Holiday Storage?
Konrow
Has it really happened? Look at this quote from the wintersday article:
This may finally mean that a Hat storage or an all around Holiday Storage will finally be created! I personally can't wait since this will give me a chance to clear up a TON of space. Any thoughts on this?

Good job A-net!
I hope they'll let us store old hats/masks/antlers, as well as festival potions, cc's, candycane weapons and everything else you can get during festivals. That would really clear up my inventory and storage! Saves me the trouble of salvaging almost everything I find during quests/missions, due to a full inventory lol.

yaaaay!

or possible called armor storage? i was thinking that seeing that its a thing that being requested as well. We will just have to wait 5 days more to find, or mabey even less becuase they might give us hints.
take_me
Yes, sounds like an armor storage. That would be great.

Armor storage sounds awesome!
I'm hoping each character gets their unique own storage (maybe a Inventory option and not the account based storage).
Can't wait!

Don't make assumptions and then you can't be disappointed. 
That being said, I'm sure looking forward to seeing what it is. Rock on ANet!

I can't wait to put my special hats (i got like 8 of them) into this new storage.

Any storage expansion is wonderful!

I'm not holding out any hope that this will be any sort of significant storage upgrade. Just another gimmick, and that, sadly, doesn't excite me one bit.

Well if it truely just is holiday item storage then that saddens me because I got rid of all my charcter's holiday hats for space. 
reetkever
Ohhh wow, that means I have 1 mule less soon
Hmm well i don't pkay ritualist anyway, but having 3 mules is a bit annoying - specially when they're all full :P

Hopefully this storage is for both customized holiday items (the hats) and for the non customized holiday items (candy canes, witches brew, and other similar things). If it is both of those, then yay I will have at least one less mule after this event! 
Either way, this new storage (and everything else about this event) seem awsome!

I hope this is character-based, not account based......which it should, since the holiday hats are personalized per char

My Sweet Revenga
I can see a hat storage being feasible. Really it'd just be a binary toggle.
Wintersday 1 slot dwayna - has the hat? 1
Wintersday 1 slot grenth - has the hat? 0
Halloween 2 pumpkin? 1
Halloween 2 warlock? 0
Heck it'd be simpler than the materials storage since it's only 1 or 0. I sure hope it is storage. Hell I sure hope it's ARMOUR storage. Then maybe I can justify going out and buying up every armour in the game. But I doubt it heh. Hat storage at the least would be just fine.

I think it's time for them to bite the bullet and increase basic storage size. That piddly little box was alright when we only had Prophecies stuff to worry about, but 3 chapters in I think it's time to make it bigger.

I would be extremely disapointed if they introduce storage for something as worthless to the actal play of the game as hoilday trinkets... When there are many things integral to the game that need better storage options.
Runes should stack, insignias (of a like kind) should stack, inscriptions should stack... Armour should have its own tab, keys should have a tab, dye should have a tab, etc...

I'm so excited for this...finally frees up one of my mules

I hope this Holiday hat storage will in the future allow us to store our head gears as well and perhaps even evolve into the armour storage that so many in the community has talked about with the wide selection of armour with each new chapter release.

The 'worthlessness' may actually be part of the reason they're planning to make the extra storage options. Most of those items you don't get any in-game advantage to stockpiling them, while you do have an in-game disadvantage (that they take up valueble space that could be used to contain something that isn't 'worthless'). Providing special storage helps eliminate this disadvantage.
Hand of Ruin
I hope we get a new NPC that can store a large amount of holiday items to accomidate for events to come. Something like twice the normal Xunlai storage, but it can only store holiday items.

These items purposely dont stack, so you cannot hoard large amounts of them.
This keeps new items coming in to the traders, and keeps prices down.
Also the reason storage is small.
Dye tab would be nice tho
shardfenix
The storage will most likely be an extra bag on your character. No real use in putting customized items in storage.
Dye storage? Pre-Chapter 4? Spoiler?

Yeah, Gaile gave me that answer when I asked a question about storage upgrades in the future. Still, thank you Anet. =)

I would like to know why ANet is so damn reluctant to simply expand our basic storage space? The hell with the holiday crap. I want to be able to hold more stuff that I collect when it isn't a holiday too. Why will they never give in? What will it take? ANet, please tell us what it would take for you to give in and expand our basic storage. Seriously.

Neato.. I guess it's not a bad thing but more storage isn't something I longed for, unless it's more storage on my actual character.. as in more bags then YAY!

i am really glad that any amount of storage is coming, for a person like me who has 4-7 sets of comical masks on every char, having a storage for them wouldn't go a miss.
genreally, i think there should be larger bags in your inventory as well as increase storage size. i seem to be running out of space just about everywhere...

There is no difference in hoarding Dyes and hoarding Runes, Insignias, etc...
"This keeps new items coming in to the traders, and keeps prices down.

How does that apply to Runes and Insignias and NOT apply to Dye? Or do you like to hoard Dye, but have no interest in the other things?

I assume you beleive for some reason that those technical issues mysteriously disapear for holiday items?

Again, I say just because you don't like it doesnt mean it's crap or half- assed. Come on, show some patience and some manners.
