Expansion of Duties Permit (retainers) requests

I think the Expansion of Duties Permit is very outdated and limited, and it needs an upgrade. Here are some of my requests:

• Expansion of Duties Permit for interior: right now we can only place retainers outdoors, so I'd like to place them inside our house/apartment too. We can already place NPC Housing Merchants on interiors, and I'd rather have my customized retainer in my house than a random NPC.
  
  
• Expand limit to 2 retainers for S houses: every account has access to 2 free retainers, but S houses are limited to only 1 Expansion of Duties Permit, and I think it's very unfair. Everyone should be able to place their 2 retainers regardless of house size. Expanding the limit for S size to 2 permits would be ideal, then M to 3 and L to 4.
  
  
• Poses and expressions update: right now we can choose between 6 poses, but all of them look very stiff and serious. I'd love more casual and relaxed poses to be added, like the default idle poses, or ideally choosing emotes from our own collection. Expressions need to be added as an option too, right now the only 2 expressions are fixed and look very unfriendly, poses 1 to 5 have a default straight face which in some races can look very deadpan, and pose 6 has an annoyed frown. I'd really appreciate to be able to make our retainers look more expressive and lively!
  
  
• Sitting pose: related to the point above, I'd also love to be able to sit my retainer on my furniture. An extra sitting pose with a fixed chair would be ok too.
  
  
• Umbrellas: I don't like leaving my beloved retainers soaking under the rain! I want them to have umbrellas, be it like a Fashion Accessory or as an extra pose.

Let us also allow our retainers to utilize the /visor option as well, I have some glams I want /visor being toggled on or off for my retainers.


All my retainers outside my yards are under the roof of my homes to keep them dry lol.

+1 to all of this, but especially the indoor placement and different expressions/poses! I hate that I can only put mine outside, and he always looks so mad about it! lol

very good ideas i would like them too and also i want them to add retainers to our island sanctuary too! our island looks so empty and lonely with just soul less mammets walking about let our retainers enjoy a vacation too!

Can I give my retainers their own custom dialog?

+1! I also placed mine under a roof because I felt bad seeing her just standing there in the cold and under the snow... gave her a little roof and a lamp so she's also not in the dark at night.


I'd love to be able to customize their name and give them a title too, since right now retainers show up as their owner's name instead of the retainer's name.

All of this! Please!! =^_^=

Couldn't agree more. We're encouraged to spend time (and literal money) customizing our retainer's appearance and glamour, but then are barely allowed to show them off. I wanna see the cool designs and memes people make, and display my own.

I want to be able to select where my retainer can stand on the interior, a small custom dialogue. And the ability to have it cycle through one of its placement points randomly as I leave and come into the house, So it feels lived in.
