Ask! I just wrote a long response about my experience with 200 items & it erased itself!!!! (Cranky face icon)
Ok let’s try this again. I did an art with 200 items to help out with testing how it works. I did run into a few issues. I have a W8 laptop & was using Chrome as I think I remember that I read in the past that it was more stable with PnF. I have included as much detail as I can since I don’t know what is pertinent & what isn’t so if it’s too long I apologize & if you want more info or have questions please let me know.
I was doing fine until I got to 141 items (59 left on system counter) then I needed to save (#24/27 in my arts) my art & go get some more items from the mall.
When I reopened to edit after shopping I ran into a couple of issues:
1 it would not load items from the search tray to the edit tray.
2 when I attempted to move some items that were already in the art, it started moving whole bunches of items! I don’t know if I somehow selected multiple items but I did not know that that was possible in the editor & I couldn’t make it stop!
So I saved (#25/27) that also.
& I closed everything down & rebooted my system thinking that it might be a system memory issue.
When I reopened I only opened PnF in Chrome & tried again but both problems persisted so I tried opening it in IE which is the browser I use most often.
I was able to get the items to load from the search tray to the system tray & place 200 items in my art (#27/27), but didn’t do as much moving of items as I might have liked as I was running out of time before I had to take my therapy dog to listen to kids read & I was afraid of messing it up again.
I don’t know if the issues I experienced were PnF related, system limitations or user ineptitude, but hope this is somewhat helpful…let me know if you need any more info.
In answer to your other questions: I doubt that I would use more than 100 items often (if ever) as I don’t usually use anywhere near 100. I tend to make more story related arts than the kind of artistic masterpieces that some people do.
I do think that it is good for 200 items to be a premium opportunity. I would be happy for it to be for subscribers, but I do think that making the chance to use it occasionally available for non-subscribers for GMs would be really nice. (as an aside: theoretically I think that the essentials to “play” should be available at no cost so that anyone can join & enjoy without cost but there need to be things that reward those who can & do support the game financially. It is nice if there are also ways to work & trade so those who can’t pay can earn at least some of the premium items though work within the game).
