Every game I've played I've always enjoyed tradeskills, and you always run out of space for materials and stuff. Sometimes I even wind up with other characters whose sole function is to be extra bank vaults and bag holders.

I've seen only a couple videos on youtube showing banking, looks like...a bank, and various inventory types? Or it looked like it was broken into parts or something?

I wasn't in closed beta but have preordered CE and looking forward to open beta. Can anyone give me a lowdown on storage in the game? Decent? Expandable through upgrades or quests? Are there bags? Do crafting professions like tailors or something make bags? Also, do crafting mats stack, in sizable stacks? These are kind of the standard questions I would seek for crafting in any game, especially as I gather you can have many different crafting professions at once at various levels of expertise.

Because no matter how much space you have, you never have enough.

your invontry is a magical cube. you can add to it the first ubgrade is cheep like 1k in cash yet the second one is about 10k there is a were house accout were house and lagion were house. before i loged out of the closed beta i put alll my stuff in the werehouse all my armor my 2 million cash potions dyes every thing. i wounder if they will still be there. but back on topic i don't know much about crafting its my week spot (i suck at crafting im hoping in aion i can get better lamo) but back ontopic again. Me and my scouts have found no info on crafting cubes/bags but the were house is just about every were there is also a brooker (like a AH) and personal Store. i think if you see your were house offten you will be fine. in the asmodians city cap the were house and craftiong section are like a 1 minute walk from each other.

thanks for the tips, I know in some games you start out with tiny storage and getting your first expansion in storage is almost as important as getting your first few levels...so you can loot without running to sell every 5 minutes.

Will be looking forward to seeing for myself soon! And of course, all may be entirely revised in the first 6 months or a year...these games really are never "finished." And certainly not at launch, or as I call it, paid beta.

(Edit...I'd be very surprised if your stored items were still there, all the characters from closed beta and open beta will be wiped before live launch.

Ok Slakka, have you done any crafting as of yet? Any news from personal experience on the storage issue?

This is going to be a major problem. The storage issue was *already* a problem for me, since I am a notorious pack-rat. But there are so many different materials that are used in crafting that it takes up over two rows in the bank alone. It certainly makes me appreciate EQII's bag system much more! How are we supposed to survive on such little storage space?
