I didn't want to necro-bump the topic from 11 months ago.

We are planning to make various adjustments, such as number of items and item listing period, after following the progress of auction house merger.

So, Gildrein or any other community Rep - The auction house merge is complete - When are we getting this adjustment?

They were not talking about how many items you could list at one time but how much of certain items you could list. I think they said it isn't possible for them to allow us to list more then 7 items at a time.

They tried to boost it up to 8 once upon a time and the auction house practically crashed. They had to return it to 7. Now that the game numbers have severely reduced it might be possible to lift the cap, but I'm not a programmer so I don't know. :/

But they did at least try it once upon a time, if I recall correctly.

Like I'd quoted from the Community Rep, they are planning to adjust the number of items we can list as well as the duration of those listings. I'm just hoping for a time-line from them for when we can expect this to be implemented.

I'd love to be able to list at least 20 items on a character so I don't have to mail numerous mules items each time I craft with my cooking mule. I'm sure others who craft would appreciate the additional slots. I get tired of shuffling items across mules just to list popular items.

They already did it. It was in the last update I think.

I'd love to have more spots to list things on the AH, and I'm not demanding SE tell us they're doing it, I just want to know if they have tried to raise the number, if they think they can, if they know they can, or when they plan to figure out if they can.

Greetings!

By increasing the number of items by even 1, this would apply to every character in the game which would cause a spike in server lag. Rest assured that the development team is looking into this, but they would like to proceed carefully.

o.o; Necrobumping like crazy today, Camate!

Historically the item limit was 8 (it was reduced to 7 in the July 2002 update - see http://jpbutton.bluegartr.com/?p=157). Why would this be a problem now?

Sounds like "suck it up and like 7"
