Dev Diary Feedback: Shared Storage

[TurbineCommunity]

Announced today as part of the LOTRO Adventurer's Pack, Shared Storage is a new storage system designed to enable sharing between all characters on a given account!

Read more about this exciting addition to your storage options and post your comments here!

So is it a max of 20 items and with the option to purchase more spaces like the bank vaults operate now? I thought that is how it was previously explained

Are there multiple storage slots we can purchase like th Vault slots or is it just 1 big one? How much will it cost to buy that one slot? And how many item slots does it have?

Also, the Adventurer's Pack pre-order offer says we will be given "shared storage between characters". Does this mean a 2nd one? Or is this the only way to get the shared storage? Or is does it basically pay for the first shared storage slot for us?

Thanks for the news Turbine! Awesomeness! I was getting so angry over the adventurer's pack until I read Marketroid's post, now I'm so very happy.

For your convenience, bound items can be stored in Shared Storage -- but only the character they belong to can retrieve them. The Filter Bound Items option will hide items that don’t belong to your current character. Unique items cannot be stored in the Shared Storage

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

now I have a spot for all my housing items.

Looks neat. Can we get those fancy filtering options for our main vaults? My storage is often so cluttered, I find separate stacks of items that could easily combined if I just knew I had these separate stacks.

It's kind of too bad about Unique Items being untransferrable this way. Those Uru and CD class quest items sometimes need to be transferred from one alt to another, and I'm pretty sure those are considered unique. But I guess the mail system still works.

It is a pure scandal that you got to pay extra to get these in-game perks.

It is company greed at it's highest : selling in-game items for cash.

Greed is always ugly to see. Greed from a gaming company twice as ugly.

I'm not too sure that is accurate. It seems to me that they are going out of the way to make paying for the expansion optional.

I didn't say anything about the expansion. I say that they start to do the same as in DDO : charge money to get ingame items & perks.

It is yuck to me, but I suppose rich people won't mind.

Why does Turbine put up a dev diary about shared storage, without revealing how much space it has?

I'm assuming they have some reason to leave us wondering, I just can't think what the reason is. But I'm happy about the concept, at least.

I was wondering the same thing. Let hope it is limitless like the AH! =p Now that would be a sweet x-mas present!

I'd like to still hope this question will be read/answered, but know in all likely hood it won't, but here it goes anyways:

Q. It appears as if this new shared storage system is only available on the PvE freep as it is accessed from a Vault Keeper. Does this mean that it will not be a feature available to monsters players, as we have no access to a creep, lore fitting vault currently? Or will a creep, lore fitting vault like space be added to Monster play, to allow for such a shared storage system to be implemented for Monster play also?

Shared storage: A storage space capable of storing 20 items accessible by all your characters on the same LOTRO server/world.

As near as I can tell it is only 20 slots for shared storage. There doesn't appear to be an option to buy more slots. The picture that shows "unlock more storage" is a picture of the main vault and is there to illustrate the "go to shared storage" feature accessible from the main vault.
