Well, I'll throw a little more talk into the arena.  I think we could get
by with two things:  a bank, and a depository.  The bank will keep money
for you (but won't give interest).  If you die, your next character can
inherit your bank account (minus a handling fee, perhaps).

The depository would contain safe deposit boxes where people could leave
items.  There would be a daily charge for this sort of thing, and you can't
retrieve your items until you've paid the costs.

Opinions?

Cheers,
Geoff.
