Aside from the convenience factor of the extra pane in storage, I'd see myself buying a character slot with more storage than a pane and plus I'd get mini pets once a year too.

Free equipment slot and a special promotion pane, not too shabby though.

Looking forward to more details on the promotion and the Zaishen content.

yeah I second /lol at the pet unlock pack, and people have correctly stated that the $10 storage tabs <<<< discounted retailer gw boxes

even without them, the free pack and storage tab with weapon/armor boxes (or w/e) will render them largely moot

I'm excited to see what the dialy Zaishen quests are, pitting you against bosses...wonder how that works.

Don't know what the $9.99 will translate to for UK pounds, but it's £5.99 per character slot.

1 character gives 45 storage slots, each tab in the Xunlai chest gives 20 - that's 2.25 times bigger.

/agree

Athough... you would still have to toon hop to get the stuff you need... AND you would have to work on getting bags and pouches for the mules... but in the end... you would be saving "real" money.

^speaking of hom... no details? or no update?

O LAWD is dat pet stables?!

slowerpoke · Apr 10, 2009, 10:43 PM // 22:43

equipment pack sounds like a bag that only holds weapons or armor

and a slot added to each char to be able to use them

does that mean theres only 1 per char?

how many slots do these new bags have?

If you're pushing for storage space, odds are you have the 2k necessary to buy Bags, storage runes and a belt.

Carboplatin · Apr 10, 2009, 10:45 PM // 22:45

the zquest idea sounds cool! what are the rewards for the quests??

the equipment bag is one for each toon, which mean to me it'll free up at least 4-10 spaces for each character, that is assuming you have 2 sets of armor plus a few weapons.

I can see that easily freeing up 50 spaces combined for people with lots of characters.

-the extra tabs are for those with serious storage problems, then yeah you probably have to pay.

are you sure?

I'm sure it's not easy, simply because HoM is just based on unlocking - 1 bit of data per whole armor set. How to use 1 bit of data to store whole armor? Not easy, would require a significant rework and would only store a clean empty (unmodded, undyed) set of armor.
Ofcourse that would be a storage improvement aswell, for those who want all the sets in HoM, got no space to keep them but don't want to unlock and then trash.

The Zaishen Challege Quests sound amusing as well. If anything, they will have people switching it up and doing different things.

Exactly... Not to mention the fact if you make a Mule in Factions you would get the Monestary Credits, to get the bags for no cost at all anyways

More storage tabs on your main account is more effective... perhaps.

Buying a new account with 4 character/mule slots and free zaishen keys with the Xunlai Tournament House sounds better. Like Gaile, I too can use GWx2, it's not forbidden.

I'm curious about the Zaishen Challanges and it's rewards. I hope it gives us another way to obtain Zaishen Keys. Then it would truly be a PvX-title.

Probably not, but still this all does look pretty cool.

Cool stuff, free space and new content ftw =DDDDDDD

Wow. If this all works as good as it sounds, ANet +1.

I imagine there will be other ways to get it down the road, but either way I won't complain for getting one of them for free.

Its looks promising indeed. Good work Linsey and team! One great thing is Linsey always delivered on promises, hence, she is supercool in my books. Thank you Linsey! Looking forward to Zaishen Challenges...hope the rewards match the efforts!!
