Oh look, another Rokien thread complaining about this game being progressive in any way.

nothing is stopping you from having multiple chars. now. Nothing is wrong with multiple chars. Whats wrong is what can be done with them. It's one thing if you have to pay for em or don't have to pay for em.
HECK I even had 2 chars that I played in FFXI, so I'm not against that. The thing I'm against is what's gong to happen with inventory, retainers, everything else that can be exploited with having multiple chars.

What exactly is an inventory exploit anyway? I have upwards of 300 slots free on my retainers. My personal inventory is always full, obviously, but everyone who has full retainers is either a hoarder who needs to seek help, or is probably saving mats to craft later. Either way, their retainers shouldn't be as full as that. So I don't think the so-called exploits would ever be much of an issue. It's such a chore to leave stuff even in retainers, I cannot imagine the annoyance of somehow getting it all into your alt and then getting it back out. The inconvenience of it alone would stem "abuse".

Regarding retainers and economy, S.E. would probably restrict retainers across all characters. I can certainly see them doing that.

And with limited retainers/inventory slots, this would stem players from creating too many alts. Not to mention time!

At this point, I think you should start taking requests for your next thread topics. Left to your own devices, they're not turning out so well.

Inventory issue YoshiP is planning something for retainer system changes.

JP side also talking about how with many characters (8 per world) can lead to problems with items, retainers (8x2=16 retainers per character) gotta wait for details YoshiP going to release regarding this one to start bitching.

Thanks Reinheart, I'm happy I'm not the only one!

" I'm Rokien and I don't like how each account can have eight characters per server. I like people being restricted so that they dedicate more of their time to a single character. Why do we even need more characters in a game where we can switch classes at anytime?! I would much prefer them to keep the current system.

No I'm not a masochist nor do I feel like spending money on multiple character slots. It just makes things more like a fantasy version of the real world if we have one avatar to represent ourselves just like we only have one body in real life. We cannot log out and change our character if the current job/body doesn't suit us. We follow a path that we find interesting and suits us. Also roleplayers generally only roleplay one character until that character dies off or they start a new roleplay session.

(I heard Rokien had promised this thread was incoming so I thought I'd do it for him. He probably gets tired with all his thread making!)"
Rokien invading a server near you!
Serious note:
I hope SE doesn't over look all the exploits that can be done with 8 chars on a server. Inventory, community, retainers, etc...

Also, don't know why you guys banned Lyndis from making this thread previously, it was on topic of a "general discussion" if anything ban the people not talking about the topic itself(posting my little pony).

when captain awesome shows up on your server youll know its me, coming to troll you in game,lol.

Can you give me an example of these exploits?

I did, also reinheart said jps even agree.

You haven't posted anything beyond "there could be inventory exploits" in this thread. Can you give me specific examples of what inventory exploits are?
