      Also, I'd prefer having to face where you wanna build/destroy rather

  Dropping isn't really harder than applying.  Both are relatively simple.

  The idea to key on direction the player is facing seems like a bad idea IMO. 
Using fire directions or something might be OK, but relying on direction the 
player is facing just seems like it will be very error prone (I was facing that 
way?  I thought I was facing another way, etc).

      Again depends. I'd think it more fun if we can start from either map.

      But some things, like changing floor archetype, could be done on the

  Well, here I disagree.

  I don't mind allowing some building code for people to customize 
apartments/guilds.

  If you want to build a dungeon, use the map editor.  There is no way a build 
in game editor can ever really do more than some minor things (or more to the 
point, I don't want the complexity of all that in the server code for something 
of dubious usefulness).

  So it should really be designed for what is will be used for, which should be 
apartment/guild customization, and not the ability to build any possible map. 
So not being able to easily build dungeons isn't a big deal for me.
