Realm, Y U NO EXPAND?

Well there seems to be some quirks with the realm expansion; our realm hit the block count needed to expand to 260x260 a few days ago, and again today and each time we get a message something along the lines of "The realm attempted to expand but couldn't, boxed in by other realms".

Worst part is the block count just goes back down to 0. The map shows plenty of free space to the right of our realm (Pure logic) but for reason it insists on just resetting to 0 every time we're due to expand. We would be at or close to 270x270 (or equivalent in area) if it actually worked.

Can intelli or anyone else provide some insight into how this works? I thought the realm can expand into non-square dimensions should there be insufficient space in one direction?

Intelli said he was working on it when I issued the problem to him on Wednesday, Feb 16th. Yesterday (Friday), I talked to jdankk and he said it was fixed, and it happened a 2nd time, http://i.imgur.com/YwbFe.png.

Igob8a, don't worry Intelli is doing his best, there is already a bigger issue with the lag that's occurring, so this shouldn't be his highest priority. Give it some time and we may or may not be able to get our (15,625 x 2) 31,250 block count back.

Thanks Intelli and the other admins for looking into this :)

Just failed to expand yet again. Why is this still not fixed and why is the server still not updated to 1.3?

None of us have an incentive to play

Same for us at Death Plateau. We have space to expand to the south and west, but we can't expand either. Perhaps our realms are conflicting somehow.

Currently, being unable to rank up just makes me not want to build at all. I agree, after having and working towards a rank, not being able to expand leaves you with no incentive to play.

This is still being investigated, and we'll try to have it fixed when the server is updated to 1.3

So far, we've determined that purelogic IS boxed in in the north, west, and south.

The only direction it CAN expand is to the east (so + 20 to the east), although it would be fully boxed in after about 2 more expansions.

We're trying to get it fixed though so that, well, that it CAN expand to the east =]

We just moved today to a slightly more remote location (by Terranobyl) so hopefully getting boxed in will be less of an issue.

Since we moved on, the old pure logic is free for anyone to take (although it's partially destroyed already). Feel free to take it or break it :mrgreen:
