Why does anyone care if people horde items? How does it affect you, I'd love to know. I've never played D2, but I've played alot of other MMOs and horde'ing items has never been an issue as far as I'm concerned. So what if Player XX has tons of items in his storage? If he wants to be a pack rat, then that's HIS buisness.

I play 2-3 RP characters, and my storage is slammed full of dyes/materials/weapons/custimizations. My friend's storage is full also. Having to use one of my RP characters as a mule doesn't help either. ( I guess you can call me a 'horder' because I cba wasting my time selling items to others? )

Vangor · May 12, 2005, 08:50 AM // 08:50

So people don't want others to horde items which they got? Because this makes perfect sense obviously...

Really though, I fill my storage up insanely quick with one character, I have to use others as storage for him. I save Iron, Steel, Leather, Hide, Scales, Silver, Black, and Green Dyes, then a few higher weapons, a couple upgrades, runes, I mean it isn't hard to fill this all up if you aren't restrictive. So either, you can't hold on to items you might use later, or you can't hold on to items in order to sell them without wasting a massive amount of bank space. It is just incredibly easy to fill without holding on to anything for selling. With another character I need glittering dust, cloth, bones, featers, whatever, if you have 3 characters then you'll probably require all of them, and rolls of parchment, linen, silk, so on, with their upgrade, weapon, and rune types. And don't tell me to hold on to some of this, I already have 15 slots for kits, excess runes, and weapon sets.

Stupid to have such a hatred against more space for storage.

I guaruntee that simply preventing players from "pack-ratting" is not the devs rationale behind limiting storage space.

Cybrosys · May 12, 2005, 02:52 PM // 14:52

I want more storage space, there's no reason not to, make us fork up 50g extra for a cpl of more slots.

Varuna in Nolani Academy sells runes of holding. Cost 500 gold.

As does:

Riley @ Piken Square
Spencer @ Frontier Gate
Rolf @ The Great Northern Wall
Serina @ Serenity Temple
Hamish @ Ruins of Sumia
Gram @ Fort Ranik
Vencel @ Sardelac Sanitarium

What gets me is that each char pays 50 Gold for access to the same 20 slot "bank" space.

If you know this rational why dont you say it instead of spaming the thread?

zemelett · May 13, 2005, 09:30 PM // 21:30

if you think about it, you have your main backpack which hold like what 20 i think. then you get a belt pouch +5, and 2 bags at +5 each. 20 + 15 = 35; then you can get 2 runes of holding and apply them to each of your bag for 10 more spaces for a total of 45. And that doesn't even count your storage space. Can you really need that much space???

Eclair · May 13, 2005, 10:26 PM // 22:26

Yes =)

The new GW update allows you to double your bag(s) space. You need to purchase a storage rune for 500g...

ManadartheHealer · May 14, 2005, 02:48 AM // 02:48

Many are complaining about storage space. obviously, you cannot have unlimited storage space, so no matter what, eventually you will have to start getting rid of some stuff. If we had double or triple the storage space, these same people might (notice might ) still be complaining.

Solution: Quit keeping everything. Everything I don't sell I use the salvage kit on (unless I am using it

), and then sell the materials if I have to. I haven't run out of space yet (although I filled all backpack, etc. space once, but storage vault was still empty. But I have excuses: Long Quest)

Ive only just got to Yak's bend and i've had 10 slots in my bags for a while now. I definately got it before Yak's Bend. I think i got mine from the Pockmark Flats area!!

Sierra · May 17, 2005, 12:50 PM // 12:50

I don't think we should have a lot more storage space but I would like to see the vault 1-2 rows wider/longer. As it is I cannot fit all dyes/crafting materials into the vault, which is something I don't see as hording or why keeping these items would be any problem. Just to make space I've traded some dye for colors I already had just so it'd stack. And, of course, I never know when I might later need such-and-such crafting material so I like to keep a decent amount of each.

TEFFalcon · May 17, 2005, 02:11 PM // 14:11

If u r really that desperate, create extra charchters, and use them for long term storage. I do not see why anyone would do that though

dro_china town · May 17, 2005, 02:17 PM // 14:17

lol that sounds good..
or like pages of storage space..

and i got a question.. does the guild hall have storage things??

Lek Stacy · May 17, 2005, 02:35 PM // 14:35

[QUOTE=and i got a question.. does the guild hall have storage things??[/QUOTE]

No. This is the only extra storage I would like to see. A guild hall community storage, so your guild members could store crafting materials and weapons for other members characters. Sometimes you just can't be on-line at the same time, especialy when you have members from all over the world.

CatsPaw · May 17, 2005, 02:42 PM // 14:42

You are able to get the rune of holding at the frontier gate.....I found that before the bag from...oh...what's his face...ask what other services he has and he can sell you a bag, then the merchant had a rune of holding for 400$ or so....

Corwin_Andros · May 17, 2005, 02:53 PM // 14:53

My G/F and I, and our guild to some extend, spread the holding of crafting materials among us. It seems like a fair amount of space up until you start getting runes and weapon upgrades. That's when space disappears fast.

It gets a tad aggravating when I have to empty a quater of my vault.. put it into my warriors bags just so that I can pass a bow, wand, or rune, or whatnot to my other characters. It's like a bizzarre dance on your account.. Shuffle your things in the vault... Log out Char A.. Log in Char B.. Shuffle stuff in the vault.. Log out Char B.. Log in Char C.. repeat until you pass out..

Either increase the bag limits a bit more so each character type chan hold a good chunk of his classes runes and things or increase the vault size. or both.

Not to excess, but it would be nice not to have to do the shuffle among all my chaaracters or have to go oh wait.. my G/F has the Leather Squares.. Have to wait for her to come on to get that new piece of armor.

In all fairness, this is indicative of what (I think) the devs were attempting to acheive with limiting the storage space.

When your storage space is limited, you are forced to have frequent 'fire sales' to clear room for more important things. You even (gasp!) might give things you aren't using away, as once happened in the pre-ebay MMO's.

Runes loading you down? Stop salvaging runes you don't need. Or better yet, yank that ranger rune off a bow and *give it to a ranger*. Stunning concept, I know. Trade him for the elementalist widget he's (most likely) got cluttering up HIS locker.

Keeping the locker space limited keeps the items liquid and moving. Expanding locker space leaves to stagnant items that could be of use to someone out there sitting and collecting dust in storage instead.

In short, yes, I believe they're attempting to avoid the hoarding economies you see in other games.

You seem to be able to buy Runes of Holding from Piken Square now.
