→Shared Stash
There has also been talk of finally implementing a '''Shared Stash'''. Finding and collecting items is a big part of the Diablo franchise but storing and transferring those items has always been an issue. [[Jay Wilson]] spoke to this problem in BlizzCast Episode 5, August 2008. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcast-episode-5-transcript/]
::"'''Jay Wilson:''' ...we really want to make it easier for you to be able to share and trade items with other people and other characters on the same account. We’ve talked about ideas like a shared stash, or a mail system like World of Warcraft has, and we haven’t nailed down exactly which one of those we want to do, but we’re definitely going to do something like that, that’s going to make it really easy for you if you’ve got, a Witch Doctor and a Barbarian character, and you find that awesome Witch Doctor drop and you want to share it, it’ll be super-easy to do that."
::'''Bashiok:''' so in other words, I won’t have to worry about my game closing after...
::'''Jay Wilson: '''No, no more opening up a game, dropping items on the ground, and you know, hoping that the game stays open or getting a friend to help out, no more of that. You should be able to do it on your own.
====2010 Update====
The system remained undeveloped nearly two years later, as Bashiok explained in a forum post in July 2010. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/shared-stash-still-just-a-dream/]
