==== Joining ====This section is mainly for those who wish to join a village and attempts to explain what to be on the look out for and how to maximise your personal security when living on someone else's land. When you join a settlement it's good practice to check to see what type of politics are involved. If the village is a non-democracy (dictatorship) then the mayor may revoke your citizenship at any time potentially leaving you unable to collect your items. This is more crucial should there be gates or buildings you need to pass to do soas the mayor may lock these and deny you, or anyone, passage.==== Your house ====Building, or owning the writ to, a house on a mayor's settlement comes with some level of security but there are a few points that must be taken into consideration. For the sake of this section we will assume that no-one has been added to the house writ as a guest.'''The mayor may do any of the following (non-exhaustivelist)''':
Save point
* '''It is illegal to lockpick anything that does not belong to you on a PVE server.'''
* If you live on a dictatorship deed, be aware that the mayor has total control of everything on that deed. It is possible for them to expel you, break into your house, and take all of your items.
'''The notes on this page are mainly aimed at the PvE servers.'''
== Settlements ==
Settlements have a great variety of permission and security settings that can help to keep the belongings of yourself and your fellow villagers safe from any unwanted attention such as bashing or theft. Villagers, friendly deeds and alliance members all have customisable roles so it's a great way to invoke different levels of security to players (or groups of players) depending on how much trust you have in them.
=== Villagers ===
* pick up items left in an unlocked container or on the floor
* move any items inside of the house, even if locked:* - ''except for vehicles , that are hitched and/or locked , to which they have no access''
* modify your house (add, remove, continue, rotate, paint etc)
* bash your walls, thus gaining access
As you can see, a mayor has pretty much full control over houses on their deeds and only by adding a lock to the door(s) can you limit access to them, but it will not prevent them bashing the walls down. If the settlement permits you to do so ensure that all containers and doors are locked. If you are unable to attach locks it would be best to discuss this with the mayor before you begin leaving your items inside of the house. Never assume items you leave anywhere else on the deed are safe, they are not.
