Have these things ever been raised as an issue with the devs? The one I would most like to see changed is the PA Hall storage limit. With a combat only character I would much rather (if I can afford) have a grand showplace likea PA Hall to show off my things instead of a Medium or Large but it would be very useful if there was some rhyme or reason to the lot/storage ratio.
Right now we have (not sure about smalls so I won't include them):
- Medium Houses - 2 Lots - 150 Storage = 75 per lot
- Large Houses - 6 Lots - 250 Storage= 41 per lot
- PA Halls - 9 Lots - ??? Storage
A better way to do things might be:
- Medium Houses - 2 Lots - 150 Storage = 75 per lot
- Large Houses - 6 Lots - 450 Storage = 75 per lot
- PA Hall - 9 Lots - 675 Storage = 75 per lot
Why oh why couldn't we do this? If I could get 600+ storage from a PA Hall I would buy one in a minute to use asa house.

Id prefer alternate Guild Halls kinda like the city hall with fixed seating arrangements allready in place 1 main meeting room with 50 chairs +1 small/medium extra room,150 storage 2 lots with the requirement of there being a 10 person guild attached to it and max 1 per guild, to get rid of that waste of space that is the current PA halls

Yeah do a few searches on my name alone.
We, who have been basically been called very disturbing things from SOE through TH (even off the cuff), do take exception every single time this issue is ignored. Unfortunately, you start spending so much time banging your head against the wall and you suddenly realize that they're (SOE) basically going to ignore any player concerns no matter how much said players support the system.
So good luck. I'm personally getting tired of good (10+ months) friends I've made continuing to quit this game over being ignored and if I fume over it the path looks better and better.

We have been complaining about this since October I believe. The story went something like this
We had lots of storage in houses, things were great.
The devs saw the database filling up faster and faster then they thought possible.
Dev solution, ok everyone gets 50 items per lot for their house.
We scream.
Devs, ok everyone gets 75 items per lot. Oh except everything will have a cap of 250 no matter how many lots.
We scream again, they implement it anyway saying it is a temporary solution until they get software/hardware resolution to the database.
I suppose it is temporary as long as they change it 1 day before they shutdown the game.

I have run out of space to store things. I was looking to buy a larger house (medium or Large) but why would I do that? I noticed that I get 250 storage space, but for 6 lots? I can have 3 small houses and 450 storage space for 6 lots. Is this information correct? Is there any reason to buy a large or medium house?

To showthat you are a combat-only person, who only needs the house toexhibitfurniture and trophies.

For that matter, you can buy 6 factories and have 600 in storage--1200 if you actually use the factories. It's all a question of priorities. Do you need storage? Go with factories. Do you want someplace nice to hang your hat? Go for the large house, it's a little more prestigious than a factory.

There are also asthetic reasons as well. I'll usually take a medium over a small (both are mostly two lots and hold 150) because I like the layout. I keep a medium for my shop/personal house, and smalls for storage. I know of a few people who use large houses, but not many, but they sure are pretty... except for the Corellian, but I don't like any of the corellian houses.

So it is true then...that is sad...I dont understand why a medium house uses so many lots...oh well..thanks for the answers you saved me a little dough. I didnt realize factories could be used as storage so Im definitely going that way.

Neither do we mate, neither do we. Unfortunately we have no developers that speak for us.
