Houses

Every account can have one house (and one ship). A house is yours for good: it does not decay and pays no tax. Read the rules before you choose the spot.

The deed

Architects sell house deeds: in Britain, Minoc, Moonglow and Skara Brae. Double click the architect and buy it from the shop like anything else. The plot is the ground the house takes, in tiles; storage is how many things it holds locked down or in its chests.

Some houses are sold under two deed names (a "Small Stone House" and a "Deed to a small stone house"): the house is the same.

Placing it

With the deed in your backpack, double click it. The house appears see-through under the pointer: move it until it stands where you want it and click. Its front edge goes on the spot you click; Esc cancels.

The game refuses the spot when:

• someone stands where the house would go: "(name) está en medio" (is in the way);
• the ground is uneven: "El terreno es demasiado irregular para construir aquí" (the ground is too uneven);
• something stands on the plot or right beside it: a tree, a rock, a wall;
• part of it would be on a road, a path or bare earth: houses go on even grass.

Once placed, its key goes to your backpack and a spare one to your bank box.

The sign's menu

Stand at your door and double click the sign beside it (from anywhere else it answers "Ponte en la entrada de tu casa para abrir su menú", stand at your house's entrance). Its five tabs:

• Información: the owner, whether it is private, when it was built, its value and its visits.
• Seguridad: co-owners, friends and the access list (view, add, remove, empty); public or private; change the locks.
• Almacén: how much it holds, how much is locked down or secured and how much is left.
• Personalizar: the sign's colour and the house's name.
• Propiedad: transfer it, put it up for sale, or take it down.

Under every tab, Dar acceso and Quitar acceso (give or take entry to someone) and Echar (send someone out).

Adding a friend asks you to point at them, and they read "Ahora eres amigo de esta casa" (you are now a friend of this house). Each person is on one list at a time: to make a friend a co-owner, take them off the friends first.

What you say inside

Inside your house, say these out loud (in the chat line) and point at the thing:

The house also knows mover norte, mover sur, mover este, mover oeste, banco, echar, vetar, poner papelera, quitar papelera, ordenes de la casa; those are not tried yet.

Giving it back

In Propiedad, Quitar la casa offers two ways, with the figures of your house:

• Back to a deed (Volver a escritura y llevar todo al banco): costs a tenth of its value; the deed returns to your backpack and what was inside goes to your bank. With the deed you can place it again elsewhere.
• Demolish (Demoler y destruir lo que hay dentro): your bank gets its value back less a twentieth, and what was inside is destroyed.

Transferring a house to another player and selling it use the trade window, which the browser does not show yet. Buying more storage (Comprar in Almacén, up to double) is not tried yet.
