OK, here's the key. If you PvP, use your PvP characters as mules. Give them bags etc. to max out their storage. This gives you a dual purpose character and doesn't take a slot you may actually use to play with.

Also... learn to part with things you really don't want or need. Because something's gold doesn't mean it gets a permanent home in storage.

Get ALL your heroes. They can store not only weapons and shields, but runes and enscriptions for you. You can salvage a rune or inscription off of a hero with no risk. If you haven't bothered getting Zenmai, for example, on ALL your characters, that's a lot of weapon/shield/focus/rune/inscription storage spaces you're missing out on.

yeah, heroes have saved my bum as i'm a packrat myself.

i'm not too keen on that hat guy though, the dragon festival hat isn't the same when ya get it duplicated. :\ so, on the toons that have the original i've left em be.

i also organize.. one character for staves.. another for holiday stuff.. extra armor.. etc

what I do most of the time
I try not to break down and waste $9.99 on a mule and cry because I've got too little storage.

what I occasionally try to do on occasion
Try selling all runes/dyes that are pretty cheap for a little extra space. Go through your weapons and offhands periodically and see if there's anything you don't want or have newer/better of. If you have too many weapons, see if there are some mods you can salvage from one weapon and put on another. Try not to have too many weapons of the same type if possible (I'm bad with this one). Only keep the armor you really need (I'm bad with this one as well, my el and mes still have their starter armors).

Throw away your holiday junk if you aren't going to use it.

Try to share weapons and offhands between your PCs as you can. For instance you don't need more than one -50 offhand on your account.

Or you can be like dral and have 1 monk + infinate storage bunnies.

Mules. Most are pretty well full but I have one thats empty in case I want to use one of my level 20 mules for some reason.

rather than 1 mule i have stuff stored on all my characters, and i switch around, it depends on what I'm not really using at the time, and i try to keep my storage empty so transfer is quick.
Like right now my elementalist is filling my mule role. carrying dye, very few minipets, collectible weapons (she is carrying around the ice breaker, totem axe, red fan, and an Icy dragon sword) i like the items, don't have much real value, but i like the looks, also i usually keep an extra stack or 2 of the base materials on her, since i got a few friends to play and they'll all be wanting new armor soon.

i don't have many minipets, but keep the most in storage, that way i can run around with them in town, just run to storage guy and double click on them.
I barely save anything i get from playing, and if i ever do it wont be more than 1 or 2 in total, cause i frankly just never get anything worthwhile.

My storage layout:

-Backpack = salvage/ID kits and drops
-Belt Pouch = keys/rare drops I'm holding until I can get to a storage
-Bag 1 = crafting materials
-Bag 2 = other
-One mule character (he wasn't meant to be a mule, but I lost interest in him in the late game so he has access to most towns)
-I store items I plan to sell to players/auction in my storage account, along with some holiday items and random doodads like Tapestry Shreds

man am I scrounding for space........

now, for my heroes that use 2 handed weapons or staves, I stick a focus on them too

edit: one way I could save about 8 slots is if I could convert my reward tokens to one type. For example, instead of having 100 battle commendations, 100 inscribed secrets, 100 kournan coins, 100 luxon totems, 100 equipment requisitions, 100 monastery credits, etc etc etc, I'd have a few stacks of just one of them.

they are redundant.........

MY war gas the most stuff of all my characters, and heres how i keep my stuff organised:
Backpack: random loot, id/salvage kit.
Belt: keys, overflow
Bag1: Full of greens. top weapons, bottom shields. Yes, i farm alot.
Bag2: 5 different hems, 1 for each weapon, strenght, and tactics. the rest it my stonefists, and my non- green weapons (which i dont have much of lol )
I try to salavage as much stuff as i can while farming and doing thinkd like fow or uw. during a mission, i tend to not pick up much. if i get something like a good weapon mod, i transfer it to another emptier char.
My other characters are less full, and on my monk i usually have a full bag of weapon mods and stuff from 55ing. I have about one of each dye in my storage, followed by random holiday crap, an occasioal salvage kit, overflow for my mats storage, and candy canes. i agree, the complete storage overall is small. I remember making a mule, then starting to have fun with him. now hes lvl 20 :P. but all my characters carry their fare share.
