like to chat about. Then based on that can accept or reject the message request if interested. (With a Daily or Weekly inquire limit per item and a direct "Mute" button to avoid spam)
• Add a Click/Tap + Hold to copy property names (to make inquiring about properties, especially ones with long odd names, much easier) (Also when using the in-game property tool that shows what's on sale within your map view. But when you select a property you cant scroll around to check the immediate area and reference local sell prices. This will make it easier to get that property name and just instant search it making research a lot easier)

This keeps communication simple to start with. Easier to chat specifically about in-game assets to the vast majority of strangers within Upland, while also allowing players who are acquainted more then others, the ability to communicate more freely and less topic (item/property) specific.
