Hi, I recently found my dream mainland plot to rent, paid my L$ upfront and was keen to start rezzing my stuff right away. However, there was no group invite offered and the button asking for a group invite on the rental box dropdown didn't offer me one either, it just said 'you should have a group invite now', but there wasn't one.
I searched up the group, but you do need an invite to join and without one I can't rez anything on the land. Maybe this is why the perfect plot was still lying vacant!
This was a couple of days ago. Since then I have sent the landlord a couple of IMs and a notecard, just in case his IMs were capped, but they have never appeared online. They appear to be a 'one-man-band' kind of operation.
I realise that RL happens and that the landlord may have problems of their own and can't get online, but if they never return and I don't get to use my plot ever, is there any means for me to claim a refund at all, or is that it?
I have been a casual user on SL for around 16 years, in one form or another, and I must have been pretty lucky, as this has never happened to me before. What, if anything, can I do now?
Moral of the story~ if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!
