Hi folks. I want what I suppose most people to want: A small island or beach or maybe open water parcel to build on. From what I have read so far, if I buy a parcel outside mainland there will be another player with like godlike rights to my property. He can set the daytime, allow or forbid visitors and even delete my whole stuff if he´s angry. This is not only inacceptable, it´s quite the opposite of having an "own" place. Another possibility is getting a whole region myself. That would cost me like 200$ per month. This is just ridiculous. I wouldn´t mind spending like 200-300$ plus a monthly fee for a first class game I really like, but 2400$ per year is beyond reality. The best AAA-games in the industry are like 80-100$ once and maybe 20$ per month for membership, and I´ve tried them all. That´s ok with me to cover costs and keep it running, but come on, you must be joking. Second life has no quests, no dungeons, no storyline, it´s about interaction and building. And that´s what I want. So I assume the only possibility for me is getting a mainland parcel? Are there parcels considered mainland, who meet my needs, like tropical terrain and maybe 2000-4000 sqm? Will I be able to terraform and set my own rules when just owning such a small fraction? That would still be like 25$/month plus premium membership, but would be ok with me. Thank you for any helpful answers.
