Inventory space, it's time to increase itI've been playing LOTRO off and on since beta. In that time I've managed to get 2 characters into their mid 40s and for the most part, I enjoy my time here. But for some reason I find I lose steam about a month into playing, for various reasons. I'm here to address one of the things I feel has a big influence on my desire to play. Inventory.
When I play a game, I want to relax. My normal day is filled with many small and annoying tasks that I need to deal with and I certainly don't want to deal with the same kind of thing in my hobby. But inventory is exactly that. Quite often I find my vault and bags packed, and I'm forced to edit and sell in order to have room for anything I might pick up before I go hunting. Just now, I logged in with the idea that I might go get a few quests done and explore a bit, but I look at those packs, filled to the brim, and I realize that I must perform some menial task before I can go out and have fun. I logged out rather than deal with the headache.
The same can of course be said for most any MMO out there. But for some reason, LOTRO seems to be particularly bad. The recent expansion only made it worse as I now have to deal with skirmish rep items along with the dozens of other rep items already in the game.
What can be done? Perhaps create a separate storage for rep items? Make vault space a little more affordable and lower the level requirements? I'll leave it to the good folks at Turbine to figure out the best way to handle it. But I'd love to be able to pop into the game and feel free to explore without having to deal with clutter.
