Yay, more space to hoard things I'll never get around to selling or using! This will of course be nice, but I just know that's what's going to happen to it. That is, until I get fed up with storing it all and merch a ton of stuff, thus beginning the cycle anew.

As one who has complained, sometimes loudly, I say:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Now can you please make identical items stack? I know this might be harder for variable items like mods and inscriptions, but what about runes and insignia? And you KNOW that there are still scrolls that don't stack (I've heard when they drop in different campaigns).

I won't really be able to delete any mules, but this will make things MUCH more convenient. So again, thank you and keep up the good work!

Yay!!! I actively play all 10 professions and have gotten most of them pretty far in all 3 campaigns. I'm hoping that this means lots of storage for me.

Ever the pessimist Zinger. Actually, from the way it is worded, it sounds like it might be tied to the Cartographer titles. Might not be a bad idea to keep server space limited. Newer players won't have as much storage as veteran players (who generally need it more. Those lvl 9s in istan don't need more storage to hold their non max white axes).

Phaff although i understand your great tribulationa and hasty praise keep in mind anet has denied you of storage expansions for many yrs. Yes i agree it is awesome but do keep in mind since the "veil" has been lifted GWEN (Guild Wars Eye of the North) and GW2 have been announced what is the purpose of continuing this great game we love known as GW1. GW1 was great for many people it was a radical introduction liberating us ( the gaming market for morgs) from the yoke of bondage from "online fees". But in essence Guild Wars "Expansions" were in turn a cruel deception to the gaming populace of and they unwittedly returned to monthly fees. Take GW: Faction and Night fall for example. Although i started on Factions i loved the game but when i bought Prophs i noticed what a crapsht Factions was in lesser gameplay. Nightfall only sold well for the FIRST 2 WEEKS!!! GW has been milking its product tru expansions and in other threads they have been
exposed Since Nightfall failed miserably in sales they have now decided to make GWEN to let us make use of "idle" time. then we are told GW1 characters will not be able to go to GW2 is a travesty to any GW1 owner. Just think about it for a casual gamer the loss may not be so much as they spend time doing normal social interactions. But for the hardcore gamers they have lost thousands of hrs Over Guildwars timespan. What is the purpose of continuing to play Guild Wars if the only thing that is gonna help you is the Hall of Monuments in GWEN which in turn in GW2 (if I understood it properly allows you limited special bonuses to your GW2 Character.

So let me get this st8 thank anet for enlarging storage something it should have done a long time ago. and let me continue to waste many hrs in game so i can get more towards my titles to waste for a Gw1 game whos server is gonna die in a one yrs time after GW2 is up.

I see no reason to rejoice let us go to WoW. Online fees but im wiling to take that alternative after thousands of hrs wasted in gw.

22 characters accross 3 accounts on all three continents, 12 playable and the rest WERE ALL MULES.

I have at minimum 3 sets of armor per character, a full mule of just shields, a full mule of just swords, just of hands, etc, etc. Add in trying to equip an estimate of some 72 or so hero's with the best you find and this was long over due.

Hip Hip Hurray!

Way overdue, but as Arkantos said, better late than never, so thanks-in-advance to Anet...but as a die-hard pessimistic curmudgeon, I'm going to wait to see the actual implementation before I get really excited about it.

Is it that "the more chars you have the bigger the vault is", or "if you have all three campaigns, it's bigger than if you have only one or two"?

Anyway, I'm glad it will be enlarged. I've created too much mules by now

People who were "pooh-poohing" on the idea of more storage weren't complaining about the idea. They wanted/would appricate more storage too. What they didn't like was all the people b****ing about the lack of storage.

This would make me sad if I had to run to Elona just to get one item stuck in that storage.

Besides which campaign = amount of space.. it almost sounds that mapping titles somehow effect this as well.

Either way as someone who owns all 3 games

Quadruple storage? The lesson here is that good things happen when you're patient. Huzzah ANET! Now bring on the Auction House complainers!

A-net what's up with you lately?

I hated most updates done (skill 'balances', farm killing, chest killing etc.), but the last 5 or 6 updates are GREAT!

It's like they endured our whining for a long time, and now everything gets improved at once.

Sneaky A-net, very sneaky. You stopped me from (almost) quitting the game, thanks for going to waste another year of my life on gaming xD

Edit: forgot to say THANKS!!

Hurry, +1 post count.

How big are the storage updates going to be? I'm a little lost in the wording (just got out of math, so everything's a little hazy)...

It's an additional vault equal to the size of the current one for each campaign you own.

I think that it said if you own all the chapters, that your storage would quadruple.

More easy then that

here some expected ones:

Besides the not enough you already mentioned
I have to OWN the other campaigns to get the most
That's cool but where is that promised (insert update here)
Update was too late, I left game some time ago

But again I want to state, Thank You Anet
I've actually manged to handle my inventory nicely but with this it makes things much easier.

Here is the way I understand it.

Current - One vault and material storage
If you own only one of the campaigns - 2 vaults and material storage
If you own two campaigns - 3 vaults and material storage
If you own all three campaigns - 4 vaults and material storage

Hopefully when you get GW:EN you will get another...but now I'm getting greedy.

Thanks A/Net!!!

Very BIG THANK YOU Anet! ^_^ yes it's about time and Togo was right... little prear and reasoning did help!Somehow i knew that Anet will listen to the argument of many expansions but limited storage that i first saw in one of GWEN's threads.

First off this is awesome - 4x in vault means of course lots more storage.

But think about it - it actually means much more.....

With 4x storage you avoid the special stuff.
4x is enough for several sets of armours for many toons.
4x is enough for all the keys for 3 campaigns to stack
4x is enough for all the base level dye to stack

And most important of all..... you won't have to switch toons as often to grab stuff to sell.....
I don't know how many times I see a WTB xxx and whisper to myself - damit it's on another toon.

What 4x storage boils down to is you can now effective manage your inventory between characters and NOT HAVE TO SWITCH CHARS EVERY SECOND MINUTE!

Anet this is cool. Cool I tell you and much appreciated.

Hopefully you'll get your return in sales of more chapters but as the owner of 3 accounts with 7 copies of chapters this is appreciated greatly.

PS here comes the obligatory nag ....... wait for it...... ABOUT TIME ..... there, I feel much better now
