I read that, at FFXI's launch, players had a larger number of slots for AH listing and that this was reduced to seven soon afterwards due to server stress.

What with the current subscriber levels being what they are, it'd be nice if we could list ten or even twenty items on a given character at the AH, presuming that nowadays it wouldn't have a significant impact on the servers.

The lower population and significantly larger number of items/activities, this and/or increasing the time that an item remains on the board would re-open the AH to listings of rarer/niche items.

It'd be great if any such expansion occurred as a result of quests, or if not that then be gated behind mission completion (eg one extra slot granted when an expansion is completed) or some other in-game achievement.

What do you think?
