Does abandoned land still carry the tier cost?

[SydneyBloom]

Being a basic member I'm not even sure I can buy land, but if I can, and I buy abandoned land, does it still carry the tier cost (the land use fees)? In other words, if I can purchase a 512 sq. m. parcel, would I still pay around USD 5.00 per month?

Edit: Thanks, Lindal Kidd. That's what I thought but couldn't find out for sure. I appreciate the help.

If you buy it, it's not Abandoned any more...YOU own it.  Yes, you will pay the tier on it.

HOWEVER:  As a Basic member, you can't buy Mainland.  You'll need to upgrade to a Premium membership first.

BUT:  If all you buy is 512 square meters, your Premium membership entitles you to free tier on that much land.

SO:  You would pay $9.95 per month (your Premium membership), and buy the land for $L512 (Abandoned land sells at $L1 per square meter), but you would pay no further charges.
