Pandora Barzane Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) so yeah, lindens doubled the premium main land allotment to 1024 m2, and also sliced the prices 10%, pretty neat! full posted here: Edited March 14, 2018 by Pandora Barzane 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does it really say "the cost of land is too darn high in Second Life"? Anyway. If it's legit: !(§=$ ! More maths to do! Like Aki stated in the original post of that Forums Feedback thread, the new bonus apparently cannot be granted to a group as of now. It is uncertain whether this is intentional or if any kind of update might be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamyaeNeferati Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 done it seems, but seems land buying land is a little bit messy when all is green checked, and sharing these 512 to groups not really effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is uncertain whether this is intentional or if any kind of update might be needed. It may be intentional. As it is right now, A full sim split between 64 premium member alts would cost less than 60 US dollars a month - about a third of what it costs if it's all owned by a single alt. If all the alts can contribute their whole "free" tier to a group, we'll end up with big mainland landowners starting armadas of alts to save money and I can't imagine LL wants that to happen. I'll be very happy if I'm wrong though. Edit: Seems it's even more complicated than that. You can only deed 512 m2 of the premium tier to a group and if you do, you won't be able to use the remaining 512 to get a Linden Home. I'm not sure if you can use it to get a private mainland plot. Has anybody tried that? Edited March 14, 2018 by ChinRey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heathernorton Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I am not currently a premium member and always a little confused how this all works. In laymen's terms can you please spell it out for me? My questions: how do you get your free land? How many prims does it come with? How do you find your free land? sorry if my questions seems self evident but to me they are not. Thank you in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You now can have no tier payment on a 1024 piece of land when before it was 512. You can find lots of land for sale in the classifieds and some are listed here in the forums.

Depending on a few circumstances you may or may not get a message saying you can deed 1024 m2 to the group but if you try, it will revert to 512 right away. I tried deeding 512 m2 to a group while my alt owned a Linden Home and that was not possible. Finally I tried getting a Linden home whilst having 512 m2 deeded and got an incorrect message that my payment info was outdated so i couldn't get a Linden home. I did not try to combine 512 m2 group land with 512 m2 privately owned mainland nor did I try combining a Linden ome with 512 m2 privately owned mainland.

I suspect he could also have a Linden home. I have a friend with a Linden home and will check that and add to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vick Forcella Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The Land Use page shows the 1024 bonus. But it doesn't show (yet) I can buy another 512. I still have 0 Available Square Meters. Except that, this is great news! 1024 bonus *and* a price reduction!!!! Yay!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Oh... drat... My first reaction to this was to TP to my Bay City plot... where I am almost out of prims... To see where my Precious Prims be at... Then I noticed this is just giving me more tier... It's a message to go shopping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like maybe the fix is in, but the other thread also mentioned a relog might be needed to pick up these changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chic Aeon Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If you own a 512 (donated or not to a group) you cannot get a Linden home AT THE MOMENT. There is a "update your billing info" message which is wrong as the people testing had current billing info. If you have a Linden Home you can currently buy another 512.

Lindens Keira Linden Posted March 14, 2018 Lindens Share Posted March 14, 2018 From Grumpity Linden in this thread: Alright, problem found. We'll get a fix out shortly, in the meantime we have a supercomplicated workaround... 1. load https://secondlife.com/my/account/landfees.php 2. scroll down and click save changes Voila! We'll update here once the fix is out. And yes, this new land allotment has no effect on group bonus. They stack just fine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I also just got logged in with my alt (that previously had donated 512 to the land group) and was able to increase my donation to the 1024 amount without any problems or messages about increased tier. And per the account summary page, billing still shows $0 to be charged for tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
