I sign in and 3/4 of my LS are logged on but AFK and they stay that way day in and day out. They do appear in play here and there but most of the time they are not in game physically.

My mules became active when Abyssea had us getting all the various 6 million things you need to make each piece of equipment, the the stones etc to upgrade them, the 20 million glavoids, Brarius, etc drops for empy weapons, plus they hold all my sentimental gear I work so hard to get and just can't bring myself to drop them. We didn't have the inventory space we have now. I guess I could have just updated each coin, stone etc as I got them, but with several jobs I didn't know till I had them which job they would be used on, once used couldn't change our minds.
