The Xunlai Agents have exciting news! They plan to grant everyone additional storage. Veteran travelers who venture into every corner of the world will receive the greatest rewards, however, because storage capacity will increase with each region—Tyria, Cantha, and Elona—that you frequent. Thus, even if you spend all of your time in a single area, your storage will increase, giving you an additional vault from that region to add to your original storage box. If you are a world traveler like me, and if you journey through all three realms, your storage will quadruple, for you will receive three additional vaults to add to your Xunlai box.

Xunlai storage specialists have listened to the complaints from travelers that storage chests are simply too small to hold treasures from all over the world. After numerous journeys across three distinct lands, replete with noteworthy and valuable items, some adventurers have been forced to discard items they would have preferred to keep, simply because they did not have sufficient storage space. Their entreaties have been heard and responded to.

Truly you must agree that this is remarkable news indeed! We will likely hear an audible sigh of relief from packrats, treasure collectors, and traders the world over. Be sure to check your storage vault in the next few days for this magnanimous gift, and join me in extending a word of thanks to the worthy Xunlai Agents.

It's about time!

I do find it interesting that the amount of storage you get is relevant to the amount of campaigns you own...

This is great news, finally something to scream and shout about, instead of all these flame threads of GW2.

it's about time! it's not big enough!

on topic, maybe im reading this wrong, but how do yall see this working? is it one new sheet (or box) of slots for each campaign you own? or is it vaults in each chapter get an extra sheet/box of slots, but they will be unique to each chapter? i got simply new boxes for each chapter you own out of that. am i wrong?

Well, this way you get storage proportional to the number of slots a campaign gives, which makes sense. More characters = more storage needs. Lets them please the hardcore all-campaign types who demand storage most, without having to spend HD space on the casual buyers or spare proph accounts. With it being an upgrade you probably have to buy and on seperate pages, they might even get away with not needing extra space for inactive accounts either.

I've already planned how to use it all... one box for festival items, one for dyes and mods, the other two for my mesmer's extensive wardrobe...

Now I don't feel so bad about all the changes of armor I have for my characters.

PS... Unless ANet has found a way to magically provide all this storage space for US without having to increase their server space to accommodate it, this is a very generous thing they've done, and I'm very impressed and very grateful.

Did anyone else get the impression that the storage might be campaign specific? I wonder if the reason you get one per campaign is that you can only access it from that campaign. Just a thought.

I am just going back and reading all the people who pooh-poohed the idea in old threads of more storage - if you are reading this you know who you are.

"Gonna break the game."
"Be happy with what you have."
"What is the definition of reasonable?"

Well we're getting it - and it rocks!

Thx!

Don't think i seen anyone say this : Thank you Anet.

Now to spoil it, lets see what were the things that are whined about the most, storage and auction house.

Time to go whine about auction house/vend stall etc. (I'm happy believe me, its just that now that is the other big thing people have/will whine about

)
