more than happy about the storage, the pet thing looks pretty neat too. im sure some people wont be too happy about having to pay for the extra 3 but at least its a possibility, and equipment storage ftw?
snaek
awesome...gotta pay $10 per storage tab
Verene
Oh, sweet. Nice find indeed!

I like the updates a lot! Z Quests sounds cool! The "Zoo" sounds cool!
Except... $10 for expanded storage space?

I think it means the actual storage chest... so instead of 4 bins (+ Mats)... you can have up to 8 bins... so thats an extra 80 slots of space... for a price of $40...
Solas
oh,looks nice
Well the extra tabs are optional, lasted 4 years without them already.
and we get an xtra bag slot if I read it correctly, so an imporvement there.

Don't know what the $9.99 will translate to for UK pounds, but it's £5.99 per character slot.
1 character gives 45 storage slots, each tab in the Xunlai chest gives 20 - that's 2.25 times bigger.

So at least we got the update date - April 23th
And a bunch of interesting info.
The Zaishen Coins will probably be rewards for the new quests.
"Equipment Packs in assorted sizes" = cool = not simply 1 size but different ones, sounds great, hope the biggest one isn't easy to get and it's a challenge well rewarded.
Price per storage tab sucks, period. I'll take one mule instead again, even with all the pain connected to moving things between them.

the thing i'm looking forward to most is the menagerie...but being on the battle isles means its only for pvp charas?
if so, then, no i'm not looking forward to it anymore lol
and lol @ the pet unlock pack
only unlocks "common" pets? so no spider? rainbow phoenix?

People have been begging for buy able storage forever,
People have requested a "zoo" as well,
And I have seen the suggestion for daily quests on Guru as well,
Looks like ANet is listening to the players.
I am impressed, this is a pretty big update.
EDIT: The vid has new pets, I wonder if that means they will be capable or can only be bought with faction or "coins".

The extra tabs are a mere convinience and strike me as too inefficient (cost wise), not worth the effort for real money.

Aside from the convenience factor of the extra pane in storage, I'd see myself buying a character slot with more storage than a pane and plus I'd get mini pets once a year too.
Free equipment slot and a special promotion pane, not too shabby though.
Looking forward to more details on the promotion and the Zaishen content.

yeah I second /lol at the pet unlock pack, and people have correctly stated that the $10 storage tabs <<<< discounted retailer gw boxes
even without them, the free pack and storage tab with weapon/armor boxes (or w/e) will render them largely moot
I'm excited to see what the dialy Zaishen quests are, pitting you against bosses...wonder how that works.

Athough... you would still have to toon hop to get the stuff you need... AND you would have to work on getting bags and pouches for the mules... but in the end... you would be saving "real" money.

^speaking of hom... no details? or no update?

O LAWD is dat pet stables?! 
slowerpoke
equipment pack sounds like a bag that only holds weapons or armor
and a slot added to each char to be able to use them
does that mean theres only 1 per char?
how many slots do these new bags have?
course its possible that isnt part of the 'big update'
even though it was promised 6+months ago

Carboplatin
the zquest idea sounds cool! what are the rewards for the quests??
the equipment bag is one for each toon, which mean to me it'll free up at least 4-10 spaces for each character, that is assuming you have 2 sets of armor plus a few weapons.
I can see that easily freeing up 50 spaces combined for people with lots of characters.
-the extra tabs are for those with serious storage problems, then yeah you probably have to pay.

I'm sure it's not easy, simply because HoM is just based on unlocking - 1 bit of data per whole armor set. How to use 1 bit of data to store whole armor? Not easy, would require a significant rework and would only store a clean empty (unmodded, undyed) set of armor.
Ofcourse that would be a storage improvement aswell, for those who want all the sets in HoM, got no space to keep them but don't want to unlock and then trash.

The Zaishen Challege Quests sound amusing as well. If anything, they will have people switching it up and doing different things.

More storage tabs on your main account is more effective... perhaps.
Buying a new account with 4 character/mule slots and free zaishen keys with the Xunlai Tournament House sounds better. Like Gaile, I too can use GWx2, it's not forbidden.
I'm curious about the Zaishen Challanges and it's rewards. I hope it gives us another way to obtain Zaishen Keys. Then it would truly be a PvX-title.

Its looks promising indeed. Good work Linsey and team! One great thing is Linsey always delivered on promises, hence, she is supercool in my books. Thank you Linsey! Looking forward to Zaishen Challenges...hope the rewards match the efforts!!
