Any plan to increase the size of the storage?
Eomer Brightblade
Well, the storage size is good for 1 characters. But for 4 ?? Mine is always full, I even create 4th character to store thing on him!

They're keeping storage down so the old D2 pack ratz won't be stocking up on stuff they'll never use. If you're running out of room in storage and on your characters then you need to sell some stuff...lol

I run out of bank space on my one character but they are all materials and I don't know if i need them or not. So I don't want to sell them

The same materials you need at the beginning of the game are likely similar to the ones you'll need near the end. I'm a packrat though, and so I have a mule who does nothing but carry dyes, materials, upgrades and runes. I sell off my upgrades and runes as needed but hold on to all materials and dyes. I now have about 50 dyes (and one of them is black! that's pretty damn crazy!) and I have over 1000 planks of wood, around 500 iron ingots, 50-70 steel, 500 glittering dusts, 500 bones, 250 of lots of other things... it's fun this way. 
I don't do it for trade, I do it for the same reason that crazy npc's collect shrivelled eyes. For this, I would LOVE to see more storage space

wel, since the name of the game (no, i dont mean its guild wars hehe) seems to be to make players pay for upgrading stuff all the time (bags..i mean i want another opening thingy so my bag bolds as much as my backpack!) then wy not have a rune of opening that makes your stash hold more items? same amount of cash storage, but have up to 2 upgrade runes for all the things but the belt pouch and the backpack, so that they can be upgraded more
i have the same prob as slug, i collect the materials and the dyes, and end up having a bag full of mats and a bag for dyes on my main char...
(thought, if we had a guild stash, buyable for say, 1k small, 2k, med and 3k large, and i could get that from the xuni too, i would keep dyes n mats in there for the whole guild help thing)

Giving people more storage space just props up the ideal of greed.
Purchasing larger storage space only emphasizes this even more. The haves continue to get more and more.

I think the game mechanics itself contributes to this packrat mentality (I have been one since the good ole days of Wizardry back in the 80's). First, we have the Tapestry Shred with no idea what it's for except for some broken quest that the devs are "aware of." Then we have Gwen's broken flute.
On top of that, we have a runaway economics system - the "I'm not selling my Sup Rune of *** for 2k when it might be worth twice that somewhere down the road" mentality!! Couple that with all the quest items we need to carry at one time or another (and that great Battle Axe of Super Charr Destruction that will come in handy for a guild buddy of mine), in addition to our own weapons sets, and even what may look like more than enough storage ends up being less than half of what we really need.
Just look at the myriad of weapons and upgrades. My Warrior is nearly chok full of various Swords, Hammers, and Axes - each for dealing max damage on a specific type of monster in specific area of the game. I don't want to get rid of a weapon or focus item until I know I don't need it or I come across a better one. In the mean time, I need a place to store all this stuff until its usefulness can be determined!!

I wish storage was increased like tripel maybe. I have a char right now that has every sigile inventory slot filled with 250 iron ingots in each slot. He is my guildes iron pack mule. Every person was given an item to store for the rest of the guid on 1 char. Iron, Cloth, Fur, etc. We do this just for guild storage and it would be much nicer to have a place to drop these materials. Maybe a guild matterial storage bin that has a slot for each material (both rare and common) and an unlimited amount of that material can be stacked there.

Storage is adequate as is IMHO.

my storage is full of crafting materials that I don't even need....I don't even have a need for storage other than stocking up on materials. I'm trying to get 250 of each material...thre's like 5 plat worth of materials in my storage
Storage is fine as is...what do you need to store?

I like to save the collector's stuff. There's about 100 of them. I probably should either salvage the stuff or sell it dirrectly to the merchants, but I just can't.
Anyway, for the price of another account you can get some 200+ more spaces of storage.

You're wrong.
Night Daftshadow
the storage is fine. plus, you can buy a pouch and increase its size to 10. also, you have 2 more bag slots. there's more than enough storage.

Giving extra storage space only contributes to hoarding and if you thought prices were rediculous now. See what they would be like when people have more luxury to hold onto things. Emphasis on luxury.
IndyCC
rather than increase storage and argue if it is needed or not maybe solve both qualms that exist in this form simply by raising the matierial stack amount from 250 to lets say 300. No abuse to the poor, no increase in storage slot abuse, yet every packrat can hold more materials which is mostly what is horded for obvious reasons of not wanting to pay the spot rate 6 missions down the line.
Edit: speaking of spot rate...we could create a whole market of hedges and have an alternate market of future contracts and forwards...oohh the complicatedness of it is inspiring, very real world.

if you want more storage just create another character past pre-searing buy bags and upgrade with runes........theres the extra space you need

Personally, I think 250 of any one material is enough...

But now I really like this idea of having future contracts. To heck with the Chicago Options Exchange when there is a Tyrian Options Exchange selling wood contracts and Ectoplasm contracts. How nifty
/me proud of myself. lol

While futures, options, and contracts would be interesting, I highly doubt it's going to happen. I personally doubt the game's economy would hold up with that much pressure on it. In addition, the devs have better things to do, in my opinion.
As for storage, I've also found myself without enough storage spaces, but I don't think the space needs to be increased. An idea that I think is good though, is to add another inventory bag called the Materials Pouch. It would only be able to carry materials and could carry some set amount of materials so that people who wanted to save materials for future use could do so without wasting storage space.
As for people who just save a bunch of runes and upgrades, I do that too, but the problem there isn't with the storage space. You really don't need to save all those runes and upgrades, it's just a matter of choice, and it's a choice that you've made that costs you your storage space.

I think the idea of a central Guild Hall storage unit would be a good idea... you're not going to place your bestest of best items there (being accessible to the entire guild, even those who manage to join for a day, raid the coffers and leave...), but it could be good to store those extra feathers or green dyes.

I like the materials pouch idea.
In AO you had a set amount of inventory then you could buy bags (they were expensive 3-5k each but max gold was like 999k) and effectively fill up you inventory with as many bags as you had slots and each bag held a good chunk. Then there was also storage (called a bank) that you also fill with bags. The insane amount of inventory in that game didnt seem to affect the economy at least not what I could tell for the three years I played it. So I really still haveing a hard time wrapping my mind around this idea about inventory amount skews economy. I mean really think real world, you have infinite access to inventory. You own a home you can fill up with crap, run out of space fill your yard up with crap, run out of space buy more land...doesn't seem to influence the economy other than land prices...
Sholtar
Well IndyCC you can't honestly think that the Guild Wars economy is comparable to a real economy... but I agree that inventory space doesn't have as much impact on economy as a lot of people would think it does. However, that doesn't mean we need more inventory space.
IndyCC
No I dont think video games have reach real world quality yet. But that is why I threw in my past experience from AO.
