Right now the only method players have of organizing their items inside their house is using Backpacks.. though this is effective it is not very realistic in the whole emersion aspect. Is there any plans on making already existing furniture have the capacity to have open storage windows. For example can the Chest be able to hold items in it. (note this is not asking to increase storage limits of a house but more or less giving Chest/ armoire/ cabinet type furniture the function to be able to replace backpacks as the only source of organizing items in our houses..)
There are no current plans to change this, but this topic is near and dear to my heart. I would very much like to see chests, armoire or other type of in-game cabinet act as a storage container. While researching the answer to this question, I discovered that all that has to be done is modify their in-game image so that it inherits its functionality from the container. I’m told this isn't hard to do and as a result, I’m checking into when this might possibly be sneaked (or snuck if you prefer ) onto the schedule."
Ya it appears all they'd have to do is take an existing container object and apply different artwork. Big surprise there. /rolleyes.

To be fair, TH isn't a coder. Non-programmers may have vague notions about how software works, but I don't expect them to understand OOP concepts.
Ya you're right Bober.

To me this suggests that the actual programmmers haven't had the opportunity (or haven't taken the opportunity) to see the raw user input. I know that TH's job is to be a spokesman / liason and protect the devs from the noise, but once a list of questions gets tightened up (as we have in the past) then it is usually benificial to show the actual developers the customer input.
Um, I'd bet a paycheck on this!
