Rejected People unfairly loosing they good plots

[CrpyCredit]

So my friend (Dreamer486) has a really good and detailed plot right next to buildbattle and took ages to build it and today I noticed some1 els is now the owner of the plot and staff said that if u don't log on in a while ppl can claim ur plots if they ask staff which I think should not be allowed .I would like if ye stopped that and gave Dreamer486 back his plot from the person who asked to claim it from staff (stole) and the person who asked to take it from staff (stole it) is Liillii

If this system was not in place, there would be a lot of empty plots near spawn/ones of players that haven't been online in a while. Since the plots near spawn are more in demand, it usually makes sense to allow another player to take a plot that is empty, or of a player who is extremely inactive, and is likely not going to make any progress on the plot. One way this could be prevented is if you were working on the plot, and you know your friend is going to go extremely inactive, you can ask them to give you the plot, or if they are already inactive, ask a staff member to give you the plot.

What if they're already full on plots though?

What if they're already full on plots though?

If someone goes inactive to the point that they have not logged on in 1-2 years, most players expect them to never log on again (there is, of course, exceptions). If they're never going to log on again, then what's the point of them owning the plot? It's basically a plot with no owner, since the owner will most likely not come on again.

Think of it like this. It's basically the system that other servers have, where they automatically dispose plots if a player hasn't logged on in 1-2 months. The difference is, it is normally a year-2 years on PZ, and if there is a plot that is not near spawn, or not a plot someone else wants, it won't be disposed.

Hope that made sense, I'm not very good at explaining this.

I think another good point is that Nashy (Cxtten) missed was the fact that they tend not to give away plots full of stuff unless the player is super inactive. Another thing to this is, if the plot is full and they don't log on sometimes the staff move it away from spawn, so someone else may have said plot.

I get why you might be upset, but the staff have been told that they may do it (delete plots) upon request if it meets certain standards.

I'm sorry that your friend lost there plot.

No, that made sense. I think the inactive plot claiming makes sense.

Well could you atleast give it to one of his friends who will take care of it till he's back because ik he will be back cuz he has very important year in school and moving house also country so its very stressful for him. I think the plots of ppl not online in a while should go to some1 they know or who was added to the plot already so you know the person trusts them. I was Dreamer486 best friend for ages. and this plot isn't just any normal plot its like a builders plot its so detailed and took him a lot of time. what I'm trying to say is that the plot should be handed to some1 he trusts

And also Cxtten I have asked staff many times can they tell when some1 was last online and they told me they cant but how do ye know if Dreamer486 was or wasn't online in a while?

That’s not how it works, sorry. If a player wants a plot, let’s say near spawn, and the user has been inactive for years, they do have the right to take it. A staff member does not know who these players friends are, and there is a good chance they’ve left too. People who are added might not even be friends, just people who helped world edit and built a specific thing.
Staff don’t know if a player is going through a hard time, either. They don’t know when they’ll be back.
If a player wants an inactive players plot, technically they have the right too having it. Staff can’t really just say “No, because his friend wants to mind it.” Especially when you’ve never spoken about it to a staff member. These things just happen.

And also Cxtten I have asked staff many times can they tell when some1 was last online and they told me they cant but how do ye know if Dreamer486 was or wasn't online in a while?

( you can’t double post )
Also they can’t tell you, because it’s staff information. Staff are trusted with this information, which is not to be leaked to players. Though, they do have a way.

(Sorry if I repeat information that has been stated above, I'm a little tired)
If you wanted the plot, as I stated above, you could have asked a moderator once they had been inactive for a while, or, before they left, you could have asked them to give you the plot themselves. If someone asks for the plot, we have no way of telling who was friends with the player who built the plot.

As for the last part, moderators are able to check the last time a player was on. This may be different if you ask a helper, since they are not able to do this.

Adding onto this, if your friend was to log back on and staff had proof that they previously owned the plot (in this case, I do), then, they’d most likely happily hand the plot back over if they hadn’t changed it since. In this situation, if your friend came back online I would happily give the plot back as I have not changed it since- in fact, I claimed it because it was so beautiful and I wanted to preserve it.

Personally if a user doesnt log on in a year, the whole plot should be wiped.

 

[Supernqtural]

It would be very stupid to have plots just sitting there if the player hasn’t been on in forever. It’s taking up space and possibly adding to lag. It is better for someone to claim it or for it to get wiped instead of it just sitting there.
