     Do not allow building over the entrance. That is a silly thing to do

     No, I mean, if one builds a land plot somewhere, but then outside of the 
game a map maker changes that place in bigworld, and does something add 
a city there or something else the interferes with with the land plot of 
a player.

     Yes, there's already word of recall, however players can indirectly 
create no_magic/no_prayer areas by use of open gates. Hopefully someone 
can come up with a better idea for dealing with this.

     Yes, that would be difficult, but the best way to do that would probably 
be with the python scripts.

     I think it would be neat if they could, though it would take a bit of 
effort to accomplish, probably through use of python to set the tiling 
of the maps would be best.
