MMO inventories are often ignored systems unless they’re either annoying or exceptional. Some hate the limitations they impose while others appreciate the tough choices that bag space presents. I always appreciate inventories that go the extra mile with search and sort functions.
In fact, one of my all-time favorite MMO inventory systems is found in Fallen Earth. Not only was the player given a fixed number of inventory slots but a weight limit as well. Weird as it is to say, assigning weight to objects gave them more significance in my mind. Ore “felt” heavier and I was often torn between keeping a lot of cheaper items or a few weighty, lucrative finds.
