New banking system

edited December 2009 in General Discussion
hm, i have some questions and doubt about this new system. from the sound of it, its going to essentially trash the existing banks, and force everyone to buy new bank stones, am i correct?

if this is the case, two questions:
  1. what happens to the items in the existing banks that we, who have bought the large bank stones, wardrobes, etc, presently have?
  2. and why make us buy again what we already have bought?


while a shared bank would be of great help-i've seen this in another game i play, and love all alts having access to the same items, i resent the idea of having to buy something i already have.

    Account Stash



    Players now have the ability to transfer items and coins between characters on the same account and server with the purchase of an Account Stash Stone. After obtaining the Account Stash Stone, speak to the PW Boutique Agent -> Quest Related. Activate the Account Stash and then speak to the Banker. He will now have an option labeled “Account Stash”. Drag and drop items, or drop coins in just like a normal Bank.



    *Some items cannot be exchanged between characters.

    Sounds to me like it's the same as how wardrobe/cupboard works but without it being limited to one character.

    Say we have eight characters made. Will one stone cover all eight characters? Or do we need a stone for each one?

    I am guessing we need a stone for each one.
    After all, they make us buy inventory stones for each character.

    Only makes sense I guess eh?

    (They sure know how to make money! >_<)

    Seeing as it covers the entire account, you'd only need one stone for all your characters to access it.


    Now if you want more space in it, that's when you'd want more stones.

    Come on, people. Use that common sense thing.

    I think one stone will cover it since its more like a linked account bank to move things easely between characters. I dont think that its gonna be very large though but on the bright side you could use bound things on your other characters.

    And now faith, hope, and charity remain; but the greatest of these is charity.

    I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say bound items and things like the supply stash probably go on that list. b:chuckle

    And yes "Even your bound items can be transferred using this stash, mounts can too!"

    OMG ppl do u even KNOW ot READ!?!?!?!?

    "When you use this item you will get a 16 slot account stash that you can access from any of your characters on the same account and server. Even your bound items can be transferred using this stash, mounts can too! This stash cannot be expanded further than 16 slots"

    So in other words it will give like another tab where u can put ur stuff and open from all ur chars. Cmon ppl, b4 talk and bla bla bla read and not just pass ur eyes through it but actually UNDERSTAND what u r reading b:lipcurlb:beatup

    I can't read. That being said, I replied to your question for no reason and out of the blue.

    And if you want blahblahblah, I'll give you blahblahblah.

    it doesnt seem to have done anything to my bank, but i am really teed off at how it has messed up the wardrobe. instead of having four outfits set up, and ready to go, now there are only 3, and even that doesnt act right.

    The stone does NOT work as advertised! I have three characters who each had inventory expanded. I got the stone. I activated it. ALL it does is change the expanded inventory slots into a pop-up window. Each character still has the same items they had in those slots. They do not see each other's items. Maybe I can get it to work if I emptied all the inventory slots I have, but then I've paid $15 to LOSE 32 slots. Hopefully, I'm just not understanding something about the new stash, but it really does seem like false advertising or a serious glitch.

    That *sounds like* (and I'm not in game yet) you're mixing together a different system.
    They also announced that you will be able to show more of your inventory slots at once, rather than having the scrollbar thing.
    The bank should be accessed from a banker.

    You need to read better. You can do the view all inventory without the account stash stone. thats ENTIRELY seperate. The account stash is a seperate menu item when you visit the banker. 3rd option (instead of 1st) is "account stash". Once you used the stone (activate at PW agent), you select this option for an entirely seperate 16 slot bank. Items put here are mutually shared between all your characters on the same server & same account. There's only a few things which cant be shared, as far as i have discovered or heard, Duty Badges & the new Public quest token rewards are the only non-shareable things so far (may be more).

    It doesn't modify your inventory...only gives you an option at the bank to stash items in a seperate place which can be accessed by all your characters on your account

    If you insist on assuming my experience with actually buying the thing (which, of course, included checking with the banker) is less informative than your own impression from reading the announcement text, please buy one of these. I can't think of a better punishment.
