Vault 2.0

By: Ransroth, Game Systems Engineer

Hi all, Ransroth here. I’m a Game Systems Engineer on The Lord of the Rings Online. In my last Dev Diary, I talked about the changes that we made for the Volume III Book 2 launch. Since then, we’ve been working on even more improvements, much of it inspired by your feedback on the forums!

Here’s a screenshot, showing many of the new features:

Chest Separators and Renaming Chests

Instead of one long list, the main view is now broken out into chests, each with its own name and header. You can rename a chest to anything you like by double-clicking it, right-clicking it, or clicking the “Rename” button.

While editing the name, hit enter to confirm the new name or esc to cancel editing. You can also use the Submit and Cancel buttons that appear on the right hand side.

Chests that don’t contain any items are not shown. To rename a chest, you will need to place at least one item into it.

You can use drag and drop to rearrange items between chests – dragging an item from one chest to another will move it to that chest, and when depositing items from the inventory or shared storage, dropping an item on the chest will move it there.

Chest Tabs

Instead of the “Chest” dropdown menu, there are now tabs on the right-hand-side of the window. Clicking on a tab will show only the items in that particular chest

You can drag and drop items onto a chest tab to move them to that chest.
