Is there a way to link to agencies in two cities so detectives have access to both when traveling. I see some agencies have two sights. I have emailed people that are in the agencies that have two sights, but I have not heard anything back yet...just thought I would see if anyone knows on here.
My other question is when one person buys an apartment, I see it says you can invite people in to chat, but are they able to store cases with you or share the apartment? Is there a way more then one person can buy an apartment. I have only found very limited information on the apartments.

Lots of no's there. Agency first, you can only be in one. Agency's that have say a London and New York office are not linked but agents can quit one and join another heping them with AV hunts.
Apartments can only be owned by 1 person and guests can not store files or equipment but can chat if you have a lounge, use message boards if you have dinning room or read your books if you have a library.

So when people are treasure hunting and are out of town they never have access to files/equipment in the agency.

I did not mean to post that twice, but is there a reason why people have agencies then in two locations?

yeah just more agents than a single city agency. They are just branches of a larger organization.

Some of the reasons to have multiple agencies grouped together.

Better access to gear and case files when traveling on VH
Better access to cases on a Treasure hunt (note that favors do not import)
Better roleplaying access (rotating into different agencies to participate in different story lines)
More family members - when you work as a team it helps build stronger bonds
More sharing of information - the more people who work on an problem or search for clues on a new game feature the better

Most of the groups of agencies are set up in a way where they still compete against each other for TH, etc. After all people still want to know who the smartest brother is, grins.

I think it would be a great idea if the same agency can open branches in any city.... I mean where the detectives can access each branch without changing the membership of a particular agency.
