Living on a foreign shard (not the one with the house) is always a pain, because you have no way to safely transfer something from one char to another. So what about tents?
Here's how this could work:
Every account can place a single tent per shard.
Tents decay and fall after a set amount of days, i.e. 14 days.
Tents come with a built in secure chest, which can be accessed from every char on this account.
Opening the secure chest refreshes the tent and sets the decay timer back to it's maximum.
This would be a huge improvement IMHO.
