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:

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?)
