I want this. But more than just being able to view my various node and freehold storages remotely, I want something more: Item Search.

In FFXI there is a command:
/itemsearch "Ebony Log"

This command will list for me all of the storages that a particular item is in. I can't tell you how often, in BDO, I'm wondering where on earth I left my stack of this one random item that I don't use frequently. I can look at remote storages in BDO from the world map, but manually digging through 20-30 different nodes' storages to find where I kept my ASH logs (as opposed to all the other damn logs with similar icons) is a pain . Especially when they don't match my organizational expectations and it's been too long to remember why.

I'm organized, but I'm not that organized. So PLEASE give me the ability to find where I left my things. I can't be keeping a spreadsheet of every minor item in every storage in the game, when I'm trying to clear out my inventory to prepare for a raid, party, or even just farming with my friends. Doing this all manually may be "realistic", but it definitely doesn't make a good game experience. "Sorry guys, give me 5 minutes to update my spreadsheet. I have to clear my inventory."

Or worse yet: "Ugh never mind, I was sure that quest item from last month was in here, but I don't have time to ride to every node I tend to visit, or dig through 12 different storage boxes on the world map. I guess our plans are cancelled. " And worse yet still, it won't even be me most days. We all have that one guild member, so please give them (and us) the tools to have a good experience in the game.

Good mmos tend to have hundreds, sometimes thousands of unique items. I'd rather other people have the freedom to spend their time playing getting mats for my node than constantly updating their inventory spreadsheet. Leave spreadsheets to people who enjoy those (like me.) And even then I have far more important spreadsheets to maintain.

Database query failed while verifying quote authorship.

This is the natural reason in Ashes. In BDO the natural reason is that you can have up to 7 characters for free and at least another 2 more of you choose to spend your loyalty system points on it.

Storage is quite limited as well, and has costs, so it is literally more efficient in terms of 'account resources' to spread out and use every bit of storage in every node' and save the account resources for other things.

Ashes will be the same for the different reason mentioned by Otr above.

Nothing to say to Kovrm's 'you're lazy and incompetent' as it's not relevant to the conversation in this case, but I'm pretty interested to know if Intrepid's item/storage design people lean more towards the 'players who don't organize fully are lazy' or the 'We should make it easier for players to track their stuff'.

@Vaknar - tomorrow's Monday so I'm hittin' you up if you happen to know the above.
