I was addressing an invalid comment about how more storage space would only encourage people to farm more. That is simply not true. The hardcore farmer will farm no matter what. And having more storage space won't suddenly make the people who hate farming to love it just because of more space.

I just don't think that the remote possibility of encouraging farming is a valid excuse to not give more storage space.

Reminds me of an excellent book, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie."

I loved the event, and yes, I, too, am pressed for storage space. I can only say that will be addressed, and in the meantime, I'd rather keep my Super Special Seasonal Snowman Summoners than those stinky ol' iron bits, anyway!

I loved the event too!
I must say that, considering with all the work you all have with Chapter 2, i'm impressed you pulled off an amazing event like this

And storage space, yeah MORE, please! Guild Hall storage space is a great idea! I just hope the storage spaces will be individual storage spaces, with options to share items with the guild.. just worried people will get into arguments too often otherwise.

Oh btw, i'm definitely buying Chapter 2!

Gaile, I loved this event too, but please pass on my humble and completely non-inflammatory request NOT to put the next event finale on a day when the majority of people wont be playing. In this particular case new years day would've been a much better choice than new years eve. Or perhaps extend/repeat the finale several days.

yes, since the hats and antlers were customised, i couldnt get a spare set for my best friend...

*agreeing with Numa about a 48 hour event over 2 days so everyone can attend*

i, like many folks have stuff left over from hallowen as well as the now passed wintersday
*gota say, though....looking forward to any spring/summer/autum(fall) fests you might be working on^^, i always love a game party*
so...even a 25 slot event store would be welcome, my poor ranger-girl is languishing in ascalon city with enough bagage to make here a henchman-in-training....(Nodwick reference)

i would also sugest spreading the events out to ascalon city and droknars forge when they go down...take the strain off of getting into districts on the main event nights....33 dist in english euro when i got my yule hat, and i wasnt even planning on dist-jump for more lol....

and the armour-store in guild hall, hmm....
still...hope ou guys *and everyone who made the event, too* had a great new year, cause we nuts that stayed in for Wintersday loved it

Need vs Want:

Uninstall your game because you don't NEED it. This is a GAME and it is about FUN not about necessity. If people have fun collecting quirky looking items then don’t rag on them for that. It is not all bout greed. You can’t sell your hats because they are customized to you. If you can’t understand the humor of dancing with your pumpkin hat in the middle of May in SF with 10 dudes pounding on you, you might as well move on because it sounds like you are taking this GAME too seriously.

Obviously ANet agrees if they are giving holiday storage. Is there a time line on this? I have all the holiday items and I am not running out of space, but I would like to have some extra for materials and good weapons for other people.

Wintersday was great, and I thought is was better than Holloween. BTW Just like everything the GW santa hats look SOOO much better that the WOW santa hats.

You have to be creative with storage space. One thing I did was to use my very first PvE character (who almost unlocked the complete skill set for 3 classes, by buying them when skills were cheap) as a collectables/crafting material 'mule' as well as a PvP character. All but 2 of his inventory spaces are filled, yet I can still use him to play. Waste not want not.

CRAzY KeeSTeR · Jan 05, 2006, 01:14 AM // 01:14

on the storage for guilds id say that the person who puts in an item to share with the guild would have to give word to a person boring it. the person could not take an item without their word. u could also have if an item is taken that person may not leave the guild so they can not run off with an item. and to finish i think that the person who lent out the item could have it come back to them instantly at any moment if they dont trust the person using it. any ideas or thoughts on this idea??? good bad any improvements???

The idea of having a special "collectible event items" storage space ... well, it certainly appeals to me! There's ... 20+ special event items combined between Halloween and Wintersday, and my Monk gets to cart them all around. Poor fellow is beginning to think he's a beast of burden.

A lack of storage space is certainly something we hear about a lot, so it's definitely something that the design team will spend some time thinking about.

Man I hope its more than quite possible, particularly with the expansion.
Guild storage too, great way to pass stuff around.

But even more important at least 4 [if not 6] more character slots!

Trying the combinations/getting all the unlocks, playing with others through the game, having availability for using those unlocks with PvP characters...

If there's a key for the expansion for me (and my wife's account), that's it.
Well and obviously all the fun stuff it should bring too

Seissor · Jan 05, 2006, 04:46 PM // 16:46

I had 0 space in storage before Wintersday, what followed was me giving away alot of my weapons, materials and dyes for free (as wintersday gifts)
But boo yeah for more storeage

I definitely think if they establish a similar area like the "round green area" from Halloween...it might've brought more ppl together to party.

I think Sun here may have gone to some random district where there were like 2 people hanging around. Dist 27(the original American grenth district) and the first 10 or so districts were filled wit ppl hanging around and talking.

Right now my warrior is filled wit holiday stuff and just acts as a mule. Oh well, tis the price u pay for fun :''''(

Defintely this was a great event but anet u really coulda extended the event till 3 AM for the insomniac in most of us [i saw like several hundred ppl by quick switching thru districts in la at 3 waiting for Dwayna or Grenth after they got home for New Year's Eve]
