i never said a thing about adding new characters with full inventories so i dont know how you brought that up.
i was referring to an armor closet capable of taking care of full armor sets plus weapons for each character.
i think even you would admit that would be a large increase.
as for bandwidth sending a simple quantity of an item in a fixed location such as 100 iron ingots in space xx will take much less bandwidth (1/2) as much as sending the information that this is a fire wand with x-x damage/req x/ with inherent modifier of x% to do X % fast casting and another inherent modifier of x% of enchants lasting X% longer.
you can send that there are 100 ingots and show it in inventory with 1 byte i think but cramming the other information takes 2 bytes i think.
this would be a not small increase and acording to an article i read about a week ago the largest ongoing expence is still bandwidth cost
