Publish 1999 (Co-Owners)
Co-owners Nov 23 1999 2:50PM CST All of the features for co-owners are currently available for testing on the Test Center Shard.
Co-ownership will allow you to select trusted friends and allies to control some of the important functions of a house. This will allow more flexibility for house owners and provide a method for additional storage for those players who share houses.
Selecting Co-owners
Other characters on the same account as the house owner will be treated as co-owners unless:
They are already an owner or co-owner of another house.
You may select up to eight characters to be co-owners:
A co-owner may not be the owner of a house.
A co-owner may not be a co-owner of another house.
To select a co-owner:
Double click on your house sign.
Click the "friends" option.
Select "add a co-owner". A targeting cursor will appear.
Target and click on the character you wish to make a co-owner.
Removing a co-owner
Double click on your house sign.
Click the "friends" option.
Select "remove a co-owner".
A list of co-owners will appear, check the box next to the co-owner you wish to remove.
Co-owner Features
Co-owners will be able to do everything that an owner can, except:
Transfer ownership of the house.
Re-deed a house.
Add another co-owner.
Change the house locks.
Co-owners can also place one secure container, called a "strongbox".
To place a strongbox the co-owner must say, "I wish to place a strongbox". The strongbox will appear at your feet.
The strongbox can only be accessed by the co-owner who placed it and the owner of the house.
A strongbox can hold up to 25 items and has no weight restrictions. Note that the strongbox is a secure container, but items in the box do not count against the total number of lockdowns for that house. These strongboxes are additional storage.
A strongbox belonging to a co-owner that is removed will become unsecure (and subject to decay) as soon as it is accessed again.
Other characters on the same account that are being treated as co-owners will NOT be able to place a strongbox.
