then someone would build up an army and just steal the property from him...which would be pretty funny if thats possible

He gets all of it I think.

That's the point of owning the land in the first place.

nah. it'll never happen. competitive mode is called "pvp" (player vs player) in the mmorpg world, but only a small percentage of mmorpg players choose pvp because mmorpg-ers are basically the biggest wusses in the world. i.e. a lot of 'em subscribe to the game just to hang out & chat, rather than kick ass. most of 'em would be crying, if they were forced to fight against other players. :P

Dammit man!! I would have spend that on something "Physical". Get the fastest comp on the block? That island will outdate after a few years... terrible investment... such a loss.
