Account wide item limitations are no longer an issue?

[worldofneil]

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback on the thread, but I don't think I explained very well what I meant.

I wasn't so much concerned with the technical reasons behind account wide item limitations, but simply are there still limitations or not?

SE told us that does to account wide item limitations that had switched the minions with Eorzean Symphony and the Artbook to single character only. However since then they've bought out 4 mounts that are account wide, suggesting these previously mentioned limitations are no longer in effect.

Will future in-game item codes therefore be going back to account wide? (and will those two items also be changed to account wide?)

It almost certainly just means that they decided to allocate the remaining account space to mounts they were going to sell on the MogStation (and of those included in really expensive merchandise like figures), rather than to pack-in extras they were going to include with other merchandise like books and CDs. I doubt very much that they addressed the limitation, sadly. They way they phrased it, it wasn't that they were at a hard stop, but that they were "rationing" the remaining space.

FWIW, I definitely think that codes included with all merchandise (including books/CDs/etc.) should be account-bound.
