capacity for your character to store items and gold. It
was so frustrating trying to fit everything into a tiny
amount of space in Diablo 2, and having to resort to
using a mule account or using a tool to act as an
unofficial storage facility for your items – the
advantage of this being that you could easily then
transfer items between characters as and when
necessary.
A program to store items will almost certainly be
necessary in Diablo 3 if Blizzard don’t rectify the
problems we faced in Diablo 2 with regards to space.
Hopefully they will have learnt from their mistakes and
might offer us some alternative ways to store items.
One interesting idea is that they might allow us to
store items in a ‘universal bank’ so to speak – that
is a combined stash that all of our characters could
freely access as and when they pleased. This would make
game play so much more comfortable, and it would allow
us to kick-start our new characters by giving them a
little bit of armour and an appropriate weapon. It is
very frustrating not being able to pick up items simply
due to the very small amount of inventory space (and
stash space) given by Blizzard. God bless the Horadric
Cube for slightly increasing total inventory space…
Do you think it is likely Blizzard will appeal to
players’ requests and finally solve the spatial
problem? What do you think of the universal bank idea?
If not, we could well see a Diablo 3 tool for storage
of items, hopefully one as convenient as we had in
Diablo 2.
