Dont tell that too EVE cause it worked really well for them but that was a HUGE update.

legendary guardian, 8 away from legendary vanquisher, and I want more storage...just because you complete the storylines doesn't mean the game is over. There is much more to it than that. Collections, completion of goals, just playing and having fun. Seeing how many rare things you can get. All of this takes space, especially since people don't buy nearly as much as they sell.
You might want to edit your post to make it more accurate by replacing all the nouns and pronouns referring to "other players" with "me". Projection of your own opinions on to the rest of the playerbase doesn't exactly work.

More storage appeals to people like me who're fond of collecting stuff.

Account-based changes to the Hall of Monuments
This makes me wonder about Armor. Warriors have an extra armor set that can be added to the Hall. Since the September 28, 2007 game update, this armor (Silver Eagle Armor) set can be added to the Hall of Monuments.
Does this mean I now need to make a warrior to have all armors in HoM? I feel a little cheated, ha! I guess I should have seen this coming a while ago..

Or is it the fact that your GWAMM title wouldn't be as "totally awesome" if they updated and changed the titles? -_- |

Anyone seen Linsey's 4/9 journal update?!?
It's ELI!
He must be the one that was having the golems made, don't you think? Man, I can't wait for this update!

Who's Eli by the way? It doesn't say on her journal page.
I was thinking this...

Q: Who is Bahltek and what is his purpose?
A: Only time will tell when it comes to Bahltek. I'm going to chose to be as mysterious as he on this one.

Of course, i could be way wrong because I'm not sure who Eli is
Read the dialogue of bahltek in game, it's very interesting...

I am quite sure this update has something to do with storage for multiple armor sets. Maybe books too.
For multiple armor sets, maybe a mechanism like what we have for heroes elite armor. You can switch them back and forth.
It is also strange that by Thursday night, they have not announced what the weekend event would be. Normally, they would have announced it by Wednesday. There is hope...maybe they are testing it at the final phases right now to be sure the update would work well.

It sounds like a a bad joke

* Equipment Packs in assorted sizes, designed solely to hold weapons and armor (gear). * Every character will get a fifth slot for an Equipment Pack. * More purchasable Xunlai Storage panes (tabs). * Each pane is $9.99 USD from the in-game store or the NCsoft Store. You can buy up to four of them for a single account. |

The "petting zoo" as I now call it, is awesome and unexpected. Props to the folks who designed it. It looks nice from the video and I can't wait to check it out in game.
T1Cybernetic
It really does sound like a bad joke :/ shame it is not a late april fools 
The idea is great but the one time only extra storage tab sounds like lots of people will miss out once again on something and having to pay for it is not what i was expecting (Although i do understand the need for it to be a sale item)

You can get a new account (storage + many characters) for $10. Anet shouldnt charge anything for storage update -.-.
Redvex
For more space is worth to buy another slot and use this for mule character.
It cost -1$ and you have more space.

If that's all the changes being made, once again ANet have built up expectations to keep people happy and then let everyone down hoping they'll just hold on and not flee the game.

for free, you get :
* a fifth slot in your inventory to store armor and weapons
* a free pane in your xunlai chest
* the zaishen menagerie
* the zaishen challenge for both pve and pvp
* account wide hom ?
you can pay for :
* more storage panes
* unlocking all pets and evolutions for pvp (just like unlock packs already exist for skills and items)
so what the **** are you complaining about ?
Anet announced a big storage update, we have it, we even have things we wouldn't have expected (zaishen menagerie and challenge), all for free
they never said anything to build up your expectations to unrealistic levels, you did

Wow, this is exactly what I wanted to start playing the game again...
Sarcasm apart, this has got to be the silliest update ever made, due to the expectation that had been made before-hand.
People are getting tired of GuildWars for a long time now and this isn't going to help...I thought they would make something huge but if this is the best they got, I'm sad about that, it just shows the game is starting to die.

I hope.
thelessa
Don't overlook the fact that the extra storage tabs allow all the chars. to get to it once they have access. You don't have to search each mule to find that you think might be on them, than find out that it is not there, and you have to search another mule, etc...
The zaishen menagerie, I am so hoping that it will allow us to change pets at will and park our charmed pets there without having to lose them when you want another one

I do find myself rather underwhelmed by this update. Nonetheless, its not like I pay for it so meh.
The price tag on the storage does seem a little steep, considering the price of a new character slot - and of another account!
edit: ok, and its not coming out next thursday either? the underwhelmingness is growing.

Kinda like the update, expected more, but we all made the expectations ourselves, so i still like it. Extra storage is good, and the other new stuff is pretty cool as well.. What did you guys expect? Free kanaxais for everyone, or unlimited storage space? I think anet did a ok job. Dont cry, everything you get is for free.. (unless you buy storage but as said before, there are better alternatives for that.)

You are the one that sounds like a spoiled kid who whines because he doesn't get what he wants.
jazilla
9.99 if you want it, zero if you don't. i like the personal storage bag slot upgrade though. i am a zero guy. my pay for anything other than actual games or expansions is over. great idea for the people that want it though.

This Update was announced as a storage and hom one, you get unexpected free stuff, that has been wanted for ages.
Yes, lots of people have already asked for a way to switch pets, or for more pvp and high level pve content.

If people started imagining updates that won't happen, they should only blame themselves.
And so, what were YOU expecting ? Double storage for free ?

Personally if you have too many golds/ precious items that your current storage doesn't have the capabilities to hold, consider playing a new game as you probably soaked GW in for all its worth already. OR have fun with the game again and start another account/char from fresh, trying more challenging things.
You guys don't need to complain about this update being delayed, in fact i doubt it will be in time for the April update and perhaps will come in May or perhaps June.

ArenaNet, you're KIND OF getting the idea, but not quite.
I won't be buying the extra storage, but keep at it - eventually you'll offer 7-hero parties and when that time comes, I'll step right up and buy it.
