Hey reader

You may know me from my recent thread about my lake; I have to confess I'm crazy :S I can't stop building! For a while now I've been thinking about buying isles so I took a look around my isle and from as far as I know now the owners of the isles at my right and left are both banned...

This makes it impossible to buy them but also isles from banned players don't get reset! I learned this today from livvy but I think this is petty strange, why not? Maybe it's a really big administrative problem or something?

CypriotMerks, Noobcrew, anyone, can someone please inform me what happens with these isles? I could just build on them if no one else can claim them but I kow that's griefing so yeah...Can you reset them or something? I really filled my isle, making it impossible to build much more on it...

Well, hopefully something happens

Keep up the dreams!

Alright, you won't get more island space. Imagine being unbanned and finding your island built on. You are given a 100 by 100 area. It also wouldn't be fair to other players. If you want more space, build up or down

 

They used to delete them after a month if you were inactive

 

I have been told by many people that it is deleted after a year of inactivity.

 

It used to be 1 month, it's probably changed now. It was a thread by Noobcrew that said it though

 

Cyp and D-Ninja have both told me a year.

Back to the topic of the thread, im pretty sure that if you can confirm the inactivity of the player whose island you want to take over, you can go ahead and build on it. Of course, this is all at a risk because the player may come back, or the island may reset.

 

Some people build a few blocks over, they get told its at their own risk.

 

Some people live the "#ThugLife"

 

We don't have a lot of space left, we mostly filled it :S only the lower region still offers space

 

My island is exactly 49 blocks from all other islands, and it is over 100x100.
(hope that's legal)

 

When you say 49 from other island's do you mean from your bedrock aswell?

 

no, i went to the other island, placed 50 blocks, and then destroyed 49 of them. ii then made a rectangle around 200 by 100 blocks. i hope that that is not illegal.

 

You should've counted 49 blocks from your island in all directions, and stopped.

 

i know, but i already had expanded past that point when i found out about the 49 block limit. i don't go into anyone else island space, and the islands around me look abandoned anyway.

 

There's a 99% chance that nothing is going to happen, just don't place anything valuable on the edge.

 

it is just a big platform right now, haven't done anything yet, still filling it in

 

There's a possibility of sudden spawn of a new island in a gap between your 49-blocks limit and your neighbour's place. Exactly on a half of your current occupied area.

 

oh. well my island is a year old, so i am not to worried

 

Who knows how the plugin distributes new islands? Will it reuse empty gaps later or not?
