[dev1019] Why not increase the number of retainers or storage/sale space?

[Azurymber]

I thought SE intended to have like 6+ retainers at some point regardless? Weren't they going to charge $2 a month for them?

Point is, they would bring more to the game right now with a low population and empty wards, than they would later when there are more players.

And this topic isn't redundant because its about increasing product diversification and not about increasing storage size for the sake of holding more goods.

That's exactly it: They're going to charge for extras beyond the initial two per character. Not everybody is going to be willing to pay the premium for extra storage space, especially if they're going with multiple characters already once they start charging.

exactly, so you'd avoid the problems kuku came up with, but would still get the benefits i mentioned. Plus the $2 fee would be an incentive for players to maximize the use of their retainers (ex. have items priced to sell instead of one overprices item for 3 weeks)

Also, this is a snowflake. you should have done some searching through the system menu's, or actually read back more than one page to see if there are other topics about storage space, and post your ideas there. At this exact moment, about 5 posts down, there is an exact thread about storage space. By the post count, it is older than this one too. Case closed.

Do you people actually read the post? or just the title?
This thread has almost nothing to do with storage space. Its an economic solution to solving the problems of -retainers- being concentrated in one city and only selling certain "hot" materials. Its also a solution to spreading the diminishing population out over the three cities as opposed to the current 1-city-hotspot that has developed on most servers. Storage space is essentially irrelevant to the entire argument in this thread.

edit: btw when you make the comment "I think it's a little greedy to just say, I want more storage space. You have a total of 300 right now." it just tells me you didn't bother to read anything in the post since i'm arguing for a retainer increase for the economy, and nowhere do i argue for increased storage space out of greed.
