    Can we get some?

    I miss the organisation they allow. If you don't use the list inventory interface right now, your pack is a huge mess without the ability to use bags.

    For example:
    Someone's inventory (bank) in UO
    Note the bags, chests and pouches organising the contents.

    For the List Inventory we could just use drop downs for bags, expanding or collapsing the bag.

    Isn't there craftable ones? I think tailors can make some. We don't have variety yet but I am sure I have seen them for sale in public auction.

    Maybe I am wrong, hopefully someone knows better than I.

    I know exactly how you feel though, I use classic UO bag management or lack of currently. :)

    I think it is a sack, and its used like a chest or a trunk for your housing storage.

    Ah that licks balls, yeah we need the little pouch then. Just until things get going, tide us over, because like Fikule my bag looks like a bomb went off. :).

    go to your options menu, and there is a list option for your bag.

    There are bags, sacks, backpacks that are craftable, but no pouches yet.

    We need an NPC provisioner that sells bags, though... the fact that you have to rely on crafting or trading with players for something so basic to inventory organization is a bit annoying. A provisioner would sell things like bags, torches, lockpicks, bedrolls, etc, like in the single-player Ultimas.

    I'd also want the free inventory slots back that were in earlier builds, so you can have some bags on you that aren't directly in your backpack.

    This I know, it is like that as default when you start. I am not a fan of it, but I do currently switch between them at times. Just as a preference I like classic mess. :)

    I sorely miss the provisioner. The first time I saw 'general store' on the map for Kingsport, I rushed there thinking, 'ooo pouches, maybe a lantern with oil to replace the torch or whatever.' But nope! I get an alchemist, didn't expect that. :)

    Not very general, quite specific you might say. :p

    I agree, except the bags or any type of storage container should hold way less then what a crafter can make, or then what's the point???? And it should cost a lil more then what it cost crafters to produce ... That's how it was in mostly all games I played that allowed craftable containers of all sorts.... The higher you are in the skill... the more storage your containers held etc.... BUT NPC's only sold the lower end containers that you can buy or craft. Crafting being better quality...

    Well yea, players should always be able to undercut the prices of NPCs; that's common sense.

    Hold way less? I don't know, a bag should be able to hold based on whatever its size is, not some random number, and there should be bags and pouches of several sizes sold by NPCs. Players could always create a more diversity of sizes, enhance them with special fabrics, dye them, or make them fancy in any number of ways.

    As long as I can make something that is "better" = "more likely to be needed" by the player than the NPC version, I'd be ok with it. If it's anything like augmented armor/repair kits, please :(.

    Is there a way or will there be a way to sort your inventory list by bags? Like custom tabs where you can create filters or maybe even give a bag or pouch a custom name that you can click on to see what is in that bag alone?

    At least while using the "List Mode" we could have the ability to create custom tabs and set custom filters on those tabs for easy sorting and moving from inventory to bank or bank to inventory etc.

    Nope. If you have a backpack or bag in inventory and put things in it, those items still show up in your inventory in the List view. So, they don't help organize the List view. If you want to experiment, contact me in-game and ill give you a bag and/or backpack. In-game name is 'Monkeysmack'.

    Resurrecting this - what NPC sells containers?

    Im about to resort to crafting a the backpack that one starts with in the tailoring recipies, but I really want a chest. The NPCs above many bankers have "public cache chests" which cost 20k gold (ouch!). I just want a "normal" chest to stick my things so i can stop using my private vendor as a chest.

    Thinks you have to craft one or buy one from a public/player vendor? Fairly easy to make I think? Couple of trees and a few tools would be all you needed.
