Storage.
Is there enough?
Even with the space provided by a belt pouch or inventory bags (an extra 10 slots when runes are used on both) - given the sheer amount of items dropped and things to collect in GW...my guess would be a distinct 'NO' and that 'extra' storage is on many people's wish lists.
How many players have inventories full of collector items just waiting to be offloaded or taking up valuable slots because you don't have the correct number of items needed?
Probably quite a few, yes?
The simple answer to this problem would be to give collectors a 'running memory'.
Should,say, you only have 4 items of the 5 needed - you can still hand over the items you have knowing the collector will 'remember' how many you need to finish the transaction - temporarily freeing up an inventory slot in the process.
Collector memory wouldn't need to be NPC specific as all collectors of a certain item would keep the same running total.

I'd rather they just let us put bags of things into the vault

Agreed Rieselle! I would've bought many more inventory runes if that was the case

I would love more storage personally but generally once you go to the next zone you want to get the new monster drops to collector's for the better items of the same type armor (not always the case). I also love the idea of stacked storage bags of stuff in a vault

A fair point.
Loading your storage full of inventory bags is an appealing idea - 200 slots is a far cry from 20 - but as you can't remove/equip a full bag - it's not feasible at the moment.
You may as well say 'Why not double,treble,quadruple etc. current storage' but i'm pretty sure that would subtract something from gameplay as you'd never need to 'juggle' items again - you'd probably be hard pressed to fill 200 slots anyway and what happens when you do?,the new gripe will be the same as it is now 'We want more storage.'.
The collectors' memory idea was to add slightly to the existing inventory system by allowing players to free up valuable space without the need for extra storage facilities.

LOL...maybe starting a post with the words 'Storage.Is there enough?' wasn't such a good idea.
I meant to put 'Inventory slots.Are there enough?'.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing...ho hum.

Hording... The typical American 3-car garrage

ok, storing Bags in storage is BAD >.<

i say ths from personal experiance where my chest has eaten my stash of stuff 3 times in one month on NwN.
however, if i kept it to seperate items, my chest didnt eat stuff

what we need is...

1 guild storeage, thats upgradeable.
2 Scroll of Greater Opening...doubles your bag to the same size as your backpack, but you have to have used the smaller Scroll of Opening on the bag first.
3 Quests for the Xuni storeage guild....if you do them, you get more space, till you can store about twice the amount you have now.

its not hoarding, so much as a set of armour you look HOT! ^^ in that you cant carry about and maybe a set of weps for your next char thats on their way fom Pre to Post

I fell they have the right amount of storage and need no more to prevent hording items by the rich.

You can never have enough storage, if they give you 5 more slots, you will want 5 more. However, the good thing about small storage space is that you are forced to decide what to keep and what to throw away, which in some form actually acts as a gold sink because people won't be hording loads of valuable items. I'm sure many of us sold dyes to traders, and then later in the future brought some dye back that was the same color we sold a few weeks ago. If we had huge storage everybody would be just hording stuff.

true, which is why im for guild store.

if you trust peeps in yer guild, they could all slap their materials into the store and that frees up at least 10/15 slots in your *personal backpack* storeage.
that would save me having to carry around a bag full of materials.
(guild store *small which for a modest fee, could be accessed same as normal account store, so that if yer guild didnt have a Hall, you can still have it, then the medium/large/HALL SIZE hehehe come later with cash or quests ect.)

if *i* had a huge store, then i wouldnt be storing eveything....but i *would* store upgrade items and runes and armours for my other characters....and basic dyes rather than mixed.
