Transfering land between groups without busting tier

[Lynn Parkin]

I have group land that is at my tier max, including the "10% bonus" sq m. I would like to transfer some parcels of that land to a different group which I would own in order to give land privileges to certain members for certain parcels and not all parcels.

The question is, how do I set a parcel for sale and purchase it for a group without going over my tier? I'll never actually own more than my tier in sq m, but the donations may "stick" during the transaction and drive me into the next higher tier. If I buy the land from my group personally, then I lose the 10% bonus and that will drive me over tier. Is there a way to handle this? I can't be the first person to have this problem.

The process is a little complicated, but I doubt you need step-by-step instructions. Fundamentally, there are just two things to know:

First, you can "borrow" tier by removing some of the donation from the group to which the land is currently deeded. Yeah, it will fuss in funky magenta about how the group needs more land credits, but it won't immediately repossess the land or anything.

Second, once you've contributed enough tier to the new group and set that as the active group for your avatar, you can use "Buy for Group" from About Land to transfer it directly into that new group, without it ever needing to pass through individual ownership, so you never need to give up that 10% group bonus.

Wow.... Great answer! Thanks! I knew there had to be some way out of that conundrum!

I'll try it as soon as I get home from RL  work!

Gee, I feel so empowered now!
