    Increase Membership limits per Cross World Linkshell

    Title^

    We have been at 8 cwls slots since Shadowbringers drop over two years ago now, but each one is limited to only 64 members. It would be so much better for coordination in a variety of areas (rp, raid, hunting) if the limit was increased to 128 like regular ls. Heck, I'd even take a dozen+ members per cwl at this rate because the ones I'm in keep hitting max membership.

    Editing to add my most recent epiphany;

So having larger capacity for linkshells should definitely be feasible if they tinker around with it enough.

    free double post to bump, but to elaborate more on the hunting side specifically;

    Anyone in a large hunting network have their cwls look like this;


    and that's not even an endwalker s rank

    The more people one tries to accommodate when hunting (be it for s ranks, or a ranks) end up having their chat spammed more and more because man rely on macros to relay reliable across the board to get all the cwls their informed. Or having to copy paste coordination efforts (asking multiple train cwls who is going next, etc) to make sure information is spread properly because a cwl couldn't fit everyone.

    Please. T_T

    Bumping again in light of the liveletter;

    With the ability to add people from data centers to cwls come 6.18/6.2, I think it more important than ever that they be expanded to hold more members!

    CWLSs being capped at half the member limit of normal linkshells feels extremely strict. I run into this both for S rank spawning and with Aether's Baldesian Arsenal community and it makes it actively harder for us to be as inclusive as we want to be.

    World travel has pushed us towards having the whole data-center act as a single community, but the teeny tiny capacity on CWLSs is a direct and frustrating impediment to this

    The member limits in this game always seemed so backwards. If anything FC's should have the lowest max number and CWL's should have the highest limit. Obviously it would be nice if everything had a like 1,000 limit but I think 300-500 on local LS's and 300-1000 on CWL would be enough for most LS's.

    Ya, the fact that so many communities had to move to discord is very telling on how limited in game communication is in this game. An large increase in size across the board is severely needed.

    I'm inclined to believe it's not intentional, and merely a temporary limitation as SE works on upgrading the back end


    Still, it's good to raise awareness on the issue and how much a resolution would be appreciated

    We literally have zero size increases since LS's came out. How long do you consider temporary? lol

    14's development is very busy
    It's likely simply not a priority

    Also that isn't quite true
    Initially players were only allowed to join one CWLS
