Thanks for the answers, I appreciate it a lot. Can you elaborate on what this means a bit please, it's the only part I didn't completely understand. My guild leader has referred to some of us new settlers as being of the realm, and we're building on guild land. What does that mean for my claim?
The reason I'm asking about safety is because space is limited in the guild walls and we were told we could have 2 5x5 plots, I was wondering if maybe I should build nearby but a bit away from them so I can take up more space if I want to.
So the only way buildings/objects on my personal claim can be stolen or damaged is if I don't pay the upkeep?
I think what I'm trying to figure out is am I better off building on their land or finding my own somewhere. From what I can tell, building on my own is actually safer so long as I pay the upkeep, whereas there are more potential ways of losing a claim if I build on guild land. Though I suppose my claim will be safer behind their walls if I can't afford to pay or don't log on for a bit. Is that correct?
