this looks like the storage chest in the rookery (where the old guy is on top). if i am correct, this is a chest to store your things until u get a house. storage chests like that (medium) chests look exactly like that, they are opened.
try if you can interact with it, then, if i am right, you will see you can store items in there. so if i am correct, its no loot chest 
Yes, thatās a community chest, you can store things there and other players/characters can use it too when in that realm.
whereās the community tho???
(I kid, Iām sorry LOL)
solved then? LOL
likely 
waiting for confirmation from OP, then we can mark it solved
I understand that this has been changed and now there are two community chests, thanks for the answer, I donāt open loot chests in the city because I donāt like them being open forever xd
this made me giggleā¦ interesting, never thought someone would think that wayā¦
Iāve made new realms, and have been keeping them chests shut, but not for aesthetic reasons, but actually just to check if the level of the contents follows story/world progressionā¦ XD
I like the immersion of the world and the constantly open chests in the city are quite non-immersive 
The constantly open chests in the house also irritate me, why wasnāt their opening implemented? Probably because they are mobile and can be moved.
Iāve noticed tho, that only some stay open forever after openedā¦ others will reset, much like the chest in the wildā¦ I wish all of them would reset, even if the contents change for more common itemsā¦
as for the house chests, yah, those items seem staticā¦ would be nice to have some animations I guess, even if not crucial for gameplay, I really hope they expand a lil bit especially since thereās multiplayer coming!!
Hmm in the previous version the chests in the city were permanently empty and the items I could find there were not very interesting to leave open As for the Multiplayer mode, does this mean that the community chests will become community chests literally or only for people playing on a specific land? I donāt hide the fact that these chests have always been a storage for crafting items for me
i think they could be used to give items to coop players or as shared materials storage etc.
yeah, but is the lower floor one different from the top one?
TBH I never used the lower one.. not that I rememberā¦
(I assume no much detail is available about this, which is fine, but stresses the importance of getting co-op hands-on, I foresee a lot of āsmallā issues popping up)
Community chest is in the bedroom area. I donāt think that is a community chest, itās at the bottom area.
They ate both community chests, yes.
interesting, is kinda hard to tell w/out interacting thoā¦
I mean, intuitively I would assume the one at the bottom to be a community chest, and the one at the dorms being a personal chestā¦
why? players starting the game would not have access to housing yet (due to cost, unless they change this, obviously), and if we assume multiplayer would be available just past the intro tutorial, both being community chests would mean players would not have any access to āsafeā individual storageā¦ in some specific scenarios this would likely cause issuesā¦
