       You obviously don't want players populating maps where they shouldn't.

Even if only walls / doors, i think some players will prefer ingame 
building.
And bottom point is, 'if we/i can do it ingame, why not?' :)
I'm ready to do it (already did a good part), but wanted to discuss 
issues before working more on it.

Once again, i agree on the need to control where players can make custom 
maps (whether that be uploading or inagme building)

       Yeah - only to predefined locations.  Intra apartment teleporters could

True. Maybe by using something like the town portal system: put a 
teleporter marker in first place, go to 2nd place, will open a permanent 
portal between the 2 locations - and ensure locations are player's 
apartment / unique map, only where they can build.

       I personally don't like the idea of requiring players to level in

       And from a 'realistic' point, one would say there would be alchemists

      and alchemist would open up shop and do so.
     
     
Sorry, didn't express myself correctly. I was thinking of objects like 
wall builder you couldn't buy and would be made by alchemy, but anyone 
could use - like what you describe.
