Bank storage for Endless Journey is here [Feedback]
As stated last week we will be publishing Endless Journey limited bank box storage today 4/16/2018 by approx 3 pm ET. All Endless Journey accounts will receive a base amount of 20 items ( bank expansions can increase the max item count to 28). Any account over the max limit will be able to view their full banks but will not be able to remove any items at this time. In the near future we will be adding the ability to remove items from the bank that are over the set max limit. Please check it out and give us your feedback, if all goes well we will be putting this out to Origin tomorrow and WW by Wednesday.Link: https://uo.com/2018/04/16/endless-journey-bank-storage-update/
Awesome that it's rolled out this fast, but the item limit seems bizarrely low. 50 seems more reasonable..

I think a player could be very successful with a 20 item bank box. if I think about the actual number of things I need that I do not carry on my character, it is quite small for non crafter characters. Except my sampire who has a box of 25 or so weapons.
What do I put in my bank box (the rest being stored in house) ?
- bandages
- recall scrolls
- bag of sending
- 2/3 pet balls
- powder of translocation
- zoogi fungi
- a change for some arms & some armour
- vegetables
- meat
- arrows
That's about all as far as I'm concerned so yes it's enough imo, at least it can do.
Glad you could get the EJ bank going. Please do not ever put that Jewelry box grid system on subscribers banks. If you have to, put it on EC.
Are you going to work on the vault now? Personally they have enough, if they want more they can subscribe and join us.
EJ has brought many very old returning players to LS. And some EJ accounts from new players.
Well Done!
In another thread I suggested instanced rentals at the vault building. That could add a bit of storage.
This way scriptors can not put 60000 of many things. And the bank has a weight limit.
20 seems reasonable for me. I felt with no storage, returning pvpers would drift away again with no storage to keep supplies. *EDIT* Noticed the weight limit is WAY too low. That's equal to around 15 of each potion and a couple apples and completely unacceptable for todays pvper.
Suggestions to either or:
1) majorly increase bank weight or
2) allow NPCs to sell all greater potions, enchanted apples ect AND/OR
3) decrease weight of consumable pvp supplies
$$ If they REALLY want to make money they could add in account upgrades for max bank, extra character slots and perhaps a 7x7 while still remaining on the freebie. $$
I know of people that want bank storage so they can close some accounts and/or make free. I'm worried about a lot of revenue loss. most these free/EJ accounts will be used by existing/returning players, not new players. people see a way to view/have accessing to closed accounts with stored items, have endless storage by opening 10/20 or more accounts. no need for all those storage houses. I wont go into everything, I'm just worried.
My own account which has High seas shows 24 slots when I take a character through the EJ gate on test center
If the average EJ players stays for 6 months, what would make you more revenue: 25 x $10 storage upgrades + other potential items bought from store or a 6 x $15 subscription?
I don't know why people have such a hard time here understanding how FTP can generate more revenue in a shorter time frame.
Is your assumption really that the average player sticks to this game 10+ years??? Did you even play any FTP games at all in the last 5 years?
So Petra is correct

"if all goes well we will be putting this out to Origin tomorrow(that is today) and WW by Wednesday."
UO is NOT concieved for "casual" play as many others MMORPG around, so, again IMO obviously, any form of FTP has to be thinked MAINLY as a gateway to subscription (and as a TOTAL BLOCK against serial freeloaders).

All I found was AOS rewards, valentines, gift boxes, 9th Anniversary stuff, etc.. But, I digress. If I had access to view my bank I still would have subbed.
If I had limited access to 20-28 items it would have taken a bit longer but I still would have subbed - which is the point. Until you play the game for a little while you do not need that much storage. Clearly 20-28 items is not enough to play the game long-term. It is however more than enough to hook a player for a few hours or days and encourage subscription.
1) World of Warcraft - ?? characters, content to level -20, tiny vault space, limited currency ??
2) Lord of the Rings Online - 2 characters, content to level -30, 20 vault slots, limited currency 2 gold
3) DC Universe Online - 2 characters, content to level 30, -20 vault space, 1,500 currency limit
Ultima Online - 2 characters, majority of content, 20 vault space, unlimited currency
Seems like UO is as good or better than the competition. Anyone who knows what StarTrek, Star Wars Old Republic or any othe F2P offer feel free to add ( or correct me).
