Vera Biedermann Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I am looking at buying an 8256 m mainland parcel. It is 64 m over the 1/8 sim size, putting it into the 1/4 sim category at twice the price. Is this what I would be charged, or do they pro-rate based on the actual parcel size?

Sylvia Tamalyn Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 No, they don't prorate. Do you have a group that you can use to buy the land (using the "buy land for group") option? If you have a group own the land, you get a 10% land allowance bonus, which would help you stay at that lower price level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vera Biedermann Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 I went through with the purchase and am only paying $31.00 monthly land use fee, so apparently they are waiving the 64 m. Whew! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Did you subtract your free tier amount from the 8256? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qie Niangao Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Yeah, it may be worth a peek at https://secondlife.com/my/land/landfees.php to make sure you understand what's going on here. If the 8256 m² parcel is the only land you own (no Linden Home or anything), that US $31 monthly fee should buy a Premium subscriber 9216 m² total (8192 + 1024 Premium bonus) or 8704 m² with a Plus subscriber's 512 bonus, or 10,220 m² with the 2048 bonus of a Premium Plus subscriber. Then, in addition to this bonus free tier that @Rowan Amore points out, there can be that additional 10% bonus for group-deeded land that @Sylvia Tamalyn mentioned. A Linden Home parcel can't be deeded, but other Mainland can, and it's just a matter of forming a group with an alt in Owner role and deeding the land to that group. Doing both of these things will result in a substantial balance of additional Mainland and/or Linden Home you can own without paying additional tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Marques Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 @Qie Niangao Answered it perfectly. 10 hours ago, Vera Biedermann said: I went through with the purchase and am only paying $31.00 monthly land use fee, so apparently they are waiving the 64 m. Whew! However, I'd also like to add that LL does not waive anything when it comes to land. If you go even as little as 1 square meter above the land tier, you will be charged for the next (higher) tier. So be careful. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliJo Aldrin Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I’ve mentioned this before, but if you want to buy some land that is slightly over paid tier plus free allowance plus the 10% group bonus, contact the seller and ask them to cut off the excess and sell you the part you want for the original selling price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
