A plea to SquareEnix: Linkshell - Quality of life improvements and current problems.

Then they should just drop PS2.

I don't think there's a person alive who doesn't want this, unless possibly you live in japan.

I don't think it has to do with the Playstation 2 limitations, but server stress. Having Linkshells with hundreds of members on at once wouldn't be nice for SquareEnix to handle stress wise.

With the game currently as is, not as many Linkshells reach the 64 member cap as they used to, so I don't see it being as bad as a problem as it used to.

Other chat channels have no such limit, and Yell has to be pushing the servers harder than linkshell chat would. An increase of the limit by at least 100% should be within reason. I Nth this request.

Nope, just the JP forums so this "effort" is wasted.

Yes they do! Look at the other posts with all the dev posts in them.

I believe if this problem comes to their attention with enough support, we will easily get a response.

Edit: Please don't turn this into a topic bashing SquareEnix! I rather work towards a positive goal, not a negative one.

Not true... I know from the BLU forums, since JP BLU forums have essentially nothing on them. While its true most responses we see are only translations of commitments made from the JP side, since they never complain about BLU, they must also respond to our forums.

I fully support this. I think the linkshell system has been in dire need of an overhaul for a long time. I'm sure they could come up with something that would satisfy everyone & stay within the ps2 limitations. It's just a matter of them actually doing it. At the very least I think the 64 member cap needs to be raised.

I know this isn't true because I've started a couple of threads that got dev responses, one was about the gates in the eldiemei necropolis and the other was about weapons that only a single job could use. They read the posts, my guess is that sometimes they just don't have an answer.

Here's what I think happens, we post about an idea we think would be cool, the community reps look at it, (hell they may actually be part of the dev team), and take the issue to the appropriate person, and if that person says something along the lines of that's in the works then we get a response, if it's not then we don't get a reply about it until it does go into development
