I miss hireling messages

Will we ever see new hireling messages? Some of the most memorable, diverse, and fun characters in the game for me were hirelings.
I really enjoyed logging in every day to read them--and I know I'm not the only one--but there haven't been any updates in years, if I'm not mistaken. The bits of story always made up for any crummy RNG on materials. I remember hunting all over a number of fansites to see the text of a mail I accidentally deleted before reading it because I didn't want to miss a piece of the story.
It would also be nice if the existing (and future?
) hireling messages were compiled into a Lore Book or an entry in Shalidor's Eidetic Memory library.

✭✭✭✭You are not mistaken; I stopped playing before Greymoor and came back about the time of Deadlands and there were no new messages on my return; that was a little less than two years.
If it helps UESP has a pretty good archive.#proud2BAStarObsessedLoony

✭✭✭I don't miss them. Another advantage of addons on the PC is removing the need to even view those.
Interesting for the first time, but not after that.PC

Fizzyapple✭✭✭It would be great if they extended the stories into some full blown character development with plots etc. Maybe even connect them to a quest down the road. I love reading the lore books I find and some of the writing is really good imo. I love some of the poems too. An entire novel laid out overtime through hireling messages would be fantastic.
I know its a bit much and that they need to put their resources elsewhere but one can hope.1 -

✭✭I haven't used hirelings in ages but I loved these too, and was sad when they stopped. It has been a few years.0 -
Erebear✭Am I missing something or did something change? I get them every day!?!?
The wife has a message from Zukki that is the same everyday, but she gets all the other ones as well.0 -
SczymyxSoul ShrivenI'm 100% with you on this. I took a year and a half break from playing and when I came back a few weeks ago, the emails were still the final ones for each mat. I'd hoped that after 2 full expansions, there would be new hireling messages.
I bet there are enough creative fans that Bethesda could hold a contest and end-up with a library of stories, long and short, for each role.0
