2025, March, 25. I've read it in an Elder Scroll.

No ETA™.

They've been pretty adamant in their statements that there is no Storage Increase tied to Player Housing whatsoever.

Present or Future.

Just at the top of my head I can think of lots of ideas that this would be doable, such as using in-game gold to buy dressers, safeboxes, etc. for extra inventory slots. E.g. pay 250g to get a sack for one extra slot, 500g for a safebox with 2 slots, 1000g for a dresser with 4 slots. You can only buy once every 20 hours, just like the stable inventory upgrades. ESO members get discounts. And you can add slots to existing containers, just like the backpack upgrades. Future updates would including more containers that we could buy: barrels, crates, weapon racks, wardrobes, nightstands, etc. And if they worry about abuse, add restrictions such as items are accessible only in the home, items are bound (i.e. unsellable) once put in containers, etc.

Probably after they fix the lag in PVP.....

What is everyone's obsession with storage? No MMO I've played that had housing had storage with it. Just get them to increase the bank/bag size or something.

@billp_ESO it vexes you? like they lured you in and then POUNCED on your wallet?

I understand, really I do! once you perceive it as a betrayal its hard to see it any other way
...but you are much with The Wrong, The Wrong is strong with You.

its a flexible business model which is all to The Good, the lovely money supply is neither stagnant nor high risk.
& unfortunately for all us Gamers the micro transactions model proved itself a million times over, I blame Candy Crush!

personally I'm really hoping Homestead storage won't be one of the things we only buy in the Crown Store!
so far other than the DLC themselves there's hardly anything in the CS that you can't get with gold in the game...
you can buy a mount, you can earn costumes through quests, you can pay gold to get more storage, you & CAN'T pay crowns to up your storage past the set limit.

I gotta say this....and it's not directed at anyone specific but so many threads continue to contain sharp comments about ZOS has to find a way to charge money for X....that's why we don't have it yet or whatever complaint or questions that's brought up tends to contain a monetary opinion comment.


Ya know....if you truly don't like that, stop writing it

This is probably aimed at me, I have posted several sharp comments about why ZOS didn't include storage in housing. I'm not sure what you are trying to say though.

I grew up playing MMO's where you paid a fee, and played the game. Like DAOC. I am unhappy with the current method of providing some parts of a game, and then charging more for the rest of it, even if I'm paying a sub.

And in this case, I believe (without any actual knowledge) that ZOS decided to postpone providing storage in housing mainly because they haven't planned how to charge for it. I think this is a bad way to design a game.

@billp_ESO

It's really not directed at any specific person. It's a general comment hoping others think about how such a comment could influence something that isn't in the works.

I played DAoC as well as many other subscription based MMO server games.
I've also played many MMO server games that were F2P or Buy and place with dlc that you paid for.

Regardless of our experiences in prior games I'm just saying or hoping people would read my comment and not make monetary suggestions towards different things that we all lack knowledge on if/when/how those things may be added.

Especially in the case of storage....

Possibly like craft bags - ESO+ for in-home storage

ZOS tried subscription-required. It did not work. They did not start off the game as subscription-required as some kind of weird tease. They wanted the game to work the way you are saying. But not enough people subscribed. People really hate subscription-required games nowadays. If you have a playerbase grandfathered in, like WOW, it can work. But getting a large, sustainable new playerbase in a subscription-required game is extraordinarily difficult. ESO is not the only game to try this recently and not be able to make it work. I blame the players more than the devs. Not all players or any particular players. I just mean that some of us have been here from the start. Paid the subscription when it was subscription-required. Would have liked the game to stay that way. But there were not enough people like that.

I mean ZOS were called horrible, greedy, evil, soulless corporate hacks when the game was announced as subscription-required. Then they dropped the subscription requirement and added a cash shop and got called ... horrible, greedy, evil, soulless corporate hacks. So it seems like they can't win.

@Dagoth_Rac

The sub didn't work because....the game was more problematic to play for many.

The other issue is TES folks didn't want an MMO server game, they wanted a sequel to play with a hand full of friends.

Then those who did want a MMO....didn't get one

That's why it didn't and won't work
(My opinion obviously based on observations and side conversations)

All my real life hardcore TES friends are playing Skyrim and Oblivion on Xbox one and quit ESO after 3 months if that
