A "storage chest" would be a separate base folder that would be different in that it would not be used in search or automatically downloaded.

The goal is to let the user store seldom used items or backups of earlier versions without slowing down the regular inventory system.

The intent would be that the items in the "Storage chest" would be stored in a separate asset server with the same key. This separate asset server would also back up all of the user's items.

The main inventory would then be limited to ~1,000 unique items by bugging the user with a popup when they log in with more items.

The "storage chest" folder would not have default sub folders since you can't wear anything in the folder without first coying or moving it to the main inventory.

----
The first step would be to create the folder and just exclude it from inventory search.
This alone would make it faster to log into the "beta grid" since the "Storage chest" would not be copied over.

I like the storage chest idea, but not the 1,000 limit. 5,000 would be more reasonable. As a scripter and builder and av creator, I need LOTS of space.
