Safe storage in Boston (or not having them at all)

Well, what i propose is to have a "safe" inventory in Boston, for a fee. And not because i like it...people shouldn't have any way of safe storing things. But as things stand now, there are already two ways to have a "safe storage".
1)Alts
2)Stall - you just have not to set a price or to set an extremely high one - and since it is inherited and the stalls are in limited number, it is a form of storage also limited to the first people who got it, as long as they pay the weekly rent.

So, even if the developers find a way to settle the first problem, there's the second one anyway. So what i propose is having a form of safe storage cheaper than the stalls (so that people won't have to use the stalls as storage, thus permitting other people to use them as intended).
It may be an inventory with a small rent and a fee everytime you use it, for example. Maybe it could start small but could be extendable, something like 25s per slot, so that it starts as a 4*4 inventory and you can extend it to an 8*8 inventory.

Or they could find a way not to have safe storages and to avoid having people use the stalls as a form of storage. And it would be even better...

Pretty sure stalls can't be inherited(atm), as posted in this thread. IMO the only thing we should be able to store "safely" are silver coins, in the bank, so we don't have to keep silver/bank alts.

Just give us the option to rent safe deposit boxes at the bank in Boston.

I support it because it gives an in game mechanic to replace alt vaulting, which we all know will happen otherwise. And it adds yet another much needed silver drain to the economy.

Something like if you forget to pay rent (however that will work) your items are frozen until you pay a storage fee, something multiplied by the number of days of overdue rent. :roll:

Nah... just have to pay the past due rent first. If it goes more than 45 days (just pulling a number out of my hat), the items are lost.

Sold!
I would pay $2 per month - per slot, where I could either place a coin purse, a keyring or any other single item in that slot.
Let me rent up to 3 slots. Give me a 10% discount if I pre-pay for 12 months. Cash only, no silver.

I was going to say $X for a fixed size, but what you propose is just as good if there is a limited number of slots available (but not sure that would be all that special as it'd just be another encouragement for alt accounts).

Why cash only?

To generate recurring income for the game (like a $6/mo sub) without giving players a 'pay to win' advantage.

Pay for the convenience of not having to mess with a keymaster and coin alts.
