Please, can we get to know when Hamlet Defense making return? Like said before, there's no plan of this content being discontinued back in 1.0 announcement days. And this question being asked alot since ARR went live.

Server limitations has been the bottleneck for several problems from position updating to number of housing wards and auto-exit of FC housing among others. Will the servers be improved in the near future to handle these issues and future issues?

[Aniteku]

Can you give us any info about new playable race character?

[Anakinn]

Are there any plans to make the game more open world? Some invisible walls are here for no reason (like you can't jump over small hole , you must go all the way around it.... )not to mention that swimming is too hard for adventurers that can fight primals on daili baissis.
I know "instance world" is so that there will be smalles latency but it would be nice to open it completly at some point, maybe around expansion when new locations will be added.

[Anakinn]

Are there any plans for blue mage any time soon? like in 3.0

[Koohii]

In A Realm Reborn art book there is concept art of a fishing offhand, would we by any chance see a fishing offhand added to the game?

After reading the questions from the boards, and the answers in the last few letters, I have a request of the Dev Team about player storage:

Has the Dev Team ever considered moving the storage or Retainers, Armory Chests, and Personal Inventories to the users base system?

This would allow for the Dev Team to isolate storage from the player so we don't get an Everquest style of selling items via Ebay, and also allow for expanding the needs of FC storage via the Community Chest.

With the expansion of Player Housing (eventually) the Dev Team could add a "Vault" or "Store Room" or Closet (House size determined)

Also, since Chocobo's (and hopefully future companions) are accessible during gathering and crafting, they could have a "Pack" for additional items storage.

I would willing give 1 to 2 GB of space on my PC and my PS3 for this added feature to the gameplay experience.

Please speak on this and let us know if you and the Dev Team have even considered this option.

1 - Lore related information stored on the players based system

2 - Gathering and crafting logs

[lokinmodar]

- Are you considering adjusting Hunt Mobs just like you did with Odin(incremental HP based upon last number of ppl killing it and Priority drawing)?
- We need more shard sources (3 per swing is too low)
- Are you planning a Mark log or something like that?
- What is the plans on Horizontal progression?
- Will we see a Machinist-type class?

To the Dev Team I have the following requests:

1. Please bar players from using the Marketboards as additional storage space for their stuff with constantly pricing items out of reach of a majority of the players. This may be server specific, but 10K per item that when collected get a 2 gil payback is totally crazy.

2. When will you be adding a sort feature for quantities and price to the marketboards. This would allow us, the players, to be able to check the lists easier than scrolling everything on them.

Please let us know.
