Give Gold the Weight it Deserves!

[Glowfire]

As I recall, Bags of Holding cause lag when opened/used. There were a few given out to players waaay back to test but I don't think there were any conclusions made.

I didn't like to play with separate instances of cp, sp and gp and then having weights to them. It became an inventory mini game.

only way such a thing as this could be implemented is if there was a way to store gold somewhere as well as a way to transport that gold from one place to another. There would need to be some way to transfer large amounts of gold without putting it on your person. If someone saves up 500K for the +4 DEX gloves at Doron Amar they need a way to get that 500K from the Bank (presumably in BG) to Doron Amar for the purchase of said gloves.

Personally I think it would be more effort than its worth. Plus I despise any thought of having yet another forced inventory item to deal with. My inventories invariably get overfilled on my toons with RP items, spare equipment/weapons, unique/interesting potions or scrolls I find, etc. 3 dead inventory slots is quite enough IMO.

add 5th and 6th inventory slot for everyone and we will all be so happy
