I have a few questions about this:

1. Down payment stated for a particular type of office... That is in total, right? If it is say, 5000 dollars, and you can have a max of 2 detectives, each can pay 2500, I mean? So it is not like you have to pay $2500 each in advance?

How about the rent? The amount stated for rent... That's the amount needed in total, too, right? So if the stated amount is 100 dollars, the smallest office with two detectives can be hired if each pays $50, right?

2. What does case files per detective mean? The daily number of cases increases by the number stated?

3. As long as one can afford it, is it ok to open up an agency just to play more times a day than an independent detective(one without agency I mean) allowed(more than 12 times a day? like 14 times if the office allows 2 case files per detective?)

If so, do we have an option to close the office for good? Or is not paying for the rent the only option? In that case are there any penalties?

(I want to rent one just to be able to play more times a day, butI don't think I will want to keep the office later on in the game unless we're given a chance to move to a better one as long as we pay the rest of it)

1.) the downpayment is a total amount and if you and another person open it you both pay half of it using a letter of credit. The amount you pay in agency rent is a total amount and it is automatically taken OUT of the agency safe at turnover time (server reset) So, basically after you open the agency you need to deposit money from your detective, in to the agency safe, as that is where the rent is taken out.

2.) Case files per detecitve means you can store your 12 cases for a later time. So, out of your 12 daily cases, you can store say 2 case files a day (this 2 is depending on how many the agency will allow). This is for EACH detective. If you store them in the files you will not lose them at reset.

Your daily case limit will NOT increase, sorry!

3.) See above answer!

Basically, opening an agency is for people who want to have other peouple with them and store cases and share equipment and write on a message board, and do TH's.

It does NOT allow you to gain more cases a day (12 is the limit), but it does mean that you can store cases from your daily 12 limit and come back at a later time to finish them.

Thank you Lady Jas =)

It's beacuse I have come across some newbie questions like mine on that thread that I posted my question there.

I thought there was something categorical about agency questions and that I was expected to post them there. Seems I was wrong about that.

Thanks a lot for the transfer and the detailed reply:)

No problem Eden. There are a lot of stuff that is mentioned, a lot of which you asked, in the "Agency Qeustions" thread in the recruitment board, that is stickied at the top. It was originally posted by Amber Woodlock. Take a look in there as well, you might find more information useful to you as well.
