also hopefully guild storage will come soon
Xenrath
According to this thread there's an unconfirmed bit of info that guild storage has to be "won" somehow. Erm...
sigried
you see it is very dificult for collectors to handle very few slots as sstorage and can you imagaine a hole new set of wepons and all new stuff in the next chapter maybe new materials we will not be able to handle all this in the pitiful storage box we have, and not metioning new characters.
Xenrath
Yeah tell me about it. Many warriors will have at least two sets of armour (assuming PvE), not to mention different weapon sets across classes, the things collected from various events and so forth. My mesmer already kind of doubles as a bit of a back pack for my other chars, poor guy. I can see it getting much worse if there's no additional storage space.

I have heard they will slightly increase storage space, Or they were at least considering it
sigried
same here like for my necro i have all sets of greens to swithc on what ever im farming and not to metion the armor.
I think we really need to have a little extra storage in this new chapter

I never thought of that, but yeah, storage space SHOULD be increased, I collect all the materials I need for my characters' armor, and that takes up all my boxes almost. I have one row of runes and that's it. Between me and my BF, we each have a certain amount of materials, he holds the iron/steel ingots, I have all the cloth and silk, I have shells, he has scales, etc etc. To conserve space, we usually play at the same time anyway, but it really would be nice to have more room.
I was a little disappointed at hearing only two new character slots, I'm going to be dying to make new combos, as it is for this weekend coming up at March 24th, gonna delete a char to reserve my Assassin chick, I was getting to like my E/N too... Eh, such is life I guess.
Edit: I need to get another GW account.. But there's no way I'm installing factions seperate, my E/Mo is dying to see some play time in Cantha. Heh. We'll just have to wait and see what our persuasion gets us. It might not happen right away, or we may get a whole new vault place for Cantha, who knows.

i know you can buy a second acount but just think you cant have thigs all separated come on you need a little space. for some people that they only like PVP they really dont care for space but for me i love to go PVE

I agree, if GW increased storage space, I would be much happier with the two chars slots. I currently have one char that is soley used as storage. It is a pure pain in the ass to move items around to be able to play him. This problem will be only magnified once you merge two games and new items. A gulid storage being accessible by the leader or officers would help this problem out tremendously.
ANET, i really hate wasting time in town trying to buy items(not elite items), simply because I cannot storage something that I find playing the game.

There was a link to a German interview that was translated English and it talked about how you will be able to unlock many traders for your Guild Hall. This would include Merchants, Dye Traders, Rune Traders, etc... This also includes a Xunlai Storage Agent. The thing here is that it would be a normal Xunlai Storage Agent, not a Guild Storage with a bin that everyone in the guild could have access too. The only benifit of the storage agent in the GH is that you can have easier access. I haven't seen anything hinting towards a different type of storage, and I don't think there is going to be one. There are times when a universal Guild Storage would be helpful, but I think it's better off. If we got a storage bin like that you know there would be that many more griefers coming into these forums talking about how someone in their guild stole all their crap and left.

I could use the extra storage...that'd be nice.
Mister_Smiley
i think we all want more storage.

This is why the guild's storage needs limited access. If this happened, it would further thrive the guild play in the game.

If it is a reward, I sure hope it doesn't involve any PvP or GvG crap.

I do know that at some level, sadly, it will. Just like getting the guild hall itself relied on the Sigil market. *sigh* Those of us who do just PvE are stomped on all over. At least the market trade exists. But, it's so expensive.

I think the storage situation is fine. Each character can carry 45 different items. 5 for another set of armor, maybe 2 or 3 different weapons, and the rest for whatever random drops I find. Raw materials can be held by just one of the PvE characters, and storage can hold all of the runes and rare items I haven't sold yet. And then there's still space on the other characters.

Well.. if youve played GW since its realease, like I, and many others have.. Storage is a big problem, at least for me anyway, who likes to keep rare greens and items.
I think we should be given the option to buy extra vaults from the storage ladies, maybe 5-6 extra vaults, each holding the same amount. It would save alot of grief. Or, allow 1 extra storage vault for each character on that account, but instead of having to swtich chars to access that particular storage, enable any character to have access to it. e.g. 4 characters = 4 storage vaults. 2 chars = 2 storage vaults
I can't understand why Anet would ignore such a staple issue for factions?

If you link your Factions account you gain 50% more character slots, so logically it would be reasonable to expect storage to increase 50% in capacity?
If not, then this is another reason NOT to link your factions account (which ANET insists is a good idea)
However ANET doesnt seem to see logic or reason where a few issues are concerned...
Storage is one of these issues which ANET seems blind to, despite all the logical reasons, (not least of which is the tons of new collectible items they have introduced into the game since its release)
Guild storage is another one... its needed, fans want it! there are good reasons to have it - other games have it and manage fine, so there is no real reason it cant be implemented
Same goes with 1vs1.. just for sheer depth of entertainment 1vs1 would give, unbeleivable why still not in yet.
These issues and features which fans have been banging on about for nearly a year and still nothing....
I wouldnt hold your hopes up too high

I thought Guild Storage was a given...
And there are rumors about special storgae for customized items (which will help a lot). But Anet could make lots of money just selling extra slots to people, that's for sure. (Let's not turn this into another Slots thread... pretty please. With Dwayna on top.)

I actually dont mind with the way ANET are handling the slots thing and dont want to make it a slots thread myself either......
However..
I do suspect character slots and personal storage are directly related!..
After all, if your own family grew from 4 to 6 you would need a bigger house, wouldnt you?.. true, you wouldnt need a house twice the size but you would definatly need it to be bigger....
6 characters sharing the current storage capacity would be intollerable, wouldnt it ?
more storage will DEFINATLY be needed!.. so at the very least, if you link your account storage should increase by the same proportion.
I dont think this is unreasonable, and my argument is logical, but my point is.. where storage is concernd ANET doesnt seem to see logic or reason!

There could be legitimate expenses for storage which is why Anet is currently limiting storage on linked accounts.
Or, there could be plans to expand storage later. We really don't know, but with all the threads on the issue of slots and storage (which, as you say, are connected), I sincerely doubt Anet is unaware of the "problem."

Noone is debating about wether or not Anet are aware of it
, of course they are! they have been aware of it since very early on, its the most common question asked at frog/gaile sightings.And yet, they still havnt directly answerd the question, explained their concerns or given any hints about their future intentions!
why not?..
"who knows what they are thinking?"...
when Anet go to such lengths to avoid answering concerns like this its pretty obvious that its not a good one! in contrast, they are very quick and LOVE to answer questions we are going to like the answer to..... (ie, is Guildwars still going to be free monthly?)
and this is why I think that we are NOT going to like the answer! and am not going to get my hopes up, despite the logical and reasonable assumptions.
I agree, the slots issue is one directly answerd by Anet and explained, as such is pointless to debate, the storage issue, however, is still a very worthwhile debate.

It is not point less, you see im gettin storage problems and i have only play this game for 2 moths i have all storage packed up and all my characters slots filled, Im a hard core gamer and like to PvE more than PVP and i olso like to have my little collection in some items,
For example my Necro character I usually play him as a ORDER,SS,death and in some cases i play Soul rip, but you see you need one armor to do this and 4 diferent head scar with super runes in it. Plus each one has a diferent set of weapons and personally i like all. Besides all the armor you olso like the good lookin armor Like fissure. Imganie all ectos the craftin materials so basically you have the belt pack and the bags filled up. Not saying that the crafting materials you can only hold 250 of each.
Iguess the little space we have now in the storage in enough for the 4 but for 6 char i guess ill have problems with storage.
Oh and im planin to buy another acount to create the other characters i cant create due to that i only have 4 slots but it will be the same ill get filed u with the storage i guess.
so my point is that storage for merged acounts is an issue.

Well, I've just had to trash my candy weapons because I need the space so yeah, I'd be looking for more storage as a must. Had to ditch the Halloween stuff to make room for THEM, by the way. Either that or form my own guild and use that for storage - but I guess that is out if the 'rewards' rumours are true.

i think there will be a Cantha vault waiting for usif we are lucky there will be a screen giving a choice as to which vault you open for easy switching

Having less storage promotes trading. Having trading promotes interaction with other people. Interaction with other people promotes friendship development. Having friends keeps you playing and buying more games.
Having limited space also encourages people to buy extra accounts (seems silly to me just for storage reasons, but people do it).
So, less storage looks like more money for them. I doubt we'll see it.

I have hardly any space for tradeable items, so I only keep hold of the most valuble items, even then.. they hang around for weeks not being sold, I end up giving them away to at least someone who would use it.
I now hate trading, and the lack of space discourages any sparks of interest I may have again.

I spoke to someone the other day who has 3 accounts.. two of which are mule accounts, unbelievable, but actually completly affordable.
Even so.. 6 characters sharing one standard storage box... it would just be completly wrong
