Hey everyone,

I noticed that everyone ( including me ) is complaining that they dont have enough storage space, well here is a possible solution...

Well I got the idea that if you could put items in a bag ( like the ones you use to increase your inventory space ) and then put the bag in your storage, you could increase your storage capacity times 10 ( one slot in storage holds a bag that can hold 10 items, bag + expansion rune ). Now you can only put a bag in your inventory or xunlai chest if the bag is empty.

I don't think this would be too hard to code for arenanet, and in this way people have tons more storage space

, because now I see people selling some of their favorite weapons, simply because they don't have the room to store them.

Another suggestion perhaps is that you could add tags to these bags, in order not to mix them up, and making searching for an item easier. For example, the bags you put your shields in, you give the tag "shields", etc...

This has already been done in tons of other RPG's and thus its not something impossible to do.

Anyway this is a relatively easy/simple solution to the storage problem that many players ( including me ) encounter, and in this way the use of so called "storage mules" is no longer needed, or at least not as much as it used to...

So, what do you guys think? Discuss

Don't know if this idea had already been mentioned, but this seems like a decent option?

@ Panais, yeah 10 items, my mistake

Filled bags in inventory worked for other great RPG's, should work for gw too I guess.

/signed - i doubt they will do it though, as they have already increased storage once, and put in the mats section.

It's been suggested before several times, even before the storage upgrade that they did implement. So I'm fairly confident that it's not gonna happen.

So. When you run low on storage space, do what I'll be doing in about 5 minutes: Set up shop in Kamadan and sell off your junk!

Would be really good to have more storage space

Whisper01 · Jun 15, 2008, 12:43 PM // 12:43

or we should get 1 storage slot for each character slot

I want a bag of swords!

Shayne Hawke · Jun 15, 2008, 01:54 PM // 13:54

/signed. Great way to increase space. Even better would be to be able to double-click the bag while it's in storage to see everything that's inside while the storage tab is still open.

I need more storage space..even if its an upgrade we'd have to pay for.

thesupersaver · Jun 15, 2008, 02:32 PM // 14:32

/signed While I would love tons more storage like this, I think the reason we have limited storage is too control the economy or something, or so I heard. I guess it limits the number of ecto/armbrace stacks people can have, although I find it hard to believe anyone can actually have that many.

Actually, if you ask any ANet programmer, they'll tell you that what you suggest is harder that just adding more slots.
Bags do NOT 'contain' stuff.
Bags just 'unlock' the inventory space you already have.
That is, the space for each character is fixed and limited. Bags do not increase it. Just reveal it so you can use it.

As always, anytime someone says 'increase storage space'. My answer is the same:

- The more space you have, the more stuff you put inside.

More space never fixes the problem.

UNLOCKING does.
Pay once each armor crafter, save miniatures like hats, common trophies (weapon collectors would trade an amount equivalent to 500gold you can trade an use in all collectors 4 for 125gold collectors, for example, and then use that trophies in all cllectors).

And, of course, also FAST MARKET.
So people don't have to save items and sell them in bulks later, but sell then as soon as they tun out of pace.
