First of all, what does L33T mean? I've been playing since August and this strange word keeps popping up. Does it mean an Elite class or leet? Confusion is a pain, someone answer.
And second of all, wouldn't it be nice to have your weaponsmith/armorsmith/artisan/tailor/BE orders shipped directly to your character overnight? So, instead of waiting for that one weaponsmith or tailor who only does special orders to come online, you can email them and give them consent to send you the item in a cool shipping system while you are off-line. And then, upon log-on you get a box that says "Please Deposit Item money and delivery charge" or something like that, and if you don't give the money, you won't get the item. That would make crafter-made items more desirable if the player can get them sooner, rather than going through the whole fiasco of trying to catch the -smith before he/she logs.

L33t does mean ELite!
and secondly i think thats a good idea, but only for offline not for people that are on the otherside of the galaxy or perhaps put a time delay on the item, so that it takes a "game" day before it arrives!

In fact, L33t means Moron. Just wanted to clarify. Oh the people who call themselves l33t think it means elite. ::wink::
Shipping would be simple for the public bazaar... there could just be an option "ship to this site" under the available items section... shipping could cost ~100 credits/ item and take a few days to arrive. I don't think a game driven system would work well for personal vendors though.
I'd settle for sellers being able to place special order items on their vendor ONLY AVAILABLE to the specific person/ people who ordered the item(s), or place items (prepayed) for those people directly into their available items section, rather than on the open market.
Of course, if there is a market out there that does not wish to bother with "travel" for their own shopping needs, PLAYERS could start a delevery service (SWG is player based for all that type of stuff)... That is someone e-mails their order& the wp of their vendor and the "player couriers" go buy the stuff, and offer it to the vendor of whoever "hired" them.
Maybe some of the larger "malls" will start something like this in the future (would still be the obvious delay so they could save up several "orders" headed toward the same delivery planet to save on spacefare/ time... rush delevery more expensive, etc).
Players may start doing this as a business venture when space vehicles come out... it's a good excuse to go flying.

On the topic of deliveries:

Kurt Stangl: Delivery capability and adding player vendor items to a "global search" are great ideas, but hard to develop and implement. It is a top issue for "feature requests" and it is an item that developers and players both want to see in-game.

-------------------------------------------------------------
As with any type of competition, 'smack' talk became prevalent in online gaming. Phrases such as 'I am elite' became common place, and somewhere down the line l33t speak crept in, reforming the phrase into '1 4m 3l1t3' in order to demonstrate that the speaker was a hacker and someone to be feared. It was further exaggerated by purposeful bad spelling and eventually wound up as something like this, '1 4m 3l33t!' and simplified to, '1 4m 133t'. Hence the name 'l33t speak'.
Grammar or Lack Thereof
As you've already seen, basic l33t is just replacing vowels with numbers:
A = 4
E = 3
I = 1
O = 0
This is just part. Kids use this in text paging now days also.

L33t was a kind of code as far as i know (not a very effective one) that allowed hackers (Anyone fluent in computer code, someone who understood code in the early days of computing when there was no interface, not as most people think people who break into things to destroy, these are crackers, ive wanted to say that to someone for a few weeks now since i found out and now the end of a long bracket)
a=4
e=3
i=1
o=0
ck=x
cks=x0r
|\/| = line making up letters eg m, n
Anyone uses it such as n00b, haxor and maybe pwned (not sure bout that one, as it was made up in quake 3 not by hackers)
Anyway you come up with the same system in a maths lesson when a calculator is your only form of communication
