This sounds great!

What's the max length of the body of an in game mail?

Also, some other things running through my head at the moment:
  • API - consistent item location co-ordinates (maybe relative to the starting position when you enter the home from the main door - will there be more than one door?)
  • API - consistent object order (for deliberate item overlap)
  • API - ability to select group of objects, then use API to iterate that group using a relative point at the center of the group (center X,Y can also be done by code, so relative point not absolutely necessary)
  • API - ability to place objects relative to a given point (to import a group), and possibly leave group selected (or make API call to select objects so we could place a bunch, then select them all)
  • API - validation that an object is owned and can be placed (in case someone tries to import a friends house and doesn't currently own one or more objects)
  • Designer - ability to select/manipulate group of objects

Sorry for the brain dump - hope at least one of these things was helpful
