I guess in my (future) home, I can leave my stuff around and I'll find that stuff in the same place I left it. But what about the public areas? Let's say some public furniture is broken (a bank in the park, a traffic sign...), does it remain broken until fixed? Does my car need an overhaul overtime? Can I leave some object somewhere for someone else to take it? How long would it remain in place? Will there be whipes/how often/what do whipes mean? I know the questions are vague, becase so is the status at this point ,but I hope you get the idea. As per the description, this is somehow a life simulator. All of the above questions mean really only one: is this a persistent world and what does such persistence mean?

Right after I put my question in words, which was useful for myself to tackle my own concern, I started thinking of it, and found some answers/comments to my own question that I list here for the sake of the topic. You can paint a canvas or write a book and submit them to the appropiate gallery. That is meant to persist and, if good enough, have a value, both in money and in meaning for both the author and the potential owner who buys it. There will be politics, so an elected governor should remain for a certain time, and that should mean something along the history of events. I don't really think we'll be allowed to leave our stuff on the floor while in the street, just like that. Not at least without some control. Imagine the mess that could be? But I think it's one of the most interesting elements of players interaction. As facade and Capped say, it could be very useful for criminals. But for police too in case whatever object dropped in the crime scene can serve as an evidence. I imagine the clutter being cleared by the corresponding cleaning service every once in a while. These are the things that will make each day consistent with the previous, and set the basis of the next one. These are the things I mean when talking about persistence.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

...aaaand another Spanish here. Already time to build our little community?

Honestly I'm looking forward to extend my pledge up to a studio apartment. That's because a studio is where I see myself living. I may end up throwing in some more money until launch and getting some bigger apartment, but if I had to decide today, it would be a simple studio, enough for me to do my stuff. Not much to clean (yeah, no dust in internet houses but...), intimate, a place with personality where I could find myself. I can't wait to see how a studio will look like. Fortunately it will be available with the first module in early 2017.
