@ Warpig..... what you are saying sounds like work. I don't want to be forced to grind and work to maintain a character. NO one does. That's just nuts.
Secondly we can't get GM's now what makes you think you could get some for a new shard. And ones that don't tell you to have a nice day and enjoy DAoC..... or some silly non-sense.
Lady Storm summed things up pretty well with just what's needed for crafting. Lets not even talk about fishing. To do the fishing quests you need to have almost a chest FULL of fish.... When you do that quest you wind up with 100's of items you can't stack. Sure you can combine the silly bait but how many of those books do you need? Not to mention if you want to do Pirate hunting while your at it you need 20 things just for ingredients to MAKE the crap you need to hunt the pirates, matches, match cord, the cleaner rod, plunger rod, cannon balls, grapeshot, fuse, match, powder...... and you then wind up getting 100's of bottles of booze..... 30 white dye tubs.... etc not to mention death certificates, flame cannon balls, ice cannon balls, and another dozen or more items....
Or what if you want to be a T-Hunter..... sure now you have a spiffy place to keep maps..... but don't do them.... Because if you do you wind up with 400 or more skeleton keys which don't stack, 300 tasty treats that don't stack, 250 vines that don't stack, mana phasing orbs don't stack, the shields don't stack, 40 different imbuing ingredients ..... Thank god the rest of the crap in there is worthless.... or you'd have tons of that too... For every map you do you wind up with at least 5 or 6 items that take up space. So if you do those 500 maps you have sitting in that locker you would have over 2k in lockdowns that don't stack. That's with only keeping 4 items out of each chest. If they are the level 6 or above you can tack on the mini-arti as well.
Now if you are really wanting to talk about burning up lockdowns then try fishing up MIB's. Each one of those you fish up nets you over a dozen items sometimes. With all the "pre" chest crap and then you get the chest and it has a bunch of crap.....
So I quit doing the T-Hunting and MIB's..... quit fishing.... and all that because I just don't have anywhere for all that crap. Sure I could throw it all away..... but then WTF is the point of doing it if I throw away everything I get????? May as well just not even bother.
I gave up on BOD's long time ago simply because there isn't room to do them. I stopped picking up T-Maps as my locker is full..... I quit fishing because I don't have room for any more of the junk...
I hate crafting now as it's too complicated and gives me a headache trying to figure out what I need to put on each piece and then I don't even want to try to figure out how reforging works, and refining is just plain too much......
So after quitting doing all those things..... there really isn't a whole lot left to do that doesn't add more crap to my homes.... So then I just don't feel like doing anything at all ...... because well what's the point I'm running out of places to put junk..... I don't want to just throw stuff away..... I love deco and design never know if I might need 30 braziers..... Or some of those stacked books, a skinned goat might just come in handy..... But do I need 50+ serving trays that I got for the 16th anniversary????? Probably not...... what about the cake no one can eat? Did you know you have to have an utterly empty backpack to take a piece of stinking cake off...
Anyway..... I'm told we don't need more storage... Fine.... I don't...... what I need is for crap to stack and combine. And I"m not going to throw away my gift crap if it's only worth a few measly points. May as well just sit where it is for that. Not worth the effort of sorting thru and tossing it otherwise.
