Again, you're missing the point that I don't know who owns these buildings. I did not know that people 'own' large areas. I explored the citadel and it appeared to be owned by many people. I usually see people hanging around in this general area so assumed this is where people were building things at the moment.

I built my building with more space than any of the space between all the other buildings in the area to make sure that nobody felt it was too close.

You said my tree was too close, which was fine, so I moved out into more space.

Do you see? You seem to be finding this hard to grasp.

I played just how everyone plays on every private server I've played on so far. You build a respectable distance from other peoples buildings so if they wish to expand it you're not getting in the way.

If people prefer to claim large areas on this server, that's fine - just don't act like a dick about it. I can't even SEE the church from that hill when I play on my laptop at home.

But surely something this would've been better. Still close to everything but it also give /you/ more space as well.

I think people need to build where they can expand into as well. I built a bit out of the way so people wouldn't encroach on my space, as have many people, Jon for example is quite out of the way.

Sure - maybe - but I was stood on an ideal hill for what I wanted to build and it seemed far enough away from any other buildings to avoid causing anyone any problems, further than all the other buildings were to each other.

Had I known that entire area was "XENS AREA", I'd have moved away even further, but the majority of the time when I'm in game there's usually 2, 3 or sometimes 4 people stood around in this general area. In fact, HardWork has been in this area more than Xen has the majority of times I go in game.

Just because someone is there it doesn't mean they're building. I go and visit peoples buildings often.

HardWork builds with Xen most of the time. So "XENS AREA" is more like "XEN and HARDWORKS AREA".
