    I'd buy them as needed, yes... Right off the bat I'd probably only get 2 or 3, but I'm sure I'd work my way up to the max amount eventually.

    Muling right now sucks really bad, because there's no mailbox, there's lag on the inventory screen, and well, there's no mailbox... Plus with events that give you like 10 rare/ex swimsuits, yeah... Gonna need a bigger boat ASAP.

    I think the max of 2 retainers tending the wards at a time is a good idea though. We don't need it clogged down to bejebus with like 8 retainers per person... It'd be crippling even now, but just imagine after the game relaunches and gets a bunch more people playing. It'd just be stupid. It's already over crowded with 2 retainers per person and a limited total population.

    Anyway yeah, I'd buy more retainers in a heartbeat.

    I'd pay $1 or $2 per retainer. I'd buy no more than 2 extra (for a total of 4 retainers)

    I'd pay for an AH thankyouverymuch. Managing one retainer is already too much trouble to ever be worth it. Having that doubled AND to pay money for it is ridiculous.

    I would not pay for extra retainers YET now if the game gets good enough to pay a subscription for, maybe id purchase an extra retainer or two.

    I have 8 crafts at 50. All I did was watch T.V. and spam standard for easy mode synths. Enjoy leveling those crafts in 1.19 and beyond everyone!

    The concept of paying for extra retainers is already implemented in the game's payment and account system.

    Downside is that we can't USE it yet since we aren't paying...

    Remember when they gave us the 2nd retainer? That was a response along the lines of "Oh bugga they can't actually order them yet can they... let's do a patch-job!"

    Once the games gets to the point where people can pay for it then the original design is enough imo.
    But i think a lot of it depends what they intend to do around housing/storage/Market wards/AH an such so, guess we will have to see what they plan really.

    Personally I would like to see a 3rd retainer added as a temp measure until we get player housing, then have 3rd retainer removed and the items placed into the house.
    Though a limit on no more then 2 retainers at work in any one city needs adding along with that for now lol.

    they are listed as $1 but im suggesting they charge $3 while the game is still free to play in order to make -some- money until the ps3 is released and they start charging.
