Housing: Raise the Item Limit

[Issaella]

Outside is probably not seeing an increase due to the number of items people have to load whenever they enter a housing area. I think they said it was approaching the upper limit of what the engine can handle (who knows it that's true or not). There really isn't that kind of limit indoors so I would think an increase there would be more likely.

IMO apartments really could use the increase, they are about 3/5 the size of a small plot, but only get half the item limit. Proportionally they should have at least a limit of 120.

As time goes on this will get easier. They have increased server upgrades to make servers stronger already, so I think it could be possible.

For the outside item limit it's not a server issue. It's a rendering issue. The client has to render every single item in the entire housing zone. So if you were to increase the outdoor item limit even by a small amount it would dramatically increase the total number of items the client has to render. That is the problem, or so they say.

I think 2 things they could do to at least help out with the limit: 1) Remove the aetheryte node requirement to teleport to your house. Requiring it for houses is completely arbitrary, because it's not required to teleport to apartments. It unlocks as soon as you buy one. 2) Make the mailbox part of the Placard/Outdoor design system instead of a placed item. Those 2 QoL changes alone would free up 2 outdoor slots for people to place.
