storage space >> bags / banks / chests / shared bank...

[Mithni]

Hey there,
When I was still active, I always had a storage problem (being crafter and diplomat on - almost - all of my toons). All of my banks were filled completely, at least on the important toons (gear, augs, ressources...), my house chests have been filled with crafter stuff (dusts, rare materials...), my bags were filled with gear, mounts, clickies, quest items, collectibles.... and so on and so on.

It made me create 3 accounts to have 3 houses and more bank space. Well you won't earn money by getting people to have more than one account so might be an idea to increase the number of slots of banks, bags and chests. And maybe have a shared bank... it always was a pain, if you wanted to give stuff to an alt, you had to send it by mail, if the char was on the same account (or trade it to yourself on another account and then back to the char you wanted, but not all people had that possibility).

Would also be nice to have chests on ships (but said that already in the "Borestones / Flying Mounts / Ships" thread )

greetings, Mith

(...and don't call me messie, my stuff was always sorted, dusts even alphabetically )

They change a few things regarding houses in the end that increased storage space quite a bit.
Each account can have 2 houses, compared to 1 before.
Each T5 house can have 10 chests, compared to 5 before.
Biggest chest have 100 slots, compared to 40 before. That's the tradable chests given out just before free-to-play.

We can look into this once we start looking at banks, but if the UI is any indication of size, we may not be able to increase Banks.

If bags/boxes are anything like EQ2 bags and boxes, we can set the # of slots, though again I am not sure yet with VG data. Xinux may know.

Well, I stopped playing in 'Nov 12, so didn't know that. Must have been other chests than the crafted ones though, as I had a look into some of my chests on doomsday and they still had 40 slots... would be nice if the crafted ones would have some more slots as well.

... and wait: "given out"? claimable or how were they given out? If somehow for free would have been another facepalm towards crafters and another silly move of SOE (thinking of some big bags they had in their store), same as with the lvl1 tradeable mounts, when they had a lot of flying mounts in their store =P

and btw: I remember there has been planned to insert so called "Veteran lockboxes", another bank chest for players that have been playing before f2p. They have been placed (but not usable) in the banks in the capital cities for a short period, but taken out after a while, and every time I logged on since 'Nov 12 there weren't any lockboxes. Might be able to restore them though...

Yes, it was one of the things they did to make crafters useless for everything but PotA gear, 50+ abilities, and augs.
Every toon could get one of those chests just by talking to an NPC during a few weeks time.

bleh...

its ok Mithni, its all in the past now =) look forward!

And man alive did they ever trash crafting in VG, but when you switch to cash shop system gotta have a reason to spend RL money in the store.

ah well. On the note of banks, was I the only one who loved the idea of each continent having its own bank and market? It was great from an immersion standpoint, probably not so much from a convenience one tho (Yes I suppose I'm coming across as a bit of a masochist =)

I'm angry as they didn't only trash crafting, they trashed the whole game even a long time before doomsday

oh well, right, always look on the bright side of (new) life in new telon

If you have a well populated server with tenthousands of players and wouldn't have rifts, yes sure, go for it, otherwise, omg no

[ArtofWar]

I know I know, healthy pops add the ability to implement the "Old Ways", but still loved that immersion. And Smile Mithni, we DO have New Telon, with a lot of the faces from Old Telon

Oh those freebie chests were worse than what it seems too. They had the most space of any chest (I can't recall how many exactly but they were massive) and any character could get one. For all my houses and guild halls, I made a new toon, got a chest, put the chest in my house, deleted the toon, remade the toon, rinse and repeat. You could get as many chests as you wanted doing it that way. So really in a way it was unlimited. After they got rid of the NPC that gave it out, people started putting them up for sale.

I think just allowing more chests per house would be nice, if that's possible.

Edit: Just thinking about this, it would be nice if we could equip harvest bags separate from our main bags too, like on the harvest window in the same manner that you have your crafting and diplo storage containers.
