enough bag space! that would be wonderful!
Too true. I once told my mother about how when you cook meat in game, it only restores health, but when you cook fish, it restores health and mana. Her guess as to why was that it was a subtle message from Blizzard that fish is better for you than meat. Of course, when I told her you need another profession to get fish, she changed her opinion to fish restoring mana because it’s harder to get. That’s why I never tell her too many things at once, or I risk adulterating her perspectives.
fish is a different type of meat
I don’t think there could ever be enough bag space or bank space. I could just cram more and more crap in there…I’m bad about keeping festival things…I still have lunar festival fireworks, the wand that turns your mount into something ‘more festive’ and noblegarden candy…sigh…I need an intervention : /
I have long said that there should be some sort of “shared bank” for your toons…I hate having to log into another toon to get more chilled meat, or cloth, etc.. Altoholic helps with the pain, but still…
My wife and I have our own private alt guild with 4 guild bank tabs, and that is always full.
As I’m posting, I’ll take the opportunity to say that I really enjoy the comic. I hope you continue to enjoy doing it.
Guild banks are great for sharing space – but my husband and I run out of that space constantly. He’s worse than I am, I regularly have to go through and clean out all the crap he wants to save…which just causes him to go out and get more crap to store in there!
Seriously, who needs five 20 stacks of cured ham steak in the bank?
my husband and I as well keep a personal guild just for the bank………which we are always filling up. d
1 tank set for boss… 1 tank set for trash 1 dps for both arms and fury.. RP Set PvP set… not much bag space left over
My husband and I have a guild bank for our mules as well. Er…”mules” being the term used in FFXI (my first “real” MMO experience) for bank alts – we can’t seem to stop using it.
Stupid non-players.
1. There will never be enough bank space. They could give each character a million bags will a billion slots in each and raise the stacks to a trillion… We’d still need more. lol
2. Blizzard can’t make it easy to get to an auction house without also adding another travel short cut. That would completely rearrange all the travel barriers and crowd funneling they already do. Actually, the way I’ve explained it sounds pretty stupid, but barriers are what make the game not instantly winnable and therefore challenging somewhat and therefore entertaining.
Instead of non-playing and giving advice, people should just join the online sensation! lol
I think most of the space problems (well, mine anyway) could be solved by doing the same thing for tabards and non-combat armor pieces (like festival clothing) that they did for mounts and non-combat pets — instead of having them take up inventory space, have you “learn” to use the tabard/clothing/whatever and then have the ability to “summon” it from a menu.
Of course, I’d still have like 60 stacks of herbs and ores sitting in my bank.
My husband and I have our guild bank as well… before having it we didn’t need it, and now we can never have enough room >.<! It’s a vice! How come we still keep linen cloth in there?
Inventory space takes up game resources. The reason they limit the amount is so that everyone doesn’t have 500 slots of vendor trash they haven’t gotten around to selling, along with their RP clothes, weapons they like carrying around, good luck charms, etc.
Try having a thriving smuggling business on the side… a Lvl.2-3 whose sole purpose is to ferry various goods from Alliance lands to Gadgetzan to be transferred across factions to be used or sold in the Horde markets. (made a mint in cats and bunnies… and likewise with roaches and groundhogs)
This was, of course, FAR before the opening of Booty Bay as a location for a neutral auction house. Either side, it was a harrowing run as a mere Lvl.1… your aggro radius roughly the size of Rhode Island. But, considering that I was turning a 50s investment into a ~9g sale, I considered the couple hours of almost pure panic worth it.
During the Dransik Beta each character had 24 backpack slots and 24 bank slots. You could put containers in containers and some beta players have ‘literally’ (in the virtual world) hundreds of thousands of items.
As the game gained popularity lag increased and the Devs couldn’t find the source. Turned out it was the infinite bank storage. A lot of ‘collectors’ left the game when they could only have 250 total slots…
