I'm another player who is having some problem keeping the inventory organized. It really does fill up fast, once you get into crafting. (Much like real life that way...)

So is there any way to make more characters and use them and their retainers for storage, passing items back and forth as needed? My web searches on this topic lead me to suspect that the answer is "no", unless you use an external friend as a go-between. But, am I missing something obvious?

Another idea: when we finally get housing, will the houses have closets? That would be a very welcome perk of getting a personal space.
