Can you give me the SURL in world to the place? I don't know if this is bad form, but I'll see if I can offer them a tasty parcel as an exchange... I just got a few really good ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make sure I have a parcel the right size to offer them. Screenshot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feorie Frimon Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Just sent her a message - I just got a big batch of nice land parcels, so hopefully she'd be willing to trade. I'll let you guys know what happens. If she does it, who do I give the land back to? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now going through the history of Nangrim parcels, as much as it can be gleamed from http://gridsurvey.com/display.php?id=5609, to see if what I saw in Aug.31st was anything like what @ChinRey and @Conifer Dada saw back on Jan. 22nd 2017. It would be a bummer to have this sitting still, ready to have the road added, for 4 years and then lose the chance to do it in 3 weeks… Edited September 21, 2021 by 4lice Cerise +Conifer Dada 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Overland Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hope it is okay to reopen this thread with an associated topic that depending on the answer could help restore mainland a little. My question is do LL action tickets to sell abandoned land to any premium account i.e. is the requirement to own in the same region no longer in force, or was it a myth? I ask as yesterday having won an auction plot I noticed one of the land team setting a plot for sale to a land dealer and on checking the same region I could not see any plots owned by the buyer. If the answer is yes then I, and others could potentially buy abandoned land anywhere and put it to productive use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candide LeMay Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I got abandoned land via a support ticked while having no other plot in that region. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qie Niangao Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 If I recall the chronology correctly, way, way back you had to have land on three sides of the abandoned land to even ask. Then there was a time when all freshly abandoned land got a brief grace period for reclaiming then got set automatically for sale. Then that practice ended and there was a blog post or something saying that the rules for requesting abandoned land were being relaxed so anybody with land in the region could request it, first come, first served, but in practice there was always a carve-out for double-prim and Adult and maybe protected waterfront, etc. And then somewhere along the line it got weird. So I think it's worth asking, any time you find abandoned land that looks appealing. Worst case, they'll say no. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Overland Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I've submitted my first ticket to request an abandoned plot in a region I do not own land so we will see in a few days if restoration via support tickets is an option. Making good use of my favourite gadget the wonderful Land Survey tool which lists parcels, owners and size. Highly recommended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you recommending that tool a while back, and bought it recently. It's already come in handy for me when I was looking for a parcel that was up for private auction in Bay City (at an event, so not listed on the auction page). It worked great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that this missing bit of the Jeogeot shortcut road was meanwhile created, even though the JIRA request was not edited recently. Thank you, @Derrick Linden (the JIRA assignee) and @Garden Mole (who rezzed the road) — now lets put this new stretch of road to good use! 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Jerrold Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Talking about buying up abandoned land. Last week I travelled every inch of the Atoll (Heterocera) continent looking for abandoned land that I could claim/buy. The only criteria that I was following was the land that I find must be partly protected if not fully protected. I actually found loads of land next to roads and railways some of the land was huge parcels some of it was small weird sized parcels. My plan is to claim this land. Split into 1024sqm parcels and make it available for non premium members to rent. Rather than live in a Linden home they have a choice to settle on the mainland. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Heterocera is a lovely continent. Take note that some regions there are more laggy than others due in part to amusement parks or other factors. I think a water view and road access or water access alone would be preferable to most people over railway access alone. A nearly square or rectangular shape is also preferable to a triangular or other odd shape, as such would fit most houses and skyboxes easier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Scarmon Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Where possible I think they should turn abandon land into lakes and ponds, connecting to the oceans where possible. This would improve the value of the surrounding land, and removing excess land from circulation would improve the value of everyone's land. Parkland would be a good choice when it is not feasible to convert it to a lake or river. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 There is a new beach with a rez zone and a linden road here in Arguilleriers (Satori). Several parcels have been set for auction along the road. The regions are set to General though, which is not ideal for homes. Would it be possible for LL to change their rating to Moderate if the current land holders were ok with that? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A least one is being resold for more money. One rental agency also purchased a bunch more land behind their property, so they now own a big strip of land not quite on the coast in Montlaur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
