Cross World Linkshell Capacity

[Sundae]

Once again following up on this thread in a long time regarding the member count of a CWL, a bump in the amount of members in a CWL would be wonderful. There is no given explanation as to why /fc communication is set to 512, why a linkshell can only have up to 128, and why cross-world linkshells can only have up to 64. The parameters limiting access to communication in-game is surprising, given this is an MMO... sadly to become a single-player MMO, from what other forum members have shared here.


Is it just to befall the social norms of an MMO and require third-party use of tools and programs such as Discord or Teamspeak for communication means? Or might the suggestion of maintaining social communication in-game always stay a lower priority? In-game communication would draw more to stay online and enjoy their valuable time more than one would believe, especially if they can hear their fellow friends and raid-members in a voice stream that they must first opt-in to each time; I believe that would also be a good solution alongside the increase the CWL member list, to ensure longevity of this game's realm.

I have recently started a cross-world community in-game and we are running into this limitation. It is so hard especially when you can't see when members have last logged in, etc. with the CWLS menu. We are working on some ideas in Discord currently, so we use that, but really want to keep the in-game chat as an option too. Thanks!

Bumping this thread cos with the new CWLS change, the need for more CWLS space is gonna be more evident. Eight CWLSes that only allow 64 ppl each to be shared across 32 worlds is gonna feel even more limited. My friends who DC hop a lot are part of communities with communication via linkshells and they they're not happy about having to leave some of those communities due to the new changes. And they can't try to merge the CWLSes since the ones they have are already full or near full. With these new changes, I think it's also time to consider capacity changes.
