Out of the Plot Resizing FAQ:
If plots are resized will they keep the original buildings?
- Answer: If a plot is simply resized, then yes it will keep the original buildings. In order to resize a plot, the new area must fully contain the old area. This is why it is so difficult in many communities to resize plots.
Will some plots be deleted to allow for larger plots? What happens to the buildings/items on plots that are deleted?
- Answer: If a plot is removed from the world then any structures on it will also be deleted. In this case, no novians for those structures will be given, and items stored on the plot will also be lost.
What Happens After Auctions?
If a plot placed for auction is not purchased, The Land and Title Office has a few choices to make. They may place the plot up for immediate sale with the original structures, clear the plot of all structures and place it up for immediate sale, or condemn the plot.
Plots that are condemned are subcontracted to the Gnomish Construction Guild to have all structures removed (they are actually shrunk for use by gnomish children in their play rooms), and the The Land and Title Office will de-zone the plot (remove it from the world). In some cases, a new (and larger) plot may be zoned in the previous area and placed on the market for sale.
