Any insights on what the various colors on the borders mean? and also ... I currently HAVE the parcel to the south as my linden home. WHEN I see the that red border has gone and the name of the region has changed, do I need to abandon my parcel BEFORE I make the ticket request, or can I make the request, possibly get the parcel I want and THEN abandon my current parcel? I'd hate to roll the dice, gamble and lose and then lose where I am right now. Any insights on that question?
