1.My main gripe, followed by a suggestion - Item caps on homes: From what I understand it's currently 50 for small, 100 for medium and 150 for large (correct me if I'm wrong, which I hope I am).This also includes items in a vendor (again, I hope I'm wrong). That makes absolutely no sense. Any home you go in, of any size, of any time period, has more than 50 items, 100 items, or even 150 items.Star Wars is set in the future, right?Part of the fun of the game (for me at least - I'm such a girl) was checking out the creativity that other players put into their homes by adding little details like food and drinks on the table or for you manly types, weapons hanging on the walls, etc..(you get the idea). Not to mention, decorating my own home.So you aren't walking into cookie cutters homes that are bland and boring. I've been having a blast these last few weeks running all around the galaxy, meeting new people, finding just the right things to decorate my house with. By capping the amount of items a person has in their home and/or business, not only is this patch stiffling the creativity of individuality but also effecting the economy of the game, in all facets. For example, architects who, Ibet, are experiencing a sharp decline in sales, to their suppliers, etc.. Mater Tailors as well. How are they supposed to show their wares off? We will be forced to wear the same outfits over and over again (the horror) because we can't store them in my armoir (that doesn't work),which I can't buy because I can't put it in my big empty house because of item caps. Trickle down economics. What about merchants who have abusiness but no furniture because the items they are putting up for sale in their vendors take up all their home caps - blech! The fact that there was no warning either,took me by surprise. However, if there have to be caps, at least make it a more reasonable amount - like 1k. My suggestion would be to remove the cap completely but if that is out of the questiona considerationof upping the maintenance cost for the amount of items a person puts into their home. After all, the more stuff you have, the more it costs to maintain it.

2. Inventory screen, exclamation points and skill tree: Gah! Not sure why this was changed, but I can barely see what's in my inventory screen anymore and can't find a way to fix it (and from reading the forums, there isn't a way to fix it). Same with the skill tree, the colors are so close together, you can't tell what skills you have or haven't learned. The exclamation points over the NPC's head are just plain annoying.

Steps off her soapbox,

"Soon" hopefully they will up the items per-lot on the live servers, here are the notes from the TC patch this morning.

08/13/2003 07:54 AM Update Notes 8/13/03 B

Fixed a bug where vendors and the items in the vendors' inventory count against your overall house limit.

Fixed a bug where inventory would misreport values when at max capacity.

Fixed a bug where you could overload your inventory using equipped backpacks and nested containers.

All factory crates now have a volume of 1.

House limits are now 75 per lot (instead of 25 per lot), with a max capacity of 250.

Fixed Creature Difficulty display on the pet control device.

Allows a Creature Handler to call a creature if the creature's *current* level is low enough.

Added correct error messages explaining why a particular creature cannot be called.

Fixed a problem where a backpack wouldn't show up in inventory if it was equipped along with a particular dress, robe, or cloak.
