Openspace Region overview
Openspace Regions are a type of Private Region intended for light use such as water, hills, or forest. They are not intended for building, home rentals, or events. To own an Openspace Region, you must also own a normal Private Region.
Openspace specifications include:
- Available to Full Region owners only
- Lower price than a Full Region or Homestead
- Events and Classifieds are not permitted
-
Comes with lower usage limits than Full Regions or Homesteads:
- Land capacity set at 1000
- Concurrent avatar limit set at 10
-
New Openspaces are no longer available for sale via our automated land store, but can be purchased by contacting our Support team.
- Please log in to your Second Life account, and on the Support Portal website, select Submit a Support Ticket.
- For the Issue Type, choose Land & Region
- Under Land and Region, select Order Private Region
- The setup fee for a new Openspace is $99 USD.
- Monthly fee of $60 USD.
You may optionally convert four Openspace Regions into a normal Private Region or you may convert a Private Region into four Openspace Regions, provided that you will have at least one normal Private Region afterward.
Definition of "light" use
Normal Private Regions each run on their own dedicated CPU on the Second Life servers. The Openspace regions run four per CPU; this allows us to provide more regions to you at a lower cost, but limits the performance of those regions.
It is important to understand that Openspace Regions are not for building, living in, renting as homes, or using for events. Some ideal usages for an Openspace region include open water for boating, scenic parkland for horseback riding, or other light recreational and scenic purposes. We do not advise more strenuous use than this and generally will not be able to assist with performance issues if the Openspace region is being used for anything more resource-intensive than these suggestions.
Converting Openspace Regions
Openspace Regions may be converted into standard Private Regions or Homestead Regions. For full information on how to convert between the different Private Region types, see Converting Private Regions.
Other rules relating to Openspace Regions
To continue to own Openspaces, you must also continue to own at least one normal Private Region (Island). If you transfer your last region, you must also transfer the Openspaces to someone eligible to own them or give them up, since you cannot own Openspaces on their own.
You can sell Openspaces to another Resident, but the new owner needs to own a Private Region already to be eligible to own an Openspace Region. The normal region transfer fee applies and is charged to the seller.
Multiple Openspace transfer:
If you are transferring multiple Openspaces to the same person, we may be able to offer bulk region transfer fees. For up to 4 Openspaces in the same transfer, the fee will be USD$100 total. After the first 4 Openspaces, the transfer fee is USD$100 per region.
Examples:
- You're transferring 3 Openspaces to the same buyer. You'll be charged USD$100.
- You're transferring 6 Openspaces to the same buyer. You'll be charged USD$300.
- You're transferring 2 Openspaces to one buyer, 5 to another, and one last one to a third buyer. You'll be charged USD$100 on the first transfer, USD$200 on the second, and USD$100 on the third.
- You transfer 2 Openspaces to a buyer this week, then decide to sell them 2 more next week. You'll be charged USD$100 for each transfer.
Renaming or moving an Openspace region costs the same as moving or renaming a Full or Homestead region. For more information about moving and renaming private regions, please see Managing Private Regions.
The owner of an Openspace must be the same as the payor.
