Give EJ players a limited bank box and be done with it.
No extra features to develop, just an EJ limit on the bank box. Simple to code. No extra explanations needed. when the EJ players tries to add something that makes it go over the limit, have a "subscribe to UO for more space and all of these cool features" link show up. End of story.
For old vet EJs with bank boxes filled over the limit: allow them to take stuff out but not anything back in until they are under their EJ limit again.

You know what I mean!
THAT Dot is some real funny stuff!!
good one
But if they are doing vaults it definitely has to be a separate system. You do not want to accidentally end up auctioning player's bank boxes =o
If they invent some system so players need to 'pay' to keep up their storage they will just quit as the so called 'free' play just developed a quasi subscription called bank fees.

This is why I also made the other thread about subscription perks that are more in line with modern mmos...while giving current vets something new too.
The bank just needs to be limited but accessible. Old accounts over the limit can take out but not out back in if they are over the limit. Simple.
On Siege most people who quit stored their soulstone collection in the bank. Soulstones are kind of a big deal on Siege...
There is a reason why they didn't want EJ to have bank storage. It is most likely to prevent hoarding items or letting them sit there forever, which apparently puts a strain over time on the servers. That's why they made the clean up Britannia system and that is why they are rumors about them working on a storage system that gets auctioned off if an EJ stops logging in.
But that's too simple I guess.. UO needs some convoluted system... some ugly gumps... with at least 5 buttons... along those lines
Did I say EJ needs limited bank storage yet?
Secure bank storage? It needs to be PERFECT. UO is a bit slow when it comes to perfect lol, and frankly I will be clearing out my bank just out of paranoia. But try to be patient and cut them some slack - they are working on it.
Limited bank storage for EJ accounts just got implemented! AWESOME! Go UO Team! Now I can tell many people to come check it out. Though I might wait for some more fine-tuning.
Kyronix!
