  1. Thank you for your condescension, I should have known you’d take my participation in your thread with a genuine query, as a personal attack. Although I don’t doubt that the parcels you’ve spotted have had their claim dates revised in preparation, the case shown by Lloyd’s post would indicate that it is not always the case, and it could happen at any time with any date shown. And with that, I’m done. Have a nice day.
  2. I’ve often found the claim date on Governor Linden owned land to be inaccurate. The case above shown by @Lloyd Overland looks most odd. The map clearly shows that the parcel had been up for sale at a very hopeful price by the original owner and then abandoned when the next tier was probably due (why on Earth they didn’t scale down the price as that date approached is beyond me). But rather than showing a claim date of that day, it shows as May 10. I have seen others in the past that have had a 2005 date which I have known to also be inaccurate. I have a tiny mainland parcel in Sansara which has a lovely view courtesy of a large tract of abandoned land. I shall be watching to see what happens with that land with great interest, because if it goes, resulting in the loss of view, then my parcel will surely follow suit.
  3. There was only a chalet and camper shown when I just looked. It would appear that the abandonments have not quite begun.
  4. Don't forget the map can take quite some time to update
  5. Although I really liked the idea of it being self contained, I do think the prospect of two points of contact to be able to travel to it is a good one. Connection or not, it HAD to be placed close to Bellisseria in order to be a part of it. With Zindra (the adult continent) so far away from the rest of the mainland and Linden Homes, it really is easy to forget it’s there, and I’ve often noticed a ‘them and us’ mentality in posts relating to it from residents of both sides. That’s really not something that I’d like to see for Bellisseria.
  6. Now that the map has updated some more over the fantasy homes it seems that another water edge has appeared at Barneys Fief which COULD perhaps be a tell-tale for a link to @Lloyd Overland's favourite fantasy region lookout spot, Hanshin. Could SSPE2539 and Barneys Fief be the 'portals' in and out of the new region perhaps?
  7. All packed up with tier released ready to move in!
  8. Ha! I'm currently on my Jeogeot parcel just a few regions west of you Lloyd, and can see on the map that someone has joined you
  9. Thanks for highlighting those points Nika I love that Bellisseria is such a big part of the connection of the continents, and initially when the portal situation was first mooted I wasn't sure whether to consider it a bad thing or not. But having given it a great deal of thought, and walked through the Fantasy demo area I've come to accept the idea of its containment as good idea. So much so in fact, that I've packed my boxes and moved out of my camper in preparation to settle in a new Fantasy home. I still have my Houseboat and Victorian on my alt and original av respectively, so can still enjoy travelling around, but I'm hoping that there won't be any posts from people wanting an airport in the Fantasy area so they can land their 747
  10. I thought the Fantasy area was not going to be joined to the rest of Bellisseria? If it doesn’t connect, you’ll not be able to look into it.
  11. Looking around the area you mention there's a slightly smaller parcel for sale at a little less L$/sqm, a few regions north of the one you mention. Looking at smaller parcels though, the L$/sqm rate increases drastically it seems. There's no way to know whether you'd be able to resell a parcel at a later date and cover your initial investment, and the amounts concerned really are too high to make one want to speculate. I really would advise you to look at renting. There are several estates in and around the Blake Sea, and some mainland water access parcels that are perfectly reasonable. If you have your heart set on owning, then I'd suggest watching parcels to see if they sell, although you're not going to know how much they actually sold for. Look out for purple overlay on the map, as these are auctions. You'll see the sort of prices people pay on those as they stay on the auction page a couple of weeks after selling. It's rare to see auctions in the area you want though, but having said that, there was a cluster recently which has added to the available rentals. Overall though, I think you're in for disappointment
  12. A parcel being set for sale at a certain price is no guarantee that it will sell for that. A parcel is only ever worth what another person will pay for it. As I mentioned previously, the double-prim parcels (and others in certain locations) get set for sale at a ridiculously high price in some cases, purely to get it highlighted on the map so that people find it and MAY then rent it. The owner doesn't want to set it at the market value in case someone buys it, and so it's set high to prevent that, or to give them a massive amount of compensation if someone does buy it.
  13. I don't think that land generally has increased at all in price. I've seen quite a few areas on various continents where land has been for sale for a while, and at reasonable rates, but not shifting. Certainly the 'double prim' regions have retained their popularity, and have been creeping upwards in price. So often though they're set for sale merely as a tool to attract rental business and so set at a higher than market price. I'd suggest having a look at the auctions and seeing what sort of prices parcels have been actually selling for on there. You can get a better idea of prices from actual sales rather than the ones for sale, as they can stay for sale for quite some time if the seller has over priced it.
  14. I was wondering how you got to the figure you did @Mollymews, it seems you used the contribution plus group bonus instead of the total contribution minus group bonus, so your figures marked in red on the quote above should be: 15,230 - 6,015 = 9,215 tier contributed by other group members 15,230 - 9,215 = 6,015 tier Reduce contribution to 5,120 (1024 prem + 4096 tier) 9,215 + 5,120 = 14,335 14,335 + 10% = 15,768 sqm 15,768 - 16,752 = -984
