Housing Instructions
So you've got your free house and you have no idea how to use it? Here are some pointers.

Houses are owned by one character per account only. Other characters on the same account will have to be co-owned by a GM. We will be happy to co-own all characters on your account, just let us know if you need it.
If you choose to make your house public, please be sure to secure your containers. Only the owner and co-owners have the ability to open secured containers.
Vendors may be placed in private houses if you wish, the vendor count on your sign won't work anyway.
YOU WILL HAVE TO REFRESH YOUR HOUSE! On average once per week. If you are unable to refresh your house, email Andrella and she will refresh it for you.
Refresh houses by double-clicking the house sign, NOT the door.
To view a list of commands in game, type 'House Help' in your house
To lock things down in your house, type 'I wish to lock this down'
To release things in your house, type 'I wish to release this'
To secure things down in your house, type 'I wish to secure this'
To ban others from your house, type 'I ban thee'
To eject others from your house, type 'Remove thyself'
To place a trash barrel in your house, type 'I wish to place a trash barrel' (besure to stand where you want your trash barrel placed)
To remove a trash barrel from your house, type 'I wish to remove this'
To remove a house add-on, type 'I wish to remove this'
To place a strongbox in your house, type 'I wish to place a strongbox'. This option is for co-owners only.

Boating Instructions

Boat commands:

Raise Anchor
Drop Anchor

Turn Left
Turn Right

Any player on board can now command the ship. So be sure your boat is locked up or anyone can board it and take it! Watch out for pirates! :)

You must manually lock and unlock your boats (including the hatch) by double-clicking the key and targeting the hatch or plank.

If your client crashes (or you log out) while on a boat you will now be teleported to your boat when you log back in.
