I remember tents. this was your house you could afford. It had 1 chest. This was pre-lockdowns.
I've always loved the look of tents! I didn't enjoy them as much in-game as I thought I would because a lot of people just used them to block good house spots but there were some nicely placed ones too. Especially the few I saw on the roofs of other houses.
What did you mean by pre-lockdowns? All I remember is lockdowns... I think there weren't any secures way back when, which is why house looting was so easy and rampant. If you could get in, you could grab everything except the locked down containers.
My first character's name was Tang Shen. I first made gold by stealing books off the shelves near the North Jhelom Island docks and selling them to NPCs. The first guild I joined was S^K (Stars of Kismet) which was based in Jhelom. They were a bunch of very nice folks, craft loving pre-Trammel Trammies, who got slaughtered on every single dungeon outing. Literally could not beat any PK even with 8v1 odds.
