Premium Acct Land options?

[Blondie Armendariz]

I am looking to get a piece of land that I can eventually build on, where I can lock out anyone not on my friends list, and where my friends can come anytime to rez up (open boxes,  get dressed).  So far,  it seems like the only thing available for the premium acct is a linden home and my friends can rez there.

You can buy mainland if you are Prmium or you can rent mainland or estate.  In many of those cases you can set up an access list of who can come there.  Usually in order to allow rezzing and such, you would need to add your friends to the land group and this may or may not be possible via renting, but is always possible when you own the land.

FYI - The premium account gives you 512m of TIER to apply towards any mainland.  You can use it to get a Linden Home, or you can apply it towards however much mainland you decide to buy.  Rentals -- estate or mainland -- are usually paid weekly and in L$.   Tier is paid directly to LL monthly via your Payment Info on File.

Thank you very much.  It sounds like I just need to figure out how to buy a small amount of land, and the premium acct will provide the monthly Tier? - which is like a fee for land?

Tier is basically the equivalent of a condo association fee or utility bills in the real world. It goes to maintaining the server that 'hosts' your land.

Your friends can rezz objects in your Linden home if youset the permissions so that they can.

Yeah, pretty much.  This page will tell you how the tier blocks break down and the associated fees.

The first 512m is included with your membership, so if you buy only a 512m plot of land, it will cost nothing more each month.  If you buy 1024, it will cost you an additional $5.00 per month.  The middle section can be used to calculate your cost by putting in different sizes of land that you are thinking of buying. Mainland is extremely cheap right now -- you can find plots for roughly L$1 per m -- so 512L$ for a 512.

Additional info for buying land -- each 512m will give you 117 prims for house, decorations, misc building & rezzing, etc...

You can't.  Linden Homes are not editable.

However, your house has a control panel that you can use to modify its appearance by using different texture sets, etc.
