I know in TSW you can buy extra space for your inventory...is there any chance we'll be getting the ability to expand the size of our bank in AO?
Some of us don't like needing an extra froob account just for storage space.

Current individual inventory/backpack/bank capacity in AO far exceeds virtually any other MMO today, most by a huge margin, so I doubt there is much market for an item shop feature to simply add slots to your character inventory or bank.
All they really need is an org bank from the get-go, with like 150 slots, each able to hold a 150-slot individual bank/storeagevault/whatever, with access and naming controols. Org banks are an MMO staple that AO doesn't yet have and, done right, should relieve much of the stress currently put on regular banks and mules.
I'd be happy if backpacks were altered to hold 42 items, or even if there was special social backpacks that held say 50 social only items, I don't know about anyone else, but I've played for a long time and have a LOT of social stuff from birthdays or special events or just social clothing in general taking up a reasonable % of my characters banks.
I bet that adding an org bank would also end at least 50% of the instances of people sharing accounts.Quote:

The inventory system need an overhaul altogether. I do not want to rely on third party programs to find a nano programming interface in my bank.
Allow banks to hold like 5000 items! That would solve me having to have 8 or so bank chars just to hold all my hoarded crap. Arul gem bank, Alb farmed items bank, Misc tradeskill items bank, PB pattern bank, Symb bank, AI items bank, Twinking gear bank, All purpose equip bank, AI clump bank, Towers items bank...
I beg to differ with Means comment a while back where he said there was already far too much inventory space and players were losing track of all their items...
I'm supprised that Means said that...Quote:

Every holiday event, or event has 5-20 things every event. One thing I did like about Tabula Rasa is it had a tradeskill piece inventory window, and a different inventory like tools or something.
How about a bank system w/ 2 links, one for tradeskill or social/event armors, and another for the junk formerly known as the blob.
While moving this to a link system, would allow them to add an interface so you could 1. blob, 2. social stuff, 3. search
In Search, you do a keyword search (like the old gms), and click on the item and it shows you where it is in your bank. (I would love the ability to open packs within the bank. would save a ton of time looking for stuff)
The more I read about means, see vids he was in, learn about the guy, the sadder I am he left AO.Quote:
