Clarification about tier free land for premium members

[NanR]

 Need more clarification about tier free land for premium members.

1.  Cloudville (224,144) Adult 2048m  --  what does (224,144) mean?

2.  How many prims?

3.  I know premium members get  1024m but how does it work with more such as 2048 or more?

4.  Can a premium member buy more than one parcel of tier free land?

5.  Does the tier free land have to be only on the mainland?

1.  the 224, 144 are the coordinates of the parcel on the region. 

2. Use this to help determine prims/ pricing : https://secondlife.com/land/pricing.php

3. You get your first 1024 free but you can pay monthly to get more. See the link above.

4. You can buy any amount of land up to 1024 for free. You could buy a bunch of little 32m2 parcels if you wanted...i dont recommend that though  : )

5. Yes it must be on mainlad.

1: Region coordinates, measured in pixels (the region ground texture is 512x512 pixels) - there is usually a third number: which is altitude in meters. 

2: 117 prims for every 512 square meters. Maths is your friend.

3: Premium gets land use gratis for the first 1024 square meters. So if you have 2048, the first 1024 are no-charge, you pay for 1024 left over (as of this writing: $7 U.S. per month).

4: Yes - you can buy 2 512x512 lots. You can buy a 512x512 and a 256x256 and another 2156x256 lot. Buy as much or as little as you want. The first 1024 (total) is gratis, anything over that you pay for.

5: Yes. Or, rather, it must be Linden-owned land, where you pay directly to Linden lab and NOT to another resident - that is called subletting/renting/contracting and THEY still own the land and still have total control, including the ability and right to eject you for any and no reason. When you *buy* mainland, then you are in control and no one can do that to you. LL won't even do that to you except in extreme circumstances (like 60 days behind in any payments you owe them if any), etc.

With all this said, had you gone to the land ownership section of your Second Life account page, you could have clicked the HELP button and gotten all these answers and a lot more explain very clearly. #JustSaying

1. 256 x 256 meters are used for the coordinates

2. 175 prims per 512 sqm is the LI/prim allowance since a while
