Question Title:	Can Dereth become too big?
Category:	Dungeons
Question:	Since the surface is one size only, I won't ask about that, however, due to the landblock ussage, will you ever run out of virtual 3D space in Dereth? As I remember, landblock IDs are 8 hex digits, are we anywhere near having used up all 4294967296 landblocks? Will a time ever come when you'll have to say "(ch)Arwic and Cragstone can share their allegiance halls, and 2 Lugian cits need to go to make room for this months event dungeons"?

Answer:	While it's theoretically possible to expand past Dereth's size, it is a HUGE HUGE HUGE space. It would take some time to expend the free space in Dereth. With so many under-populated areas (deserts, etc.) and all that water, there is plenty of space for our foreseeable needs. Sean.
