I am so bitterly pessimistic that I'm just glad to hear that increased storage accessibility is still in the plans.

At the same time, the time apparently needed to make a simple change like this makes me almost feel bad for the current Development Team. I can only imagine that FFXI's code requires Satanic arts most foul and the leavings of a baby Godzilla to actually add something new, if a change of this caliber is something that must be scheduled. The amount of disemboweled cats and burned Godzilla poop that pile up as the expansion is developed must be staggering...and smelly.
