Here's what I want to know. How did that "l" in this thread's title travel all the way to the end of the next word? o_O


But yeah, what we need isn't more inventory space, what we need is more off-character storage. That doesn't eat up expensive network bandwidth, only harddrive space, which is dirt cheap these days. Whenever I've seen SE asked about storage of any kind, the answer has always been that they can't because it'll increase network bandwidth, which is just wrong. If they don't want to give a third free retainer due to marketboard slots or something or having to save that many more characters, and they don't want to do anything that would take more coding, then they could just give each retainer an extra page of inventory space (100 more slots). That'd give about the same amount of inventory as a free retainer with minimal changes on their end.

And, if they don't have the server storage space for more items, they can store them in a compressed format. Let me sacrifice a retainer on an altar crafted from armoires to gain an armoire-like storage container that can hold 5x as much as a retainer, but only equipment. That would take up the same space as a retainer on disk but let me store so much more. They only ever talk about adding uncompressed storage, but who cares about that for glamour items and gear we're saving for classes that we haven't leveled yet? Or stuff that took tons of effort to get that we can't use anymore, but can't bring ourselves to hit the discard button on, like Lucis tools and Zetas?


But seriously, what's up with that "l"?
