CDM; a world owner could use robobuilder to tile ALL of the world with
walk028h or something similar. As to not using an object registry -- it is my understanding the object registry is the ONLY way the building inspector has of knowing about property encroachment. In the help files it is mentioned that a world owner should NOT open up a world to public building if there is no registry. Air Head's idea about covering ALL of the world's land and then transferring ownership of a selected area to the new builder is workable except I don't know that it is even possible to transfer ownership without going in and hand diddling the data base. Flirbnic's idea of having a maximum area "thingy" is a great idea, but would require a modification of the server software. The simplest possibility (for server software modification) is to simply count how many cells a builder is using to "store" objects. If this is used it would be good for the builder to add a button to the browser to switch on/off the display of the cell grid.
