New Mogstation items

[Dustytome]

I'd swear there was an interview or a letter from the producer question asked regarding making mogstation items account wide and the response was something along the lines of it not being about the money, but a complication with either distributing to all characters or the amount of data it creates in doing so. I really wish I could find where that was though. I remember distinctly feeling like it was a total evasion answer because it didn't make sense to me with everything else they've done.

Edit: Found it, thought it was the pax panel but it was an interview.

Server structure is also part of the reason why items from the cash shop are per-character rather than per-account; Yoshida was quite clear that it’s not about getting more money for the same things but about the way that the game handles account-wide entitlements. Because of the limitations and the strain on the game’s database, they have to minimize those options; they would like, at the very least, to make more expensive items account-wide rather than per-character.

So it's not about the money, it's about the strain, but the strain is fine if someone spends that much money for all their characters to have it?
