Q11: In regards to retainer sharing, for example, if you have one account with three characters on the same world, will we be sharing 2 retainers between 3 characters or have 6 retainers?

A11: While their inventory will be empty, the retainers will be shared.

Really? Nobody has brought this one up yet?? I really want to know wth they mean by that.

I'm a little bit disappointed for some questions asked... For example:

Quote:

Q4: Will the houses have balconies?
A4: It will differ depending on the type of house. While some will have balconies, others won’t.

I mean, housing is interesting, but there were A LOT of other questions more and more interesting, so why focus on these ones?! But who cares now... I just want to put my hand on it!!!

They mean that the retainers you create on one character will be owned by all on your service account, but they'll hold individual items for each of you.

Think of it as your retainer being a bank. You can all access it, but you'll have separate "accounts" for every character that uses it.

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense grammatically. Hopefully they'll clarify the answer soon.

Even "shared retainers, separate inventory", is still unclear. Why force the other 2 accounts to accept the name and appearance of the 1st's choice of retainers if they're completely independent otherwise? Does this limit # of auction house slots per account instead of per character? Does a retainer have limited # of inventory slots that are shared between all 3 accounts? (i.e. if 100 slots and character 1 stores 50 items, characters 2 & 3 see only 50 empty slots?)

Seems Arkham (quoted below) addressed this in the same way I was thinking about it. If the inventory is separate between them anyways, what's the point of sharing the retainer in the first place?

I'm thinking along the same lines as far as limiting how many items we can have up for auction at a time, at least if it's correct to interpret the translation as inventory not being shared. And/or to limit the amount of unique names on retainers? There's got to be some alternate reason...

Don't you find it interesting that there was no mention about Phase 3 and the PS3?

It's the Forest of Sombrelinceul...a.k.a. The Black Shroud/The Twelveswood. Showing off new areas.

Yup. The accent over the e (forêt rather than foret) makes a difference in Google Translate, and breaking up Sombrelinceul into the component sombre and linceul gives you the rest.

I think FC housing and players housing are the same thing they just have a different system.

that wouldnt be bad if you could see the items on another character u have as you could make multiple mules to use to hold gear

f; earlier looked like it was weakening
y; probably it ran out of food
f; what happens then?
y; it will go back home
f; i see

This was part of the commentary when they were showing the bird fighting with the character. I presume from this that you have to keep feeding the bird during the fight if it's a long one, or perhaps some kind of energy level which needs to
be reached before the fight starts then maintained.
It would have been interesting if they had expanded on this a little.
