Yeah I have had this problem on Lindblum for a while now where I haven't been able to summon my second retainer in the wards just to swap things over. I have to run back the Adv. Guild to summon it get what I want then run back to the wards and put it on the retainer I have managed to keep in the wards.
I just priced something at 999,999,999 just to make sure my retainer will never leave for fear of not being able to summon it again in any of the wards. I know this doesn't help the problem but I feel it is the only thing i can do to ensure I can sell my wares.
On the flip side if my item does sell for 999,999,999 then who cares I'm rich and don't need to sell anything anymore :p
This is a big problem, if the servers crash when they allow more retainers that won't help. So they limit the amount and then even with a low population you still can't get a retainer in that is another problem. I dread to think what will happen if they can't fix this and PS3 release brings in a huge influx of new players, it will be a nightmare.
The only fix for now is to spread the population out between all cities so everyone is not concentrated in Ul'dah, so they better give us some good reasons to venture to them to make them viable markets.
