Ok, let me explain how it will be based on conversations I had with Silverfrost and others at the Community Summit.
- Your house vault will no longer be used for selling, but you will still be able to use it for storage. You will no longer personally be able to sell items that are in your personal inventory, either.
- There will be new storage containers used as furniture within your housing that you'll use to place inventory within that you intend to sell. There will be some generic containers, and specialized containers. Specialized containers will handle more "points" of inventory, whereas generalized containers will handle less...but can handle more types of inventory.
- Examples of the above would be something like a weapon rack. You can only place weapons in the weapon rack, but it might handle something like 200 points of weapons (my own made up numbers here) whereas a generic "container" like a general display bin might only handle 80 points of inventory but you can put pretty much anything in it for sale (food, clothing, spell scrolls, collection drops, etc.).
- Housing type will determine how many different containers you can place within your home. This number is supposed to be independant of the item totals you can currently place within your home. So, a five room mansion which can currently hold 500 housing items might handle 8 containers (again, my made up number there), whereas a free starting house might only handle one or two.
- Brokers will remain as always. Only, you no longer have to wait for someone to be online to avoid broker fees. You'll ALWAYS be allowed to avoid broker fees in the new system by going to someone's house and buying directly from the new selling containers.
Again, this is only how I understood it, based on conversations with developers at the Atlanta Summit. Till it's in the game, it's not solid.
