Rokien's new thread on multiple character slots

[Arkine]

Are retainers even gonna be in 2.0? I thought they would change to something less scamy, like they want to do with the characters.

If i remember right, they are going to have retainers level up and what not. So yes they are going to be in 2.0 but going to play a bigger role than just a storage.

I know when the game launched they had delusional ideas of retainers leveling up and being more important but that went nowhere.

I just don't see the point in keeping them (other than the original idea "give them storage mules instead of actual characters because we don't have a mail system") if we're going to have houses (with storage I assume) and an AH that should on paper not need retainers to function.

Ahh crap didn't check the dates totally bumped a old thread.

I was surprised it wasn't Rokien who bumped it lol, but yeah, when the extra chars become free the only way I see it being done is shared retainers, although U/U items might be a problem.

although U/U items might be a problem.

I don't see any issues arising sharing U/U items between your own characters (Although you may be right in the case of quested gear they may need to add a extra tag to items to bind them to a character)

or perhaps certain items preform a check on your quest list not allowing you to hold them until you are finished said quest.

Yeah, giving your alt that doesn't have all 50's your Paragon's Crown and stuff is what I meant.

8 chars per server hardly answers the question of friends and LS mates staying together...

i..just...don't understand it...its as if your answering with a line that can lead you into complaining about something you don't like.

I shoulda known he ALREADY had a thread about it....
It really doesn't matter. Let Alt lovers love it, if your not into it, ignore it.
People will use Mules one way or another. This hardly needed a thread, nevermind a "NEW" thread.

And for heavens sake stow your ego and stop putting your name on the subject. Let your point stand on its merits and let a debate begin.

It's not about ego, as you can see the whole thing is quoted, my friend created this thread originally but she got banned for imposing as me. So, I re created it. It's a inside joke thing now for me.

Ok, say you want a friend to join the game when 2.0 comes out BUT the server is filled because of all the alts. It will effect everyone.

This is a non-issue.

The amount of characters someone has on one server has no effect on the active population because you can only log in as one of them at a time...

[Mirage]

Preventing people from creating alts is probably the dumbest idea I've ever read on this forum. Charging extra letting you play with a different group of friends was a pretty dick move in FF11, and I was apalled when I saw FF14 raising this extra cost to three times more than it was in 11. I was thoroughly pleased to see the planned subscription models for 2.0.

It will no doubt encourage me to play level more characters on the same world, and also on additional worlds to play with a bigger array of friends. This will most likely keep me playing FF14 for a longer time than if I just got one character included in the subscription fee. And as said earlier, it doesnt' lead to server overpopulation because you can still only be logged in to one character at a time per account.
