Question regarding tents

[Dave Factor 1]

I know that once a tent is placed by a player, no other player can move the tent. I also know that any player who finds a tent may loot it, if they wish.

My question is this...

So, I found a tent... Found a location to set it up. Have been using it to store a few items. What happens if my character gets killed? Does the tent stay in game? Can I return to it with a new character and move it? Will it vanish eventually? If so, how long?

The tent will stay but you can't move it with the new char

Indefinitely? You would think that if they never expired, you would find old tents all over the place.

If you die, the tent will stay there for a few days but you no longer 'own' the tent, you can still loot it but it will eventually despawn and you can't take it because your old character was the owner.

EDIT: To add a bit, it's 7 server days that the tent will remain for after the last interaction takes place.

So say you looted everything from it and ran off, it would last 7 days before de-spawning if nobody else interacted with it, every interaction resets the timer to 7 days though.

Thank you very much. That tells me exactly what I wanted to know.
