In general these questions are about all furniture, but I was looking at furniture being sold at Guildfest, in Bunglefoot's Tent.

1) Must you already actually own a home to buy furniture, or can you buy furniture for a home you plan to buy and it'll be there when I buy the home?

2) Some clarification, please: If I buy a home and buy furniture for it and for whatever reason I'm forced to sell the home, or God forbid cancel my DR account, anything that forces me to close the home or leave the realms, my furniture will still be safe and be there when and if I return to the realms, or buy a new home? I'd hate to buy furniture and loose it because circumstances beyond my control force me to close the home and or leave the realms.

2b. If you sell your home, the furniture transfers ownership too. So it will still exist, but you won't own it.

If you have a trusted friend, you could ask them to use an alt to keep the house for you, and even buy a house for you now to decorate in advance of you owning it. They can even set you as a guest so that you have some
access to the home's mechanics.

Its best to think of homes as a money sink, not an investment. Less disappointment that way.

Evran tries, he really does. But...

1) No more losing your home furniture if you downgrade. Rather than deleting your furniture when the home is emptied, the contents are saved. When you return and try to claim a new home, the old furniture is set up in the new home. You will lose your physical home, just not the furniture or other contents.

2) HOME RECLAIM - when/if you downgrade and lose access to the home, you can use this to retrieve non-furniture items from the home. This ONLY works after the home has been unhoused (reclaimed by the system), as that's when the items are moved from the home to the special storage. Folks may have to wait 15-30 days from the time of status loss before being allowed to use this. A check is made to see if you have old items from a previous home, and if so, you MUST reclaim them before being allowed to get a new one.

I haven't tested this myself, as I've always been premium, but I haven't seen anything come out later removing this.

Ok, so.. furniture IS saved. I knew I had read this before, or swore I did but I couldn't find it and wasn't 100% sure. Knowing furniture is saved, now I will invest in homes.

Another thing, you still can only place/store containers on a surface only if they're empty, correct?
