Issues with realm borders

A short while ago, Spawn City expanded. Now, I'm happy for it and the people who reside there, but the issue is that it overlapped with my realm yet again and effectively ate a big chunk of my build. A couple weeks ago a similar thing happened (both Creepington and Spawn were re-centered slightly further apart to fix overlapping borders) and I had to abandon some buildings because they were now in the wilderness, where they'd been safely inside my realm the previous day.

My realm is private, so normally it's been protected from AvO's griefing. But the more Spawn expands over my realm, the more of my build is vulnerable, and the further I have to move my main operations outward. That wouldn't be as bad if the direction I'm being forced in didn't take me out of the forest biome where most of the trees I plant turn into branched trees. So, my productivity overall is taking a hit as well.

My request is that Spawn be re-centered a short ways so that the border ends at the trench where it previously did and the land I've lost is mine again. This won't be any real loss to Spawn, due to the nature of the territory it's expanded over, being only of value to me. I'm NOT asking for spawn to be reduced in size, only shifted a very short distance over. I'd also like to stress the importance of fixing the realm plugin to make realms expand in other directions when their borders become too close together instead of expanding over top of each other, if possible, as this seems to be becoming an issue to a lot of people.

I don't know about the realm expansion, but if there is a problem it should be fixed.

BUT, it is also your fault, DON'T build near spawn!

This could happen with any realms, not just Spawn City and Creepington. While it may not be in the most ideal place, Emershaan shouldn't have to worry about losing property to Spawn.

Yes he should. He built a members only realm smack dab next to spawn. There should seriously be a law against that.
But since there isn't, hopefully spawn just eats him up instead.

Yeah I actually wish you would disband creepington. It is the reason for Spawn City's messed up expansion. Also you do not maintain any of your buildings they look terrible and griefed and it is really unsightly to see when Spawn City, a completely public realm with the most traffic looks better than your private realm...

i am with tgebbia on this one, but the plugin should still be fixed. realms built for appearerence such as hydrosis and pirates cove shouldn't have to worry about land being eaten by the map border or near-by realms such as utopia who doesn't even have visitors on.

Idk why but our has yet to do like 320x380 or anything and we've been up against hezloth for awhile but are borders have been in same spot since we collided.

Only thing that bugs me is ours is way out the map map hence all the building room we are losing, but only way to fix that would be a map extension which I highly doubt is gonna happen anytime soon.

or adding the border to the plugin that causes realms to expand in a dif. dirrection and moving the borders of all realms currently past the border to colliding with the border.

Are yall seriously poking at creepington? IIRC, that place is so messed up because a large group got together and constantly griefed it for weeks and abused the crap out of the founder because it was placed so close to spawn. That realm deserves all the protection we can give it.
