    Agent Limit (Number of Avatars Permitted Per Region)

    in Mainland

    Posted

    I've had this happen to me, whats worse is even after hundreds of AR's from everyone in the region (and pretty charts showing proof) LL refused to do anything. It clearly falls under "Unfair use of region resources" (which was an AR category at the time) yet LL failed to do anything about it for years.

    Just like a certain spammer that I have been ARing for multiple years and nothing has happened there either. Honestly, I'm not sure if their backlog is multiple years long or if you have to be on their nice list to get them to actually take action.

    How much land you can own with paid membership without extra fees?

    1024m is correct (or 10% extra if it is group owned making it 1120m), as for the land next to yours you can submit a ticket asking for a 512m parcel to be created to the west of yours, just mention in the ticket you are expanding your land from 512m to 1024m.

    The current delay is ~10 days, after which the land will likely be sold directly to you judging by the location.

    PS. I think your dog ran away, I didn't see it when I was there. :(

    I got kicked and banned while looking for rental land a while back. I messaged the owner to ask why, and it turns out it was because of my profile. My profile says I'm Truth Hawk's mistress and a "hardcore Gorean" and she didn't want that sort of person living on her land. Obviously, those things in my profile aren't true, Gor is misogynistic and Truth isn't that silly, but people can make judgments based on what is in your profile and be unwelcoming as a result.

    People make all kinds of silly threats because of my profile because they think I visited their land to steal tenants from them when in actual fact I'm usually visiting a place because the land is set for sale or they posted on the forums and I want to see where they are.

    what happens if i dont pay for my full region estate

    If you just leave it and don't pay for it you are risking your account. LL will still charge you for the region and your account balance will go into the negative. Once it is negative if you do not pay it LL will suspend your account and ask you to pay it again, failure to do so will result in any mainland you own being auctioned to cover part of the cost, your estate region will be removed from the grid and your account will remain suspended until you pay the remaining balance.

    How to broach script use with neighbors.

    This is what I mean, from the Linden viewer:1856701005_Screenshot(15).thumb.png.7211a1e708a1991160eab62262b61d0c.png

    As I said, though, it only measures memory use, so of limited utility and difficult to interpret at best. Still, it gives some hint of where one's scripted stuff is scattered around a parcel.

    I'm surprised Prokofy doesn't know about this. It's one of the things I expect anyone in the rentals business to know about, especially someone that does mainland rentals.

    Why is "education" about *another person's over-usage of script time* going to help ME? It doesn't. I can educate myself out the wazoo. It's that neighbour who has no sense of "the commons" and needs to turn it into "the tragedy of the commons". 

    What isn't needed is "education" so much as LINDEN POLICY. Overuse of resources should be an abuse you can abuse-report. It was, in a way, in the past. The Lindens also provided ways to see individual parcel script usage. But let them decide without people having to look at all kinds of complex menus. If you are lagged on your land and believe it isn't you, AR your neighbour for resource hogging.

    Sure, it's good to sweep around your own door. I remember in the old days before the servers were forced to their current socialist 99/45 by force, i.e. making some scripts work slower if they have to in order to keep the overall sim better working, I would get a ticket that someone was experiencing lag that they believed was caused by their neighbours' chickens. But when I flew out there, Ma and Pa would be sitting on their rocking porch swing with shotguns, in all their bling and prim hair (of those days). Who was lagging the sim? They were. 

    I don't think there's a way to check script usage on one single parcel on the Mainland, in the viewer. You can with resident-made HUDs.

    What is the point in policy? There's already a policy regarding excessive region resources and it's useless so more policy is likely to be the same, very few of LL's policies actually seem to be enforced. Besides what good is a policy to enforce something users can't measure? You wouldn't tell your tenants to stay under a certain prim count if you had no way to see how many prims they use, would you?

    Currently, there is no reliable way to see script usage on mainland. Without estate tools you have nothing. Any resident made HUD that claims to tell you script usage is basically useless.

    So the logical solution is requesting dozens of parcles to saturate the market?

    No, because they will check the first few requests then just stop checking requests for awhile haha.

    it always been a possibility they send requested parcels to auction, they never hidden that, it's mentioned multiple times. When there was a indication a parcel would be wanted by more residents it wouldn't be for sale to one individual but go to auction.

    If a Linden reads here... perhaps can make a announcement for the current rules/use?

    Yes but the odds of it going to auction were basically 0 for a time, they now seem to be going back to the old policy (but it can be a bit random) the old policy is still the current policy.

    It was just theoretical idea - if it would be nice parcel, good location, and apparenly very old build on, something probably rezzed many years ago and not touched since then. I'm not looking for buying anything right now, but I do explore mainland and sometimes I see similar things on attractive locations, nearby water etc. 

    I've been really tempted to request some places like that but I know that if they do sell them to me (or put them up for auction) I'll be kicking myself for getting an old build removed.

    Until today I hadn't even realized that auctions were back, and that might well change the direct-sale practice -- and certainly consume some time for the Mainland-supporting Lindens.

    I believe this is why they started sending parcels to auction. Shortly after auctions came back they started sending requested parcels there so I believe anything before that point was them testing it with parcels that were not requested.

    And it means if someone is looking for land to buy, they actually should check not only abandoned parcels, but taken parcels too, because its possible to find nice spots still owned by groups in debt - and should be possible to ask LL to sell them, correct?

    TBH I wouldn't bother. Most groups aren't under tier so you will be creating tickets wasting time for both you and LL the majority of the time. Even if they are under tier, LL gives them a chance to increase the tier and keep the land so all you are really doing it getting LL some extra $.

    How long can land be still owned by group after they stopped to pay? I always though it would be maybe days? 72 hours or so? 

    Multiple years in my friend's case. His account was suspended for non-payment and I was donating ~20m tier to cover 4-8000m. it was there for years before LL Did anything about it.

    Is there ANY way I can go through Linden Labs and seize the land, because I've already put so much L$ into rent, and I feel that it's all being wasted on a rental company that, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists.

    Is this a mainland parcel? If it is an estate then you are out of luck completely, if it is mainland as I suspect it is open the group's profile and check the "Land & L$" tab. If the "Land available" is negative then you may be able to have LL "seize the land" as you put it. You will need to be premium however and you won't be refunded for any rent paid. Submit a ticket to LL saying the group is not paying tier on the parcel and you would like to buy it. LL will then contact the landowner and ask them to increase their tier. LL may seize the land while they do this however so your items may be returned. If they do not increase their tier to cover the land, LL will either offer the land for sale to you for L$1/m or put it up for auction to cover unpaid tier costs. If the land was not seized before this point then they will at this point seize it and return all objects.

    As for the rent... you could try put in a ticket explaining what happened. I am extremely doubtful LL will return the L$ as from their point of view you paid someone to rent land, you are renting the land, and it's none of their business (mainly this one).

    Now you can usually send in a ticket for any piece of abandoned land and request it be sold directly to you.

    Not lately unless you have a good claim or they think the parcel isn't suitable for auction (odd shape/size). At least that is what my experience has been.

    Frankly, with the amount of time I spend looking at land, it puts me off because I can spend days looking for a parcel only for it to go to auction (which ends at the worst time for me due to my timezone). Sure you can say the end time doesn't matter because I can set my maximum bid but only fools think that. Placing an early bid allows others more time to think about if it's worth outbidding you. It also means the price is likely to be higher due to this. While I could place what I believe is a good price as my maximum bid, if I check back and have been outbid that gives me time to re-evaluate the parcel and how much tier I have, deciding if I want to go higher than the price I previously set, except I don't actually get this opportunity because I won't be around for the final 6 hours.
