I think any limit on building would have to be in LAND AREA COVERED, not
in objects. Some of the more prolific builders who have indeed built
good things have probably crammed what they can into each area and so
have not taken up too much actual space, but possibly used a lot of
objects.

I took the square root of Roland's 50,000 and got 223.61... meaning each
user would get (if it was land cover alone, in H walks) rougly 2.23km
of space. I know I have an (unused, unfortunately) area rougly 1km x
..65m in AW, covered, as well as land cover for two towns (one 1km², the
other approximately .5km x .4km, although that one is built in by others
so it's probably not quite as bad.) And I have built other things too -
I'm not a prolific builder, I would have said an 'average' builder, and
that's probably pretty close to the limit as it is.

If we all built structures on it - lets say a floor and 2 pieces of
furniture or other such stuff, for each cell - that's 4 objects per
cell, instead of just 1... cutting the amount of space dramatically. I
wouldn't be surprised to hear there's 25,000 objects or something in
'big' projects like Mount Bob, for example.

Cross-posting to wishlist cos it's a kinda wish... would do beta as well
but it's not 'strictly' related to the beta, and I don't want my post
deleted :)
