Lost Items After Plot Cleaning Session

Why were plots cleaned?

Inactive plot cleaning sessions aim to optimize space in crowded zones by freeing up unused plots. This ensures that new players can establish their plots in densely populated areas.

What happens to connected plots during cleaning?

When two plots are connected, they combine to form an extended building area. However, if an inactive plot adjacent to your active plot is removed, your plot will revert to its original size. Any constructions, chests, or crafting stations on the newly created no-man’s land will gradually vanish.

What were the criteria for the most recent cleaning session?

The cleaning session, held on December 19, followed strict guidelines to determine which plots were eligible for removal:

• Player Inactivity: The plot owner had not logged into any character for the past 21 days.
• Building Pieces: The plot contained fewer than 10 building pieces.
• Chests: The plot contained fewer than 2 chests.
• Crafters: The plot had fewer than 5 crafting stations.

Plots meeting these conditions were deemed inactive and removed.

What should I do if my items were on the extended area of a removed plot?

If your neighbor's plot was removed and you had constructions or items on the extended area:

1. Be Proactive: Prepare to replace your constructions, chests, or crafting stations.
2. Reclaim Space: You can establish a new plot on the vacated land to regain control over the area.
3. Move Items: Relocate any critical items to your primary plot as soon as possible to avoid loss.

Why do items vanish from no-man’s land?

When a connected plot is removed, any items placed on the now unoccupied space become unprotected and will slowly disappear over time. This mechanic ensures that abandoned areas do not clutter the environment.

How can I avoid losing items in the future?

To safeguard your constructions:

• Build Strategically: Keep critical structures and items within your own plot’s boundaries.
• Stay Active: Ensure your neighboring plots are active or be prepared to secure new plots if they are removed.
• Monitor Neighboring Plots: Keep track of nearby players’ activity levels to anticipate potential changes.

By staying vigilant and taking proactive measures, you can minimize disruptions caused by plot cleaning sessions.
