Fujito: Item Delivery Updates
Hello.
Q: When these features are introduced on the test server, will you get an immediate response when confirming the person to whom you are sending items? If you just want to deliver to yourself, do you just confirm that you want to receive?
A: All we are doing is increasing the number of locations from which you can deliver items normally. For testing purposes, try sending something from your Mog House to yourself and check how it is received.
Q: Since you are updating delivery stuff, will the items that I have not yet received remain safe? I just want to make sure I can retain these items without any issues.
A: Items that you have not yet removed from delivery will be retained, so you can have peace of mind that your items will not be destroyed by the addition of the new delivery function.
Q: Please get rid of the 30 second restriction on item delivery!
A: Unlike item bag storage which takes only about half the time to record, for deliveries, we need to allow time for server-to-server communication of data, so we established 30 seconds as the right amount of time for this.
That said, because we should be able to shorten this somewhat, we plan to reduce this to 15 seconds and monitor the data for that situation. If any problems occur, we will go back to the original restriction and let you know. This setting will be reflected in the next test server update.
Q: Without increasing the upper limit on inventory, I cannot have all of my equipment available at once. Is it not possible to exceed the current maximum of 80?
A: Since the data retention specifications were developed based on legacy machines, the maximum upper limit of 80 is a limit which will be very difficult to exceed on both the server and client ends. Although the performance of both the servers and clients have continued to increase, the limit on the specification was originally set at that level.
In order to expand the limit, we would have to very carefully proceed with manipulating the program which has been the same since the beginning of FFXI service. There would be a level of risk with this kind of update that we would corrupt user data during the operation. Additionally, it would take a considerable amount of time to perform the necessary maintenance work. Honestly, it will be better to just add another bag instead of attempting this.
Long story short, while we could attempt to make this change, we do not plan to do so.
