## Logging off
It might be tempting just to leave your character wherever you are and log off, but it is probably a bad idea.
When you log off, NPCs and players who can attack you when you are logged on can still attack you while logged
off. You will fight back, but never flee or heal yourself - so logging off in the wrong place could leave you
dead and waiting to re-clone (with less XP) when you log back in.
Instead, pick a safe place to log off. If you are broke, you could try the Homeless Shelter (HS) in
Melbs Central. Fog machines mean no one can fight there - but you also can't keep any stuff you can't
carry there, so it is more a home of last resort.
For nicer digs, try heading a bit further south along King Street to Condos on King (CK). There, you can rent
a studio apartment (`rent studio`) for a daily fee, and ask the robot to guide you to your apartment any time
you want to visit with `in yourusername`. You have your own personal doorstep, but keep in mind that the
doorstep itself is accessible to anyone who wants to go there. Head further east to go into your private
apartment itself.
It comes with a door, but it is up to you to buy a lock if you want security (without a lock, anyone you have
allowed to visit, or are at war with, can come in, and help themselves to your stuff - and attack you if you
are at war). Keep in mind that if you are at war and have allowed pick, locks can be picked though!
To buy a lock, head to McKillock's Security (MS). Once you have the lock, go in to the room you want to lock
(you have to install it from the inside, not from the doorstep), and install it with a command like
`install scanlock on door to west`. You can uninstall it if you want to change to a different lock later:
`uninstall scalock from door to west`.
The door will open for you if you try to go through it, but no one else will be able to open it without
picking it first (and if you haven't issued an `allow combat` command including `allow pick`, you are completely
safe while the door is closed and it's just you in there. Keep in mind that if you open the door, others can
get through too until you close it. So if you come out of your apartment, remember to `close east` before moving
on!
Congratulations on taking the first step on your property journey - enjoy your new home! Feel free to invite
others in with `allow visit from <user>` - set a limit like `until 5 minutes`, or `disallow visit from <user>`
after if you don't want them coming back. Be careful about inviting dishonest visitors though in case they try
to clean you out!
