I don't believe the issue regarding bank space is related in any way to the amount of space available for data storage. I believe I read that it has to do with the coding and limitations that were set early on in the game's original development and successive expansions. Could it be changed? I'm sure, but the time and thus the cost associated with changing those specs aren't cost effective on SOE's end.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge proponent to adding more vault space. It's just ridiculous how many unfinished quest items I've gathered over the years and now, across three toons as well. Maybe I'm like many here, and just hate to throw stuff away that I think I'll eventually complete (despite the reward now being obsolete) but there were still enough hours invested into the quest that I want to see it to completion.

I think Tripodvi's suggestion of having more NPCs in the Guild Lobby (like Tavid Dennent) to hold quest items for a particular expansion would solve the issue of bank space. Perhaps this could be a suggestion you deliver for us. And while you're at it, maybe you can mention placing filters onto the guild bank that will allow the Officers and GL a little more control over what gets tossed in there.

I suppose these are not so much questions as ideas, but...

I would like to see a Guild Spell Archive (deposit, log, roster, call it whatever you will) set up like a cross between the Guild Bank and the vendor screen, allowing guild members to deposit spells and tomes for withdrawl by other guild members with the appropriate tags, much as the Guild Bank is set up now. Sort by class, level, rank, etc.

For tradeskills, I'd like to see an auto-combine button, and/or a combine # button. Basic function: keep repeating the combine automatically until a component is out of stock, the combine is trivial, the number of combine attempts has been reached, or there is no longer room in the inventory to store the product(s). Behind the scenes function: keeping me from getting carpal tunnel for trying to max out all the tradeskills.

Extra shared bank slot(s). 'nuff said.

EDIT: Trying to think of some questions in a more question-like asking fashion...

When will you delete that stupid sham of a microtransaction scheme, Marketplace?

...and I think that's about it, actually.

Was the placing of the Erudite statue in guild hall actually the intention for the reward?

(I know the guild "hall" was listed as the reward but isn't guild "LOBBY" not only a more fitting location but preferred? Was it a mistake or are you willing to admit it was a mistke to place it in guild hall as opposed to lobby or POK etc.?)

Thank you.

As for it helping with personal bank space, it is not FIXING the problem - in a way it is kind of exploiting or doing a run around what would appear to be the true purpose of a guild bank. Don't think Sony would suggest that, if they do, then they are suggesting to all the players to do a run around to get the job done.

Can you give us bigger bank only bags? Say 20 slot bags, This would double our bank capacity. You could make them way too heavy to carry around. Or... Give us each an account bank like the Guild bank our characters can select items from. With possibly 5 - 10 slots for double Lore items. Just my 2 copper pieces.

Yeah, thanks for that. We've actually got two co-existing guilds that store goodies and numerous spell mules, bazaar mules etc. I think we'd like to see a fix to the solution rather than a work around since this just isn't the optimal way we'd like to see it work.

Other Questions:
1. Are there any plans for upcoming Server Merges?
2. Are there plans to add future Merc classes to the game?

Everquest: Underfoot?

Last Year, NO ONE from EverQust (original game) #1 won.
We are the poor step child of SoE..but always there for dinner.
Last Year four slots (trips) were given away.

Are there any plans to give Paladins a pacify spell such as the one clerics have for a better solo or group action when cleric or a natual puller is not available?

I think the merc random timeloss is for if there hasn't been any combat since his call-up...

Q: What ever happened to the idea of changing the COA augs from type 8 to type7/8?

(This was asked before at a FF and the reply was sonmething along the lines of they would look into it.)

Not going to quote anyone but in general...

(a)More Bag Space(i.e. slots)....Not going to happen. Its coding and they wont consider it. Its been asked, answered, and posted. Quit looking dumb by asking a question they have already aswered more times than I care to count. Use EQtraders.com for a posting of the problem and answer. You can find another one on Sony's forums but EQTraders is stickied.

(b)Shared Bank/bigger bank...Believe they ansered this and its a memory issue on their side. Could be wrong has I have no links of where I read this information. Good question to ask if not answered somewhere else.

Questions....

1)Seeing how coding is the thing now limiting EQ...Will they consider updating EQ (i.e. coding) and re-releasing EQ? The only way it looks to get past many of the problems of EQ is to start over from scratch to get around many of the bugs written in the current system. The framework is their, its the coding that needs to be re-tooled. EQ2 shows that it can be done (as a host of other ne MMO's) and can be done with a 1-2 year projection as the framework is there from EQ2. Actually can they just do a copy/paste of EQ2, change what needs to be changed(starting cities, NPC's, quests, ect....), and call it EQ?

2) If your going to only push one expansion out a year, can you make alpha/beta testing an expansion longer (i.e. Testing to start by the players after Fan Fair)? The players seem to have a better grasp of testing the game and finding the bugs/exploits, naturally giving the coders longer to correct these problems and giving the game a more polished feel on release.

3) GM's/Guides - Please look into giving these individuals more power and/or authourity? With plat spammers running rampant and the elusive GM never to be found, we need not only more GM's/guides but a presence on the server so that they aren't so fabled. Some may abuse this power/authority but not everyone and with the screening process already making more and more guides elusive, we need a counter balance.

4) Can we make required level's on gear go the way of the Dodo bird? Sense the introduction of Rec/Req levels, the desire to rush to max level gets crazier every expansion. I don't dispute that this may unbalance the game for some (i.e. veterans) but these are the individuals who are going to rush to max level anyways, already able to obtain the gear. If they are able to stay lower level and teach (i.e. mentor lower levels) this may be a trade off because they have the gear and can use it.

Any chance of bringing back class specific weapons? Currently warriors are the only ones available.
