...there should be an "apt" tag after the word bonus in the tags on the detective page so that you don't have to go to the map to click on empire apartments to get to your apartment. you should be able to click right to it by using "apt" in the same way you can click to "agency" to bring up an agency from the detective profile page.

I think it's a bad idea. The tab would only be there when you're in the city that it's in. Sometimes I would like to know if my friends have apts and where just by looking at their page, but I'm not sure they want me to know.

A fifth room apartment with your own private elevator, perhaps? :D

I need an extra room to put in my equipments and store some cases. And besides, I've got money to burn - er, as long as Shady doesn't show up on my doorstep. :D

I always keep enough cash in case he does. When i look at my 'wealth', i automatically delete Shady's 'cut' in my head.

Personally i'd just open a new window for my 'closet' (either agency locker or apartment room). That way, i don't need to run back and forth across town. That's my little worm hole :-)

you can stash stuff in an apt??
hmmm
I see subcribing on the horizon!
Wait, if other people can "visit" can they swipe your stuff too?? there's that lock picking and safe cracking skills. Can they break into your apt??

Nope. there are different types of furniture,
some people cannot see and cannot access
some people can see but cannot access etc etc.
(true veteran please correct me if i'm wrong)

Also, people can visit your apartment only if you invite them to. So far, i've only been invited into an apartment once (and only recently)... *sigh* maybe i should just stay in my cave....

You are right Joseph. You can buy furniture and store your equipment there same as you store equipment in your agency locker. You can only access the appartment if you are invited!

Visitors can view the rooms and furniture but have no access to the equipment kept in the furniture. They cannot see what you have stored nor can they take it, even with their Lockpicking skill. The Display Case is the only piece of furniture that visitors can see through but again can't access the equipment inside.

Visitors can view the cases kept in the Case File if you have one but can't access the cases.

If you have a Bookshelf and a few books visitors can read them and gain a few experience points this way. Visitors can't take the books away.

There are rooms, like a dining room, which have a message board where you can leave messages to the owner of the appartment.

I don't think I've forgotten anything. Anyway Joseph you seem so put down not having been invited to appartments that I have taked pity on you. I will send you an invite to my appartment in Shanghai. There's not much to do or see, I don't have a message board nor a library but if ever we get to add a 5th room, I'm getting a bookshelve and you can visit and read my books ;-D

i'm rather new to apartments, and you can find a lot of this stuff on other threads, but here goes.

first, the people visiting your apartment have to be INVITED. Yes, they can come at any time. no lock picking needed.

next, yes, they can SEE the furniture and accoutrements/stuff you have. No they cannot remove anything, from the furniture to items you have stashed in cabinets, to cases filed in desks. Those last two are more of a problem than you'd think sometimes because it means that the apartment's OWNER has to be the one to remove them.

i'm told you can also MOVE your apartment if you happen to change base cities. i have no idea how this is done, but i do know that to move the apartment or BUY new stuff for it, you have to be subscribed.

there's other stuff out there about the apartments. Happy hunting, both for it and the actual flat! L
