Managing your household
Once you have placed your house and added the finishing touches to the design, you will want to make the place a little more livable. You can add furniture and chests to store your belongings in, have vendors working out of your house, and decide who will have access to the place.
Even if you are not fortunate enough to have your own house, another player may make you a Friend or Co-owner of his or her house, which will give you certain privileges. In that case, you will want to read this section as well!
Storage and lockdowns
You can decorate your house simply by placing furniture in it... but you will want to prevent this furniture from being stolen! You can do so by uttering the words 'I wish to lock this down', and then indicating the item to lock. After doing so, the item cannot be moved, taken, consumed or destroyed until it is released again.
If you wish to release and move an item, utter the words 'I wish to release this' and click the item to release.
Locking down and releasing items which you use frequently can be tedious, besides, you may wish others to have access to these items as well. That is where secure containers come in. You can make a container (such as a bag or chest) secure by uttering the words 'I wish to secure this' and then clicking the container. Items placed in a secure container are safe from theft or decay: they will remain in the container indefinitely, and only the house owner and designated other players can open the container and take the items out.
When you secure a container, or when you single-click an already-secured container, you will have the option to set itssecurity level.. This determines who can access the secure container: anyone, friends (and co-owners), co-owners only, or only the house owner. This allows you to have certain containers in your house to which all friends of the house have access, and another container accessable only by yourself, in which you can store your private belongings.
You can place a trash barrel by saying 'I wish to place a trash barrel' The barrel will appear where you are standing. Anything put in the barrel will be deleted after 2 minutes. You can destroy the trash barrel by using an axe on it.
Since the Age of Shadows, co-owners of the house can no longer place strongboxes.
Friends, Co-owners and security
You can choose if your house is to be public or private.. This determines the basic security of your house:
- Public: Anyone at all can enter your house, unless they are banned.
- Private: No one can enter your house, unless they are made co-owner, friend, or placed on the access list.
You can change your house security to public or private, place people on the access list, add/view or delete co-owners and friends, and ban people, from the Security page of the house menu. When you need to ban someone right away, you can also say 'I ban thee' and click the offending player to ban him. Saying 'remove thyself' will cause the player to be removed from your house, but not banned ie. he can re-enter the house if he wants to. Oh, and banning and removing works on monsters, too!
Short of making your house completely private, you can restrict access to certain parts of your house. Doors are no longer locked with a key, but doors and teleporters can be restricted for the use by co-owners or friends only. Click on a door or teleporter to bring up the context menu, and set the desired access level.
So what are these co-owners and friends? Well, if you want grant another player certain privileges in your house, you make him a friend or a co-owner. The following list shows what friends, co-owners and the house owner can do:
| Role | Privileges |
|---|---|
| Friend | *Ban a player or lift a ban
