SE - Default 3rd Retainer before Fees

[Felis]

Free? Wait a minute, why am I paying $10/month then? If this is a microtransaction free game then I am spending $10 monthly for nothing!

To have access to the game servers.

- Armoury doesn't provide enough slots. DL gear could easily be used for two jobs, Myth gear is for a single job so for example for a BLM and a Conjuror, you need the equip 2 times although they share stats.

Just throw them away once you have better equip that can wear more than 1 class/job (like crafted ilevel 90 gear) and don't want it for vanity. If you want it later again, they are still obtainable.

Another thing from the forum archives

I receive a lot of suggestions to increase inventory space or make inventory unlimited, but it is impossible to possess every single item (which is increasing constantly through updates) on a single character. Please understand that this is physically impossible, because there is a cost related limit to server storage (the location where everybody’s character data is stored). In order to increase stored data, (tens of thousands of characters x numbers of items x bytes of each item) there is no other option but to increase hard drive size. Basically, charging fees for additional storage options exists to combat this issue.

Even for stand-alone package games, the size of the save data is greatly affected by the number of items, so the numbers of items and the size of each item are determined by available server space.

Even if it was more about the recipe revamps.
