    This sort of upgrade can cost a company alot of money, and even more if they increase the amount of items they need to store, of course it would help if they brought more information client side, im sure alot of the character data on the servers can be brought to the client.
    Oh i can understand the cost but when they release this game they had p2p in mind. What if they had so many people playing and the game was good? and they had low HDD space i mean i don't know why they would start with such cheap on a AAA MMO.

    But w/e i know it cost money to upgrade there servers and such but i hope they do all this before ps3 release. I played the game a lot at release and beta even due to all the issue knowing they could fix it and so far looking good. I looking forward too the core system/servers fix/update the most then anything that and job updates

    They will probably give us bigger bags if the game ends up producing enough revenue to warrent HDD upgrades, but right now it isnt and there isnt any indecation if, when it goes p2p, they will get the money to warrent it, it all depends on if they can turn it around.
