Cate Foulsbane Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Something I just noticed today. Maybe it was there all along, but it didn't sink in until today. I pay tier to the region owner for a 1024 parcel in a private region. That particular 1024 is also added to my mainland sq m's...so I am paying LL tier on that, too. If this is fair, that I should pay twice for one parcel, then I wish somebody would explain WHY. Thanks ahead of time.

Love Zhaoying Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 If you are living on someone else's private region, it's not really "tier", it's more like you are paying "rent". "Tier" only applies when you "own" a mainland parcel or a Linden Premium home. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying you're paying for premium to have 1024 worth of linden home or mainland, you picked mainland to use your 1024 but also have to pay rent to the land owner why you have to do that? if so land is not free unless it comes with a linden home. edit: land is not usually free** Edited April 3, 2023 by benchthis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchthis Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 @Count Burks Do you have any 1024 parcels anywhere I can apply my premium 1024 land for free? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrie Juran Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 There are three things that you can do with your 1024 sqm allowance. 1. Get a Linden Home 2. Purchase a 1024 sqm plot on Mainland and pay no additional fees. 3. Donate the allowance to a group that has "Group Owned Land" Your 1024 sqm allowance has no effect on an Estate. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polenth Yue Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I'm guessing the confusion is that if you go to the "My Mainland" page, it shows private region land as well. But you're not charged for that via the regular tier payments and it can't count for your included tier. It should say 0 under the "Billable Size" column if it's on a private region. If there's a value in the "Billable Size" column, it's mainland or a Linden Home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to put the name/location into such a public place....but it is private region. My landlord pays a company for the A land and then he divides the A land into B parcels. I pay my landlord monthly tier for my B parcel. I also have quite a bit of mainland land and pay LL tier for the sq m's. I get 1024 free (Linden home) from LL but that isn't counted in my total mainland tier. What IS counted, and which boggles my mind, is my B parcel on PRIVATE land for which I pay a monthly tier. I pay tier to LL for mainland sq m's and I pay LL for PRIVATE sq m's. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 There's no way for LL to charge you for land you rent from another resident which is what you're doing on the Private estate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My land page shows two places I own,. the one freebee 1024. and the private A place but shows no billable size for that one. It adds up to 15,440. I then go to the tier levels page and it says I have 16464 sq m's. When I subtract 15, 440 from 16464, I get 1024. Ok Ok I am horrible with maths. But does this make sense?

Yes, the private parcel is 1024. I have my 1024 Linden neat and tidy ticky tacky suburban house and also a ramshackle joint on a bayou with some bugs and chickens and weeds and stuff which, thankfully, no gators have had for dinner...yet. Somehow all of that is on a 1024. Two parcels, each 1024..one is free and one I pay rent/tier for on a monthly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i know...they have been so good to me re: land stuff I mangle. I could tell stories..but I wont. Last time my brain shorted, and I accidentally dumped a ton of land, I used that route and ended up with a helpful LL who spent a good half hour with me trying his best..and never once seemed about to shoot me. My partner now calls him Saint Linden. I will wait a bit before I bother those folks yet again. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP AND ADVICE..THANK YOU ALL! i AM NOW TAKING MY HEADACHE TO BED.

The costs for the private region land shouldn't show up in the total at the bottom, just what the mainland costs you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came with when you in theory upgraded to premium plus? you crunched your land numbers and got more unaccounted for land difference of 1024.

Jaylinbridges Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) LL has no idea that you rent a parcel from another landlord on a private parcel. Mainland tier is only paid directly to LL when you own mainland. But I think you already knew that. There is sort of a weird bug though if you rent a parcel on a private region and the private parcel owner sets the land for you to buy in your name AND you already own land on the mainland. LL says this might increase your tier cost, if you also own mainland as a Premium member. It made me do a double take before I rented the land on a private region. But it had no effect on my LL tier, just a strange bug in their land purchase page warning messages. Edited April 4, 2023 by Jaylinbridges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
