Dead Spaces

Greetings fellow minecrafters. It recently came to my formerly isolated attention that there is something that needs some addressing. Dead Space.

No, not the game you assuming fools! I am talking about space that has been claimed by a particular town or group of people, but is so large, or has not been touched in a long period of time, that all it turns into is a land claim that sits there empty.

Now, this is kind of two fold for me personally, as some individuals recently moved in close by and built a town of sorts. They did have an outline for a wall, which was no problem for me at the time.

HOWEVER, the kicker for me was I recently found after some time of inaction this wall has spread a great distance, and is now claiming a very large amount of land. Upon initial examination, I found many signs claiming that the land was for sale, which was slightly ridiculous to me because the distance from spawn alone is measurable. However, it rose a new concern for me as well.

The area claimed with this large wall (with no doors readily apparent. Really? One door in the back, one in the front?) is also just as large. I wouldn't have a problem if it was all one claimed spot, or if perhaps there was some known plan for the very large amount of area claimed. Yet, just simply walking the area myself it just seems to be too big a slice of land, all walled off, that will simply not be used, and not be able to be freely traversed.

Sure I lost the point in that rambling somewhere, so let me put it here. What does everyone else think about large areas of unused space that is simply claimed? Or perhaps claiming more than will ever really be necessary? Pretty sure my opinion is apparent, so I want to know what everyone else thinks.

I have come across an area marked off and such before, and everytime I check on it, it's still undeveloped, so I say maybe ask the mods to check the logs to see when the last time anyone built there was, and if it's been over a month, it clearly can be reclaimed by anyone.

*Cough* V88 *Cough*

ive always thought Dead Towns like Fort Itl/Fort Mountbatten were a bigger problem. but people claiming massie slices of land merely to sell it on?
thats... thats!

Yeah, if they haven't done anything within the walls, nor placed any signs up explaining anything, it's rather unfair on others.

Actually, if you're doing such a thing we need to make it into a show.

I wouldn't mind me seeing some "FIR3 MAH ION LAZUR" in action.
