Downgrading to basic but I want to change to quarterly, will my land be abandoned against my will?

[Akumu Akula]

I set my account to downgrade to basic from annual not knowing if i'd be using it agai, however I now own some land and I would like to keep it, so I logged in to change my account to quarterly billing, however, I won't let me change to quarterly until it goes to basic, won't this cause my land to be abondoned? and if so, I'd like to know how to avoid that.

That's potenially confusing, so I wouldn't trust any automated system to get it right.  If I were you, I would call Linden Lab's billing office and speak directly to a person to get it sorted out properly.  The answer to your question would be simple, of course, if your property were on a private sim, since you can own private sim land as a Basic member.

You don't need to downgrade to basic to change your membership plan.

I would call billing like Rolig said or, at least contact Live Help.  If you wait til your account goes basic you will loose all your land.
