Items in house disappearing

**Solidchrome** · 7th August 2007, 08:45 AM

Ive lost a chest in my new house with tonnes of stuff in it. The chest was there this morning but now its gone. The house is marked private and Im 99% sure it was locked down. Is there something else I should be doing?

That covers it. What usually happens, we forget to "lock" it down

.

One suggestion I would recommend. I always try to pick up what ever I just locked down. That way I'm sure it is locked down.

Also try avoid rearranging lockdowns/secures close to server maintainence times, or when there are shard crashing issues with possibly reverts causing you to lose items that you thought were locked down. I never do house building or moving around new publishes either. If there was any server down times and you had been rearranging your goods, get back in as soon as possible to confirm things are secured/locked down.

Try pressing the ctrl & shift buttons at the same time and see if it listed as being there. Sometimes things get lost and I can retrieve it that way. Also could try going into custom mode and see if it pops out under the house sign. Things not locked down such as chests will pop out of house when going into customize mode.

Otherwise ... sorry for your loss .. did the same thing myself the other day. Forgot to secure a container of Tailsmen ... (125 of em) ... oh well things can be replaced

Have you looked in your moving crate? (Where you select Relocate Moving Crate on the house menu) Just a thought.
