What I was suggesting is that if you were standing close enough you  
would see a green ball, that would vanish after a few meters, much as  
the "NO ENTRY" lines do now. Beyond that distance you would see  
nothing in-world, though you would still see the green dot on the  
map. This would avoid the problem of people "just vanishing".

I'm sure Jeremy or Runitai could come up with something much cooler  
than a green ball. :)

That's the only border that could be used that wouldn't add a lot of  
overhead to the sim.

This would just become one more of many many reasons why renters  
should insist on being able to subdivide their rental plots, now that  
the group system has been enhanced to the point where this even makes  
sense on the mainland (it was always possible on islands, and I  
wouldn't dream of renting an island plot where I couldn't subdivide).
