Thread: 2.2 Retainers via Microtransactions

Buying extra retainers with real money was planned since 3rd beta of old XIV. The planned price was 1$ each month for each additional retainer. It only never came because of the problems XIV had after first launch. But I always wished that I can buy a third retainer.

At least, we don't need to buy extra character slots for 3$ each month anymore.

Since 1.0 to be exact. Each character slot have cost 3$ extra. Someone with 2 characters could have do 8 leves more each day than someone with only 1 character. 3$ extra for the double content.
