Would it be possible to institute a workaround using interactive items that have no use?

Most zones have at least one oddball spot (such as a tree or other formation) that will give a 'too far away to interact' message when clicked, and when in range, have no effect. Maybe they could be re-worked and relocated into a functional Messasge Board, if creating the objects is the issue.
The issue is the clicktype and opcode was removed from the client itself, so the client doesn't know wtf to do when it clicks on the object. Post 2003 packet collects reveal the clicktype of messageboards shows up as 0x00, which means "it's a door, make it a door from an object" which would have no effect when you click it.

What we could do is check if you are in a proximity near the messageboard, and use typed client commands to make that work. Either that, or, the mail system is another option.
