What I've done as a premium player for storage over the years.

ending in this most recent scheme of things.

started with 2 crafters 1 transferred from another server.
(crafting supplies from 3 to 4 years of collecting)
( and character purchased storage space (backpack and a cookie jar and permanent rogue shadow))
2495 seemed dooable. ( 5500)
Current crafter toon same some 120 character bank slots

1 Crafter TR bank (190 items) and his character bank (120 items) and 100 slots inventory. used for crafting augmented items
2 Crafter TR Bank (190 items) and his character bank (120 items) and 100 slots inventory. Used to store named items
Please fix the TR bank and other issues of not recognizing the level of the item. the filter doesn't work correctly.

Main TR Palemaster 6th life
a few more Alts with TR space.
and a few HC toons. with space.

60 or 80 shared bank space and 1000+ crafting space.

note: I had to purchase additional BTC augment bags <( had to pay for checked bags lol )
huge large and medium I think . 1200 before they went on sale the following week.

wouldn't you like a free server transfer for a vip subscription?

Was to be able to find equipment in as close to one place as possible.
be able to search through it with filters.
and remove copies.

Inventory slots ( I have in the past) can be shown on the toons tool bars with details as long as they remain in inventory.
and its a pain to open each pack tab and item, looking though items for level and detail.
but its storage space.
