Cross World Linkshell Capacity

[JellaW]

We recently had to create a new cwls for our community, since all others were already full. It's making the process of sharing information and moderating already more difficult. Even if a few people are in several cwls, they can't always be online or free to pass info between all cwls.
Those that can only be in one cwls can be left unattended and with no in-game options, *only* because the member slots are so limited.
The solution to this is easy and cannot understand why it's not fixed.

I am also checking in to request more and/or larger CWLS spaces, please! I am currently in 7 different CWLS specifically for The Hunt, and relaying information back and forth between them can take up a lot of time + lead to potential miscommunication. We would love more robust in-game options so we don't have to rely as heavily on external sources such as Discord. Thank you

Yes. And potentially an ability to see date last online to purge the filled ones would be huge.

Please add more CWLS slots and spaces

Bump on this thread, since it is still a concerning topic and I'd like people to show some support since Dawntrail is getting closer and the hype is huge Please give us a better CWLS system with more capacity and Moderation capabilities. Thank you, poms! <3

Pd: Remember to support the first post.

another bump on this thread. moderating multiple cwls is such a hassle. please make it easier to enjoy things like the hunt without having a second screen or outside-of-ffxiv communication servers at all times! more cwls slots! make it easier to know who hasn't been online since the last maintenance! please!!

Hi, I would really like more CWLS space for the community too as well as a few more moderation options

I'd also love to have expanded CWLS space (and LS, honestly). I help run at least 5 CWLS, and between the size limitations and the inability to see activity status of other players, it's an absolute headache. A lot of us have to resort to spreadsheets where we manually track player activity, but even that's unreliable (not to mention a huge headache). The demand for CWLS spaces also far outnumbers the supply, especially with DC travel in play now.

It's been so long now. It genuinely makes me sad that such a simple request can't be accommodated or at least explained.

The 64-slot limit for cross-world linkshells seems arbitrary when normal linkshells have far more.
It's very difficult to manage large communities when cross-world linkshells - our only viable option - have extremely limited space. It's incredibly frustrating as it could so easily be improved.

The Hunt community thrives on communication via CWLS.
Having so few slots is a huge barrier to this across all regions, even in less densely populated areas.

The 10-year anniversary had a huge focus on the game's growth, yet there's been no attempt to accommodate this in CWLS.
One of the best things about FFXIV is its ability to foster communities and it seems the developers appreciate this when it's mentioned elsewhere, but in practice it's barely functional.

The system is so limited that CWLS are essentially no longer fit for purpose.
Players who enjoy Hunt content are probably those who spend most time subscribed continuously between expansions/patches. These are your core players who log in every day, and we're still requesting either more CWLS slots, or some feedback as to why this isn't possible. It's very important to a large subset of your long-term subscribers.

This has a massive impact on players' ability to enjoy organised communities. Please increase CWLS slots

With data center hopping being a thing now and folks being able to join cross world shells off their main data center, we really do need to see an increase in available spots for joining cross world shells AND the amount of players in a cross world shell. The system has not been updated since its introduction in 4.3 and it could use some love.
