Publish 1999 (Cleanup Phase II)
Phase II (Lock downs and Secures) Nov 23 1999 2:25PM CST Lock Down and Secure Containers As part of Phase II, the number of secure containers and locked down items will be increased for most house types. The numbers are detailed below. The total items column is the maximum number of items that can be stored in each house. Designating a container as secure will take up 125 of your lockdowns, regardless of how many items you actually put in the secure container. Note that containers within a container do not have a weight limit. This allows players to forego secure storage for more lockdowns. Secure containers do not have weight limits.

These changes, along with the ability to lock down stackable items and the removal of weight restrictions from secure containers and bank boxes, should offer you adequate room to store your most valuable and useful items and decorate your home.
You will also be able to lockdown containers and the items inside of them. These items will not be subject to decay once locked down in the container. Saying "I wish to lock this down" on a container will:
Count the items that can be locked down inside the container. Check the available number of lockdowns you have left for your house. If you have enough lockdowns available, the system will lock all items down, including the container, and report success. If you do not have enough lockdowns available, the system will report the failure and give the reason. Releasing a locked down container will automatically release all of the items in it.
Locked down items can be used in the following manner:
Only the owner, co-owner, and friends of the house may use or take items from a locked down stack.
