Let me put into perspective something about storage that I recently said to Kyronix lets just look at a few things...
We've offered 100's of suggestions about reducing the lockdowns of our homes but are told we just should throw away things instead of trying to use them. Anyone who crafts will tell you that in order to try to attempt to craft you feel the need to have 4 accounts with Castles on them just to hold the 100's of BoD's Thousands of ingredients, 100's of tools, different stations for crafting, and tons of junk you get when you do craft turn in bods or anything else. To make things for the High Seas cannons you need not only every crafting skill in the game but you need 100's of materials..... many of which take up room.....
If you fish you need 3 chests to fill with Fish, Crab, lobster, Tools, Bait, plus you wind up with 100's of books, not to mention the thousands of items you fish up which don't stack, pillows, nets, paintings, parts, and pieces, now armor, weapons and other colored items..... the stones, rocks, stone boots, shoes, sandles, etc.....lets not forget the parts of ships to make and orc ship too.
God forbid you might want to do Treasure Chest hunting too because you will need 100's of storage for the vines and other junk you dig up most of which is not worth enough points to bother taking home to even throw away from points.
Then there is Imbuing and the dozens of ingredients you need to do that.... reagents for mages, necromancy, mysticism..... 100's of things you can get from the Abyss much of which also doesn't stack....We aren't even getting in to stealing and all the stuff I can steal, craft, create, deco with.... Then there are plants, seeds, trees, deeds, what about all the Mondains Legacy items that are part of the quests there, fangs, ears, map parts, and other things the list goes on and on. That's not even talking about weapons, armor, jewelery, potions, petals, food, scrolls, spellbooks, Powerscrolls, Stat scrolls, etc... just to keep your character outfitted... soulstones, soulstone fragments... we haven't even talked about Gold yet either... Some folk are still waiting on Gold being something that is just a number... hopefully account bound.
Then we get gifts... do you have any clue how many hundreds of thousands of gifts we wind up with? Even at 6 accounts that's 42 items if we only get one thing..... if we get 4 things in a bag that's no less than 210 items... per holiday.... that's over a chest full... now you multiply that by what Valentines, Anniversary, Xmas, etc....... that's over 1k in items in a year.... Not to mention Halloween stuffs, Event Stuffs, etc.... you're talking more than 1,200 items in just that a year.... that's only on ONE SHARD.... that's not mentioning Xshard trading to try to get a set..... etc..
Every player in UO can gather over 4k in items in a year easy. You do the math and multiply that by the 17 years of UO you all might see why we complain constantly about space and storage..... and then you all put in that god awful refinement and I know you worked hard on that.... but that added over 200 or more items that again don't stack..... when we tried very hard to beg to make it more simple..... but you all didn't listen.
I just don't think that you all really realize how much stuff there is in the game. And if you go back to 17 years of collecting stuff... there is Power, Vanq stuff, old items that don't spawn anymore like moonstones... crystal balls, some of the old necro regs from before.... folk love to collect stuff.
