My Suitcase - I have heard recent complaints about the system. When you travel to another grid your inventory is blocked except for 1) items you are already wearing and 2) items in "My Suitcase".
At Holoneon we decided to make it user configurable. If you want to turn off the "My Suitcase" feature and have access to your full inventory when going to an HG destination, you can issue a command in local chat. You can also check the status and re-enable My Suitcase using a command.
Here are the commands:
Commands
/19341 suitcase on
/19341 suitcase off
/19341 suitcase status
/19341 suitcase default
"default" turns it "on" (the Holoneon grid default)
NOTE: you have to set your preference _before_ teleporting to an HG destination.

Awesome feature to have as a user-configurable option! It might be useful to mention the security trade-off as well, so users can make an informed choice.
As I understand it, "My Suitcase" acts as a security boundary during Hypergrid travel, limiting the part of your inventory that is exposed to a foreign grid. Disabling that restriction gives you the convenience of accessing your full inventory, but also increases what a potentially untrusted or malicious foreign grid may be able to query or access.
Of course, the suitcase isn't absolute protection either, assets you wear, rez or otherwise use abroad necessarily have to be made available to the destination grid.
Maybe worth adding a short warning to the command/documentation, especially since trust and security policies differ quite a bit between grids.

it's true, it's there for a reason. but now people can turn it on an off if they want. i didn't want to make a grid-wide decision to disable the My Suitcase feature. so there's a compromise.
