[Opensim-users] Sim size limits

[Sarge Misfit]

You know, I'd like to see a combination of variable regions AND
megaregions. Consider the possibilities of being able to set up land in
whatever size a person wants and then being able to "stitch" those regions
into a single continent. I could have a 1024x1024 and have neighbours whose
land is different sizes, yet be able to travel back and forth without sim
boundary bounce. A person could build a 2048 square city center and others
could add other areas, from wild out on the edges through rural, suburban,
urban in towards the center, yet they would also grow as neighbourhoods due
to each smaller section being under the management of a different owner.
For those who rent or sell regions, you could set prices by the land size
as well as prim allowance, giving you and your customers more flexibility
and options
