But in certain situation, your realm will decay faster, such as :
Now, for my opinion on some of these rules:
I think it's silly for any realm to decay in less than a week, even if locked. I can see the need to decay the realms to make space for more active players, but a 24 hour decay rate is just plain frustrating to newer players because just about every time they come back to the game, their realm is in their inventory and not on the overworld.
I also think it's silly to have a faster decay rate if you lock your realm. You might be working on it, and not want others traipsing through the realm while it is a work in progress. It shouldn't decay faster just because you lock it, especially if you are in it daily. But desiring privacy in your realm shouldn't be a reason for it to be bumped off the overworld map (though I've learned to just have rooms off the realm that I lock down).
Best advice I got from someone was to make sure I placed a few blocks in my realm daily (even if I removed them immediately), so I'd get a bump up in the build/block numbers. That seems to make a bigger difference in keeping the realm on the map than having visitors IMO, as there were days I had people other than me in my realm, but because I didn't build it would fall off the overworld because I'd not been in there daily.
