Why are extra characters still $3?

[Haru]

Well, SE probably knows the relation of people who paid the character fee and used them as a storage mule instead of a full-fledged alt, and came up with the current solution (extra storage service is the same 1$ you are used to from XI, while alts cost more).

I think XI players are not that familiar with the whole alt concept in my honest opinion and prefer a mule service instead.

Except at this stage addition retainers past your first will be billed at $3.

You would be cheaper to buy another character for the retainer as well as personal inventory.

All these arguments will mean nothing when they reduce the inventory back to 80 and only one retainer per character the rest will be billed. We already know they intent to put it back down.

You get two retainers for free, additional retainers past your second will be billed at $1.

But you were close, good job.

The second retainer was not included with the original release. They allowed you to have 2 for free until an undisclosed time at around patch 1.14 go back and read it. It said temporary

As before, and until the release of Version 2.0, players will be entitled to employ two Retainers at no charge.

At this stage, you get two retainers for free. Any additional retainer costs a dollar.

I don't see what the original release has to do with anything. It's 2011 now, not 2010.

You sure?

"As before, and until the release of Version 2.0, players will be entitled to employ two Retainers at no charge."

I take that as meaning that while we'll have our two retainer for free, there's also no option for purchasable retainers until at least 2.0, especially since they made no mention of the purchasable retainers at all

if you have info that indicate otherwise however, I'd love to see it, since I was really hoping to get some extra retainers :/

It sounds like no one was right? I see your point.
