How can I give up my LL House?

[GeminiCalling]

I just bought a 1048 parcel of land, and want to stay in the free tier. I have a LL house that came with my premium membership, and I want to give it up. How do I do that?

you'r too late .. if you bought the 1024 ánd had the Linden home, your tier level is raised to 1024+512.

you'll stuck with that level for the remaining time of this billing cycle.

You had to abandon the Linde home before you bought the aditional land.

 

How to... is explained many times here, i'm sure search will show that:

stand in your house, open about land, and click abandon

Thanks. That's really depressing. It destroys the only reason I had for buying the property.

So if I abandon it now, I still end up paying the extra tier? ARGH.

it's just 4 usd for that raise, for the time of this billing cycle, after that you will be in the free level of tier. You can see at your dashboard /account summary when the cycle ends, it can be different from the billing cycle for your premium subscription itself.

na that billing cylce is only one month you have to pay for teh extra 512... after that you will have a much cooler space

Thank you. It's just $4, but it really gets under my skin that the 20 minutes I went over is going to cost me. Sigh.

even 1 second would do it... many people found that out, but its how the system sees your landholding.

It counts the use of the max you had during the cycle.

Be sure to go into the land manager and DOWNGRADE your tier allotment so that it says $0 after you abandon or you may get to pay that $4 again :D.  Also explained here many times :D.  If it says 0 then that is good. The method changes from time to time so always go to check that. Two months ago you definitely needed to move that radio button back to 0

All that radio button does these days is set the level at which you will be warned about tier increasing.  I've done it time and time again with alts over the last many months.  I'm pretty sure half my alts still have the button set at anywhere from 512 sqm to 8196 sqm. 

LL confirmed to me via chat that the current behavior is correct.  If anyone encounters an issue in the future then either they did not properly keep track of their billing dates and tier used or they need to talk to billing support.

And this is why you should make informed decisions.

Aka, educate yourself before wasting real life money. Hopefully this will be a good lesson learned.
