I got to both disagree and agree with Legion here:
Honestly, it was tolerated until now, and at least in RP some of those land claims are pretty much established, nor do I see why its suddenly an issue while it hasn't been before.
Its a matter of Role play that is being argued about here.
Going by that you could as well say that every claim to deserts like the Sahara can't be enforced since there is not enough personnel there to keep the law or enough people that actually want to live in the middle of the desert.
The question whether one deserves the land they claim can be asked using every country in the real world too btw.
Starting with the US whose lands belonged to native Americans going all the way down to Australia that actually belonged to the Aborigines.
Note that both of them just claimed the lands and the boarders established themselves throughout time and got accepted by the rest of the world too.
I really don't see why we
suddenly can't do that in roleplay anymore.
I think its fine as long as people know that they can't actually enforce it.
So yeah sorry when the Altera Kingdom collapsed people making Rp-land claims was BOUND the happen.
And please let us all remember that the collapse of said Alteran Kingdom was
a Staff decision and not players sending letters to the Queen saying that they decide to secede until only Port Silver was left.
The houses were all pretty much accepting being a part of the Altera-Kingdom, they still mainly did their own thing but they accepted being part of the Kingdom, and that notably even though it never bought all the lands it claimed to be its own.
And even if one had rebelled in the past, the Altera-Kingdom could have still raised an army and suppressed that rebellion. Yet the decision was to let it collapse while no one even openly seceded from it.
Oh and lets not bring the recent changes to the peaceful tag in here,
while I understand that people want their peaceful zones, they still make me wonder if people actually knew how medieval life used to be.
Back to the matter at hand though, Legion also has a point.
Some of the claims have more than 3500 blocks between a region they actually own, notably in several directions (no matter if people live there).
Thats about twice as much as the way from the spot where PS's Icon is located (dynamap) to the Town of Sorrows's Icon without even owning a single Region between those spots or at least in a 1000 Block perimeter.
