Has there been any word about increased inventory space?

I like this idea, like a bestiary. Have a log that records all armor purchased, found, or crafted that you can look through, try on, then glamor. This would save space in inventories but we couldnt equip it for stats and would still need to have the item if we wanted to equip it. I just wonder if this would make it harder or easier for the write time back to the servers.

It would have to be a different mechanic entirely. Like with the Armoire. Anything you "drop into" the glamour Armoire would have to be completely repaired first, spiritbond reset, and unable to be removed from the Armoire without the "key" (to prevent items from being accidentally thrown away, or account-stripped.) Then when you want to change the glamor of an item you just use the key with the gear you want to switch and you get a more generic catalog of "item available for glamour/item not yet stored"

What causes latency in the game is the actual keeping items in the players inventory. With the wearables, the other players can't see the glamour items themselves (when you examine the player), only the name of the item glamoured onto it if you wait a few seconds. So as far as everyone else is concerned, you're wearing the glamored item. From your perspective you're wearing the glamored item with the stats of the underlying item applied to it. It takes up no additional space because the number of objects you're wearing is unchanged. Likewise if a "catalog" is available, those items in the catalog can't arbitrarily be removed, so there's no disk syncing concern.

Ok, cause I wasnt even thinking like a separate inventory, more of just a list of items you have come across/earned. Like a bestiary. you don't have to capture one to have it and its information listed in your "book" you just have to fight one. But I do agree it would need a separate and new interface. I just hope this would help. I know its my biggest problem. I'm a gear whore, I use my character like a dress up doll and play with gear all the time. I'm afraid to throw anything out for fear it will be the perfect item I need to "get that look".

I think retainer inventory space is being increased.
