Will storage size be increased?

I'm just about over the fact that we will only get 2 extra slots for our characters. And, before I get ontopic I do want to say that their logic is alright, but the problem lies in the lack of spots in the original game. It's only 4 for 6 classes, when two new classes are added it makes sense to get two new spots, but there has been a petition for more character creation spots before factions was even anounced.

That said.

I face another problem. I already have a small storage, I use 4 PvE characters which I love and, call me a packrat, but I get full pretty swiftly. Now by ANet's logic, if 6* 200% > 8*100% ( though that is entirely flawed logic aswell, as you're not going to enjoy the game from start with your level 20 characters ) then 2* storage (seperate accounts) > 1 * storage (linked accounts), so I feel like the storage needs to be enlarged.

Any information about this already?

I'm pretty sure storage will be increased.

It's being increased by at least 2 characters worth, right?

Maybe you will use a different type of sigil to get the upgrades, why else would you have sigil trader not a Guild Hall seller.

yeah, I hope it will be increased but since Gaile wanted it to, it will possibly increase with an extra cost or something

I wouldn't mind paying for the extra storage personally. Something along the lines of 1k for 5 extra slots would be just fine by me.

The more slots the better to be honest, i save all sorts of stuff from the
easily obtained collector items from pre-searing ascalon to gold fissure rares!

If there was a way to just buy extra storage per "say 5 to 10 slots" at a time
then that would make me and a hole bunch of other people very, very happy.

I hope and pray for something similar to this...

It should be doubled, but it'll probably be increased by 1/2 if you actually link the accounts.

Storage most likely will not be increased and it isn't much of a deal.

Consider:
-Backpack = 20 slots
-Belt Pouch = 5
-Bag = 10
-Bag = 10
45 slots/character.

45*6 characters=270
+20 (Xunlai)

=290. More than enough

If anything they need slots SPECIFICALLY for CUSTOMIZED armor/weapons.

I agree. I have all 14 mesmer green items and all the different masks, optional runes for changing when need be, and multiple armor for different defense. I'd like to be able to have them all just on my character so I could swap between them anytime instead of taking up all the room of inventory.

The Frog talked about this. He said that there will be more storage space, didn't specify how much, but when I was talking with him, I had my Yule Cap on and he went off saying there should also be room to store holiday items like my hat.

That's cool, and should help those still dealing with the "only" two slots complaint... maybe.

It's not realistic that you can carry more stuff in your bag than a storage -_-

Perhaps for you maybe.....but you are not the only player.....I am running low on available space and would like to have more.

I posted once before on this, just not sure if it was here....I think they should make tabbed storage. One tab of 20-30 slots for each character on account in post-searing. By going to the Xunlai agent you can access any of the storage sets by simply clicking on the tab, which would have the first name of the character it applies to on it.

I am very low on space on all my characters.

Keeping weapons specific to each character, at least two armor sets, kits, keys leaves very little room for picking up items without constantly having to salvage and toss items, especially for longer campaigns such as UW, SF, FoW, Tombs.

The only thing I keep in my storage vault is cross profession items such as dye, collector items, keys or materials. Even at that I have a whole slot dedicated to just those items and that is also full.

I know that we are getting guild storage, as that was officially mentioned during an early peek at what factions held, but I hope we get more personal slots and larger vault to handle character specific items.

I am really curious to see how guild storage is going to work.

You either haven't played GW for more than 10 minutes or you never keep any materials or holiday items. I have one character who carries nothing but materials and another character who carries nothing but holiday items and weapon mods... And no, don't get me started on the actual weapons...

Also, ALL of my characters have 2 sets of armor to swap and all head pieces with different runes on them, so I can switch them if needed. Of that 45 slots, 10 are used for spare armor, 5 for different weaponsand 10 other you always need to keep free for the drops you will get while questing. That leaves around 20 for storage, and not 45. One of your slots is probably a PvP toons which you can't use to store anything. That leaves you with 3*60 + 20 (xunlai) = 80. Which is nothing.

I don't think you will be able to keep personal items on guild storage.
For example...let's say you maxed your guild storage with personal items.
You also maxed your personal inventory space.
If you decide to leave the guild, or kicked, or guild is disbanded, are you going to lose all those personal items since you don't have any more space to store items that was in guild storage?
So I'm guessing guild storage will be used in order to share/give items to other guild members.

As I mentioned in other post, I'm personally ok with 2 character slots.
But when think of storage space, each character should get 1 full personal storage per area. If ArenaNet decides not to add anymore personal storage space, We(people who is combining) will only get half storage per area for their existing characters. Area meaning explorable map.
I'm pretty sure existing players will carry their stuff over to new area. Unless ArenaNet increases personal storage slot, we won't be able to accommodate new items.

If you are merging the accounts, I know you will get 2 character slot.
But what do you think about merging players having 4 character slot worth of "inventory space"? After all, all of 8 professions need to store their items for core and faction area right?
Just curious what GuildWars community will think about this.

Well, some of us like to keep a PvP slot open so you can say 245 slots. Even at 245 slots. For us "packrats" with an entirely new continent to explore and new drop potential...still not enough. As it is right now I have about 130 slots on 2 accounts filled for a total of 260 slots and I still need room.

Armor racks would be great - I have 4 suits of ranger armour (Two frost, 2 druid, one with all superiors and one with all minors for each - allows me to have any combination of superior/minor/mask), and may well expand to 8 if an armour storage is made (Yay for letting me have Drakescale and Studded too!).
