Hi everyone!

 

As many of you may know already, we have been working hard in the background on a rather large update to ROSE's database and backend systems, as a step towards expanding the possiblities when it comes to anything and everything related to items.  As part of this update, comes a number of improvements and upgrades to aspects of the game, taking advantage of the latest improvements to the backend.  I would like to take a little time to give you guys a glimpse into some of the changes that are planned, and what to expect from these changes.  In this thread, I will cover changes to the storage system.

 

[ Disclaimer ] Everything discussed here is still in development, and may not reflect the final design.  There is currently no announced date for when these changes may come into effect - we will keep you informed of a release date when the update as a whole nears completion.

 

With that out of the way, let's dive right in!

 

----

 

Overview

Updating the storage system comes with a few goals in mind:

 

More storage space!

Who doesn't want more storage space?!  Increasing storage beyond the 8 tab limit imposed by the backend and interface has been a long requested change, and it's finally in the works!  The backend changes unlock the potential for limitless storage (within reason), and new types of storage for specific purposes.

 

Increasing options available for storage.

Based on your personal storage needs, you have the option of expanding (permanently, without further restriction) and unlocking access to storage as you need it.  The introduction of Premium storage provides a new convenience to Premium Account users, who are given access to a large chunk of storage space, and the ability to access it from anywhere in the ROSE universe!  The introduction of Item Mall storage specifically for Item Mall items gives you as much space as you need to store all of your costumes and other collectibles that originated from the Item Mall, without imposing on your regular storage.

 

Greater flexibility over how you manage your storage space.

The ability to move items around and split/merge item stacks without having to constantly withdraw and deposit items makes organizing your storage effortless!

 

 

Storage Coupons

  • Akram Storage Coupon
    • Enables single access to all storage types.
    • Moving from location where item was used causes Storage window to close.
    • Cannot be consumed while Storage window is already open.
  • No Fee Storage Coupon
    • Negates Zulie deposit cost for all storage types for 7 days.
  • Account Storage Expansion
    • Increases Account storage permanently by 1 page
    • Affects all characters associated with the account.
    • Note: Available in Item Mall and Premium Shop.
  • Character Storage Expansion
    • Increases Character storage permanently by 1 page.
    • Affects only the character the coupon is consumed on.
    • Note: Available in Item Mall and Premium Shop.
  • Character Storage Expansion Pack
    • Increases Character storage permanently by 5 pages.
    • Affects only the character the coupon is consumed on.
    • Note: Available in Item Mall only.

 

Due to the fundamental changes in how storage will function, the Storage Expansion Coupon 1/2/3/4 coupons will be removed from the game when the new system goes into effect, and compensation will be given in the form of Premium points which can be used to purchase new expansion coupons from the Premium shop (the new permanent expansion coupons are way cooler than those temporary ones anyway!).  We will give more advanced notice of this change before the update is scheduled for release to allow you some time to decide whether or not you want to make use of the coupons before they are removed.

 

Storage Types

  • Account
    • 4 pages initially.
    • Increased permanently by 1 page per Account Storage Expansion Coupon consumed
      • Limited to expansion of 20 pages total (including 4 initial pages, allows up to 5 times increase in account storage).
    • Storage contents are shared between all characters associated with the account.
    • Cannot deposit  'Character Bound' items.
    • Large Zulie cost to deposit items, and no cost to withdraw items.
  • Character
    • 1 page initially.
    • Increased permanently by 1 page per Character Storage Expansion Coupon consumed.
    • No page expansion limit.
    • Storage contents are shared only with the current character.
    • No item type restrictions (can deposit Character Bound, Account Bound, etc).
    • Small Zulie cost to deposit items, and no cost to withdraw items.
  • Item Mall
    • 1 page initially.
    • Page limit automatically expands and shrinks as items are added and removed from pages.
      • Adding an item to the last empty page will add a new blank page.
      • Removing all items from the last empty page (where there is more than one empty page at the end) will remove the page.
    • Storage contents are shared between all characters associated with the account.
    • Limited to depositing/withdrawing items with "Item Mall" type designation.
    • No incurred cost to deposit or withdraw items.
    • Note: It should in theory be possible to have multiple empty pages in between filled pages, which players may wish to take advantage of for future organization of their Item Mall storage.
  • Premium
    • 10 pages initially.
      • No page expansion options offered.
    • Cannot deposit/can withdraw items when Premium Account subscription expires.
    • Storage contents are shared between all characters associated with the account.
    • Cannot deposit 'Character Bound' items.
    • No incurred cost to deposit or withdraw items.
    • Can be accessed via 'Premium Storage' menu option while Premium Subscription is active, from any location.

 

It will be possible to drag items between slots within the currently displayed page to reorganize that page's contents, and at no Zulie cost to the user.  Moving items between tabs and pages will be left to the player to move the item from storage to their inventory, navigate to the new tab and page, and redeposit the item.  While this may incur a cost to the user, it removes any ambiguity of which tab and page the item is now located in.  The 'No Fee Storage Coupon' can be used to facilitate reorganization of storage without incurring costs per transaction.

 

Storage Interface

storagelayout.png

  • Available via NPC interaction or Akram Storage Coupon.
  • Allows access to all storage tabs from current location.
    • Leaving immediate range will cause Storage window to close.

 

Premium Storage

premiumstoragelayout.png

  • Available via Premium Storage menu option (or keyboard shortcut Alt + P).
  • Allows access to Premium storage tab only, from any location.

 

Premium Storage Menu Option

  • Menu option appears only while Premium Account subscription is active.

I like that concept :)

 

Here is an additional idea:

 

9prxpf.png

 

You could display each storrage page like in the picture aboth and enable the user to choose his own name for each page.

Means he could rename "Page 1" to "Mats".

This would allow the user to have his items a way more organized.

 

Furthermore you could offer the user an option to forward all the mats he puts into the storrage, to his "Mats" tab with a client sided check on the item type.

As per the Item Mall storage, it states "Storage contents are shared between all characters associated with the account." So Is this storage accessible for Leonis + Draconis characters on the same account, or just single server sided? It would be awesome if the specific "account bound" items, could be shared between the server, since they can't leave the account anyway.

hmm, we can hold more item but still only can sell in vend 5x6, max 30 items?

what i want to say is, for example if i craft weapon, then atm i only can carry 30 weapon max

but if this character storage upgrade happened we can hold more right?

if it possible, i want larger vend space like 10x6(for example), with in the update for storage update.

than it makes more easier to vend too  ;)

You're not likely going to see the side tab feature implemented. Reason why, is because some storage space will expand as needed, which can make the tabs look rather clustered and fall off the menu. It's easier for us to be able to have the pages as they're illustrated, so we can expand the page capacity, without worrying about the UI's space, and all it will do is update the number of pages of storage.

 

Q: When will this happen?

A: It is planned to be part of the Database Upgrade, we've been working on for a while. It is intended to be part of the release, if not shortly after, once we're able to verify the data has converted over correctly. This is going to be a bit of a strenuous test and process because we're dealing with a lot of data and want to ensure that we keep everything intact as it is, as well as prepare for the expanded uses we're planning to head towards for items.

 

Q: Is this storage accessible for Leonis + Draconis characters on the same account, or just single server sided?

A: We do not have plans to allow for the storage to be cross server accessible for launch, though we have discussed the potential and will be considering it after the initial DB update is completed.

Leonis also said in his post, that they'll consider it after the initial update is completed. Just leave me that little bit of hope :D
