Any word on inventory expansion?

[Colt47]

Just got back to playing the game again after being gone for a while, but the first thing I've ended up having to do is work on inventory clean up so I'm not paying for a third retainer every month. I know a while back there was some talk about trying to find ways to expand the inventory system, but I haven't seen anything since then and I've been absent from the forums for a while.

Q: My Armoury Chest and inventory are always full. Do you have plans to expand the amount of items we can hold?

A: Minagawa: We have begun looking into this closely to see how we can make this possible. We're discussing with Yoshida on how we can expand them without losing game performance. It will require more time, but we do expect to increase inventory space.

This, if SE wanted, they could have added couple of retainers for free, but since players are willing to rent them and SE is a company that wants to make a profit....

Its simple, if inventory spaces are not possible, give players free retainers, because we know they cant say, there is going to be a server issue, if they add more retainers.

In the meantime, you can pay SE monthly for extra retainers while they take their time figuring out how to do what many other MMOs on the market has been doing for years.

Yeah, the entire situation with inventory is why I ended up abandoning ship earlier since paying extra long term for retainers adds up to a rather not insignificant sum of money. I was hoping maybe that changed now, but it looks like I'll just have to chimney sweep and hope for the best.

The amount of total inventory space SE offers is now is actually pretty comparative with quite a few other MMOs including WoW minus the Void Bank.

They have said the primary issue is how their servers are designed. I don't know much about programing or server architecture but basically they seem to be saying the issue isn't a simple on to fix.

What they have said is they will be expanding the Armoury slots, something they have to do if they want to add more jobs.

The latest dev comment was the same as their previous comments: we're working on it.

As long as people a willing to pay for the retainers they won't add free ones :/

Very sad and disappointing to read Need more inventory space indeed.
