Yes, it is true ! ALL land rental prices have been decreased. Smithers Daviau and the rest of the staff are telling the
truth ! Here are the NEW prices for ALL land:

L$1.21 per square meter per month for "normal prims" parcels (468 prims per 2048 square meters [sm])
Examples: 2048 sm = L$2478 per month, 4096 sm = L$4956 per month, 8192 sm = L$9912 per month, etc.

L$2.42 per square meter per month for all double prims parcels (936 prims per 2048 square meters [sm])
Examples: 2048 sm = L$4956 per month, 4096 sm = L$9912 per month, 8192 sm = L$19,824 per month, etc.

Enjoy this as long as we can afford this ! This is NO PROFIT pricing. Please tell your friends !

Thank you once again for your business !

Camping ban lifted on Gioia

|
Upon further investigation, I have decided to lift the camping ban
on Gioia. Gioia is still subject to Clause 0.3 of the Land Covenants.
0.3- CAMPING POLICY:   All forms of camping are completely forbidden on residential only sims. Camping is allowed on mixed/commercial sims. However, camping uses sim resources at a higher rate than normal. Tenants who use campers/camping are strongly advised to use this traffic tool with caution. If the lag becomes intolerable on a sim and/or if there are too many complaints from other tenants, camping will be forbidden on the sim. At the moment of the writing of this section, camping is forbidden on only 2 sims: Ecstasy and Galactica.
Sometimes a potential tenant or current tenant does not need a land parcel right away. They will use it, though, within 30 days. In these cases, Ecstasy Realty allows you to reserve a parcel with a substantial deposit on the sim parcel rent.

For example, you wish to reserve 2048 square meters for usage within the next 30 days. Normally, the rent on this parcel is L$4096 per month. Since you will not be actively using it, it's not fair to charge the full amount. However, reserving a parcel takes it off the market away from other potential tenants. Therefore, it is fair to charge a substantial percentage of that rent to reserve it, as much as you can afford to pay out of the full sim rent. Obviously, offering one linden is not adequate. A typical deposit on a space of that size is at least L$1000.

If you wish to reserve a parcel for more than 30 days, the deposit becomes much larger, because, again, you are taking the land off the market. Deposits can be refunded when you take possession and begin using the parcel, or you can simply apply the deposit to your first month's rent.

There is no need to instant message Steve Mahfouz on these matters. You simply calculate sim parcel rent by multiplying the square meters by L$2 per square meter per month (the current market rate) and then try to pay at least L$1000 out of that figure. The Estate Managers will be more than happy to assist you in these matters. Of course, all lindens, USD and Euros go directly to Steve Mahfouz and no one else.
Recently it has come to my attention that some residents of a few sims wish to change the ground textures of their sim. First, a little education: Every sim has four land elevation levels that cover the entire sim. I have asked Linden Lab if one can change the ground texture for an individual parcel, and the answer is no. If a ground texture is changed, it affects the entire sim or at least the quadrant on which it is changed. As of the date of this entry, that is the situation. At minimum, changing a ground texture affects 25% of a sim: Northwest, Northeast, Southwest and Southeast. To repeat, within those quadrants, one cannot customize ground textures per parcel. It is an all or nothing proposition.

When tenants rent with Ecstasy Realty, they expect to be treated with respect. I think, personally, a tenant has the right to his or her rented ground texture that they initially purchased. Therefore, unless 100% of tenants in a particular quadrant (NE, NW, SE, SW) want a ground texture changed, it will not be changed. I have considered this issue at length, and this is my final decision.

Tenants, please do not contact me on this issue because I will not respond to you. ALL communication must pass through Estate Managers, because 1) I trust them and 2) this is their job. If you cannot accept this policy, you are free to pursue other land rental options. I wish you and your family the best in 2008.

Per my recent website announcement, all communications about Ecstasy Realty land
must go through the Estate Managers FIRST. One of the co-Managers, either Smithers
or Gayle, will relay information to me as needed.

This policy now includes ALL BILLING MATTERS, including payment dates, number of
square meters and amount due. This is so the managers are privy to the same
information that I am. As of today, 100% of all tenant - landlord communication should
be going through an Estate Manager. The main reason for this policy is that I tend to worry
far too much about money when I am online. This new policy has eased my mind 
considerably and appears to be working well. Thank you again for your business !

If you cannot reach Smithers or Gayle, try IM'ing Deedee or Tar or Suge. DO NOT INSTANT MESSAGE ME, please. If an issue is so dire that it requires my intervention, they will contact me. Of course, this announcement will be made on the company blog as well, Ecstasy Realty in Second Life

Terms of Service


Welcome to Second Life! The following agreement (this "Agreement" or the "Terms of Service") describes the terms on which Linden Research, Inc. ("Linden Lab") offers you access to its services. This offer is conditioned on your agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained in the Terms of Service, including your compliance with the policies and terms linked to (by way of the provided URLs) from this Agreement. By using Second Life, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not so agree, you should decline this agreement, in which case you are prohibited from accessing or using Second Life. Linden Lab may amend this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion, effective upon posting the amended Agreement at the domain or subdomains of http://secondlife.com where the prior version of this Agreement was posted, or by communicating these changes through any written contact method we have established with you.

THE SERVICES AND CONTENT OF SECOND LIFE

1.1 Basic description of the service: Second Life, a multi-user environment, including software and websites.

"Second Life" is the multi-user online service offered by Linden Lab, including the software provided to you by Linden Lab (collectively, the "Linden Software") and the online environments that support the service, including without limitation: the server computation, software access, messaging and protocols that simulate the Second Life environment (the "Servers"), the software that is provided by Linden Lab and installed on the local computer or other device you use to access the Servers and thereby view or otherwise access the Second Life environment (the "Viewer"), application program interfaces provided by Linden Lab to you for use with Second Life (the "APIs"), and access to the websites and services available from the domain and subdomains of http://secondlife.com (the "Websites"). The Servers, Viewer, APIs, Websites and any other Linden Software collectively constitute the "Service" as used in this Agreement.

1.2 Linden Lab is a service provider, which means, among other things, that Linden Lab does not control various aspects of the Service.

You acknowledge that Linden Lab is a service provider that may allow people to interact online regarding topics and content chosen by users of the service, and that users can alter the service environment on a real-time basis. Linden Lab generally does not regulate the content of communications between users or users' interactions with the Service. As a result, Linden Lab has very limited control, if any, over the quality, safety, morality, legality, truthfulness or accuracy of various aspects of the Service.

1.3 Content available in the Service may be provided by users of the Service, rather than by Linden Lab. Linden Lab and other parties have rights in their respective content, which you agree to respect.

You acknowledge that: (i) by using the Service you may have access to graphics, sound effects, music, video, audio, computer programs, animation, text and other creative output (collectively, "Content"), and (ii) Content may be provided under license by independent content providers, including contributions from other users of the Service (all such independent content providers, "Content Providers"). Linden Lab does not pre-screen Content.

You acknowledge that Linden Lab and other Content Providers have rights in their respective Content under copyright and other applicable laws and treaty provisions, and that except as described in this Agreement, such rights are not licensed or otherwise transferred by mere use of the Service. You accept full responsibility and liability for your use of any Content in violation of any such rights. You agree that your creation of Content is not in any way based upon any expectation of compensation from Linden Lab.

Certain of the fonts in the Meta family of copyrighted typefaces are used in Second Life under license from FSI FontShop International. You acknowledge that you may not copy any Meta font that is included in the Viewer and that you may use any such Meta font solely to the extent necessary to use the Linden Software in Second Life and that you will not use such Meta fonts for any other purpose whatsoever.

1.4 Second Life "currency" is a limited license right available for purchase or free distribution at Linden Lab's discretion, and is not redeemable for monetary value from Linden Lab.

You acknowledge that the Service presently includes a component of in-world fictional currency ("Currency" or "Linden Dollars" or "L$"), which constitutes a limited license right to use a feature of our product when, as, and if allowed by Linden Lab. Linden Lab may charge fees for the right to use Linden Dollars, or may distribute Linden Dollars without charge, in its sole discretion. Regardless of terminology used, Linden Dollars represent a limited license right governed solely under the terms of this Agreement, and are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from Linden Lab at any time. You agree that Linden Lab has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate such Currency as it sees fit in its sole discretion, in any general or specific case, and that Linden Lab will have no liability to you based on its exercise of such right.

1.5 Second Life offers an exchange, called LindeX, for the trading of Linden Dollars, which uses the terms "buy" and "sell" to indicate the transfer of license rights to use Linden Dollars. Use and regulation of LindeX is at Linden Lab's sole discretion.

The Service currently includes a component called "Currency Exchange" or "LindeX," which refers to an aspect of the Service through which Linden Lab administers transactions among users for the purchase and sale of the licensed right to use Currency. Notwithstanding any other language or context to the contrary, as used in this Agreement and throughout the Service in the context of Currency transfer: (a) the term "sell" means "to transfer for consideration to another user the licensed right to use Currency in accordance with the Terms of Service," (b) the term "buy" means "to receive for consideration from another user the licensed right to use Currency in accordance with the Terms of Service," (c) the terms "buyer," "seller", "sale" and "purchase" and similar terms have corresponding meanings to the root terms "buy" and "sell," (d) "sell order" and similar terms mean a request from a user to Linden Lab to list Currency for sale on the Currency Exchange at a requested sale price, and (e) "buy order" and similar terms mean a request from a user for Linden Lab to match open sale listings with a requested purchase price and facilitate completion of the sale of Currency.

You agree and acknowledge that Linden Lab may deny any sell order or buy order individually or with respect to general volume or price limitations set by Linden Lab for any reason. Linden Lab may limit sellers or buyers to any group of users at any time. Linden Lab may halt, suspend, discontinue, or reverse any Currency Exchange transaction (whether proposed, pending or past) in cases of actual or suspected fraud, violations of other laws or regulations, or deliberate disruptions to or interference with the Service.

1.6 Second Life is subject to scheduled and unscheduled service interruptions. All aspects of the Service are subject to change or elimination at Linden Lab's sole discretion.

Linden Lab reserves the right to interrupt the Service with or without prior notice for any reason or no reason. You agree that Linden Lab will not be liable for any interruption of the Service, delay or failure to perform, and you understand that except as otherwise specifically provided in Linden Lab's billing policies posted at http://secondlife.com/corporate/billing.php, you shall not be entitled to any refunds of fees for interruption of service or failure to perform. Linden Lab has the right at any time for any reason or no reason to change and/or eliminate any aspect(s) of the Service as it sees fit in its sole discretion.

1.7 In the event you choose to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the posted pricing and billing policies on the Websites.

Certain aspects of the Service are provided for a fee or other charge. These fees and charges are described on the Websites, and in the event you elect to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, posted or linked at http://secondlife.com/corporate/billing.php. Linden Lab may add new services for additional fees and charges, or proactively amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion.

ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND REQUIREMENTS

2.1 You must establish an account to use Second Life, using true and accurate registration information.

You must establish an account with Linden Lab (your "Account") to use the Service, except for those portions of the Websites to which Linden Lab allows access without registration. You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form ("Registration Data") and maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You may establish an Account with Registration Data provided to Linden Lab by a third party through the use of an API, in which case you may have a separate, additional account relationship with such third party. You authorize Linden Lab, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your Registration Data. Linden Lab reserves all rights to vigorously pursue legal action against all persons who misrepresent personal information or are otherwise untruthful about their identity, and to suspend or cancel Accounts registered with inaccurate or incomplete information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that Linden Lab cannot guarantee the accuracy of any information submitted by any user of the Service, nor any identity information about any user.

2.2 You must be 13 years of age or older to access Second Life; minors over the age of 13 are only permitted in a separate area, which adults are generally prohibited from using. Linden Lab cannot absolutely control whether minors or adults gain unauthorized access to the Service.

You must be at least 13 years of age to participate in the Service. Users under the age of 18 are prohibited from accessing the Service other than in the area designated by Linden Lab for use by users from 13 through 17 years of age (the "Teen Area"). Users age 18 and older are prohibited from accessing the Teen Area. Any user age 18 and older who gains unauthorized access to the Teen Area is in breach of this Agreement and may face immediate termination of any or all Accounts held by such user for any area of the Service. If you reside in a jurisdiction where the age of majority is greater than 18 years old, you are prohibited from accessing the Service until you have reached such age of majority.

By accepting this agreement in connection with an Account outside the Teen Area, you represent that you are an adult 18 years of age or older. By accepting this agreement in connection with an Account for use in the Teen Area, you represent that (i) you are at least 13 years of age and less than 18 years of age; (ii) you have read and accept this Agreement; (iii) your parent or legal guardian has consented to you having an Account for use of the Teen Area and participating in the Service, and to providing your personal information for your Account; and (iv) your parent or legal guardian has read and accepted this Agreement.

Linden Lab cannot absolutely control whether minors gain access to the Service other than the Teen Area, and makes no representation that users outside the Teen Area are not minors. Linden Lab cannot absolutely control whether adults gain access to the Teen Area of the Service, and makes no representation that users inside the Teen Area are not adults. Adult employees, contractors and partners of Linden Lab regularly conduct their work in the Teen Area. Linden Lab cannot ensure that other users or any non-employee of Linden Lab will not provide Content or access to Content that parents or guardians may find inappropriate or that any user may find objectionable.

2.3 You need to use an account name in Second Life which is not misleading, offensive or infringing. You must select and keep secure your account password.

You must choose an account name to identify yourself to Linden Lab staff (your "Account Name"), which will also serve as the name for the graphical representation of your body in the Service (such representation, an "Avatar"). You may not select as your Account Name the name of another person to the extent that could cause deception or confusion; a name which violates any trademark right, copyright, or other proprietary right; a name which may mislead other users to believe you to be an employee of Linden Lab; or a name which Linden Lab deems in its discretion to be vulgar or otherwise offensive. Linden Lab reserves the right to delete or change any Account Name for any reason or no reason. You are fully responsible for all activities conducted through your Account or under your Account Name.

At the time your Account is opened, you must select a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and are responsible for any harm resulting from your disclosure, or authorizing the disclosure of, your password or from use by any person of your password to gain access to your Account or Account Name. At no time should you respond to an online request for a password other than in connection with the log-on process to the Service. Your disclosure of your password to any other person is entirely at your own risk.

2.4 Account registrations are limited per unique person. Transfers of accounts are generally not permitted.

Linden Lab may require you to submit an indication of unique identity in the account registration process; e.g. credit card or other payment information, or SMS message code or other information requested by Linden Lab. When an account is created, the information given for the account must match the address, phone number, and/or other unique identifier information associated with the identification method. You may register multiple accounts per identification method only at Linden Lab's sole discretion. A single account may be used by a single legal entity at Linden Lab's sole discretion and subject to Linden Lab's requirements. Additional accounts beyond the first account per unique user may be subject to fees upon account creation. You may not transfer your Account to any third party without the prior written consent of Linden Lab; notwithstanding the foregoing, Linden Lab will not unreasonably withhold consent to the transfer of an Account in good standing by operation of valid written will to a single natural person, provided that proper notice and documentation are delivered as requested by Linden Lab.

2.5 You may cancel your account at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation.

Accounts may be cancelled by you at any time. Upon your election to cancel, your account will be cancelled within 24 hours, but if you have paid for a period in advance you will be allowed to use the remaining time according to these Terms of Service unless your account or this Agreement is suspended or terminated based on our belief that you have violated this Agreement. There will be no refunds for any unused time on a subscription or any prepaid fees for any portion of the Service.

2.6 Linden Lab may suspend or terminate your account at any time, without refund or obligation to you.

Linden Lab has the right at any time for any reason or no reason to suspend or terminate your Account, terminate this Agreement, and/or refuse any and all current or future use of the Service without notice or liability to you. In the event that Linden Lab suspends or terminates your Account or this Agreement, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees, any content or data associated with your Account, or for anything else.

2.7 Accounts affiliated with delinquent accounts are subject to remedial actions related to the delinquent account.

In the event an Account is suspended or terminated for your breach of this Agreement or your payment delinquency (in each case as determined in Linden Lab's sole discretion), Linden Lab may suspend or terminate the Account associated with such breach and any or all other Accounts held by you or your affiliates, and your breach shall be deemed to apply to all such Accounts.

You must comply with all export and import laws and restrictions and regulations of any United States or foreign agency or authority relating to the Linden Software and its use.

Linden Lab's failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive Linden Lab's right to act with respect to that breach or subsequent or similar breaches.

This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Linden Lab with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Three week vacation

I am going on vacation for three weeks. I will return on Tuesday, March 4. All billing issues must wait until that time.  I will still judge the contest on Ecstasy on Sunday, February 17 at 10 AM server time.

If there are any sim emergencies, please IM an Estate Manager to help you. Thank you for your patience during my absence.

Caro Lojista,

Devido às más condições em Ecstasy Brasil, eu decidi vender a esta região. Segundo a Land Convênios, você tem 60 dias para deixar esse sim. Pedimos desculpas por qualquer inconveniente.

ENGLISH VERSION:

Dear Tenant,

Due to bad conditions on Ecstasy Brasil, I have decided to sell this sim (region). According to the Land Covenants, you have 60 calendar days to leave this sim. I apologize for any inconvenience.

" 7- If I need to "reclaim" your parcel to change the character of a sim, I will give you at least 45 days notice. Your existing lease will always be honored. Reclaiming under this clause is not the same as eviction. "

Knowledge Base Articles from http://secondlife.com

Second Life Info > Knowledge Base > Land and the Linden Dollar (L$) Economy > Estates and Private Regions >
Estate and Private Region FAQ

This article answers some general frequently asked questions about Estates and Private Regions.

Perhaps you have an idea for a huge project that you want to realize and you need a lot of open space to build. Maybe you and a group of friends and colleagues are looking for a gathering place that can expand as your community grows. Or maybe you have visions of a world under your own control, where you add land with each increase of your population.

In general, Estate ownership is an excellent choice for those who:

* Desire to acquire a large amount of land easily
* Wish to enjoy land ownership separate from the ever-changing Second Life mainland
* Want to build and control their Second Life experience without adjacent neighbors
* Require more land controls than those provided on the mainland
* Want to name the Region their land is in

How much will it cost?

Read the quick FAQ covering Estate billing and ownership here.

Some residents with older Regions pay a lower, grandfathered, tier fee. For more information about Estate pricing changes, please see the Estate pricing change FAQ.

We offer a discount to verified real-world educators and academic institutions (i.e. universities and schools) or 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that will be using the Regions to support their organization's official work. For those organizations, the setup and creation fee is US$980 and US$150 a month for maintenance. All educational and non-profit Estate orders can be placed from the Estate order page.

How long will it take?
Usually, Estates will be delivered in about 10 business days of placing your order. Please note that in some circumstances it may take longer.
Can I have a custom design?
You can upload your very own .raw file in the Estate tools. There are specific parameters for this -- please see the .RAW File Format article for further help.
Can a group own and use an Estate?
Estate owners can deed out the land on their Estate to a group. The actual ownership is not conveyed to the group (you still own the Estate) and group members cannot pay for the Estate by contributing land allocations. The owner (you) will always be billed the full Estate monthly payment no matter how the group land is set up. Read more about Estates and groups here.
What can I name my Estate?

Estate names must be no more than three words, with a total of less than 20 characters, including the space. You may not use the words "SL", "Second Life" or "Linden Lab" in the Estate name. All names must contain only alphanumeric characters; no punctuation, please. The name cannot be a real life city name. If you decide to change it later, there's a US$50 charge.
Can I include multiple Regions in my Estate?

Yes. Estate-level tools make it convenient to manage multiple Regions, too. If you have three Regions (A, B and C) in an Estate called Z, then to get to each of them you'll still need to teleport to those Regions by name. But if you wanted to, you could ban someone from the Z Estate, which will keep them from getting to any of Z's Regions. Also you could set the day/night cycle by Estate, so all your islands have night at the same time.
How do I place an order?
The easiest and best way to place and order is through the Land Store. If you have problems using the land store, you can contact the Concierge. All educational and non-profit Estate orders can be placed from this Estate order page.
What happens if my credit card payment is denied?
If your account is in arrears, for either monthly fees or membership fees, your Estate may be disabled until your account is restored to good standing. Once your account is back in active status, you may need to contact the concierge office to enable your Estate if it's down. No refunds will be given for time lost from accessing the Estate.
What if I don't want my Estate anymore?
You might consider transferring it to another person (see below). If you instead decide to simply terminate the ownership of the Estate, please contact us with your Second Life name and the name of the Region.
Can I transfer my Estate?

Estates are transferable by the original owner to another Second Life resident. The billing will continue on the same schedule and buyer will be billed for the full amount of the next month's payment. The cost of transfer is US$100 and will be billed to the seller. This payment is for the backend work by Linden Lab, which includes:

* Changing settings
* Billing transfer
* Changing the name
* Returning the Estate to original terraform (if desired)

The Estate can only be transferred as a single parcel. Any transfer of funds, whether in L$ or US$, must be handled between the original owner and the new owner. Linden Lab is unable to provide billing support, or to enforce any payment agreements between you and the new owner.

Before we're able to initiate a transfer, we'll need written confirmation (in the form of support tickets) from both the buyer and the seller. If you would like to transfer your Estate, both parties should submit an appropriate support ticket. Include the name of the Region in your ticket, along with the words "Estate transfer". Read this article for more details.
Can I sell a parcel on my Estate to someone else?

Yes; parcels can be sold to other residents, but you remain responsible for the monthly payments. You can make arrangements for these new parcel owners to pay you for use of the Estate, but that's between you and the other residents. Many Estate owners use the Estate's Covenant to explain their payment structure.
What is the prim allowance for an Estate?

The prim allowance for an Estate is the same as any other Region: 15,000.
Can I choose where my Estate is placed on the map?

By using the Land Store, you may chose your Estate placement. If you already own an Estate and want to purchase another, you may request the Estates be connected when it is first created for no extra charge. Please be aware it is dependent upon the flexibility of the map whether or not this will be possible. Also, we'll probably need to move the Estate as the world expands.
Can I change the terrain texture on my Estate?
Estate owners are able to change the texture on their land by using the Ground Textures tab in the Region/Estate window.
Can I terraform my Estate?
You can terraform your Estate plus or minus 100 meters.
Can I move my Estate?
Yes, you can request your Estate to be joined with another person's Estate or with another one of your own Estates. See this article for more details.
How do I allow others to post events for my Estate?
Estate owners are allowed to post events on their Estate by default if the Estate is visible. If you would like other residents to have the same ability, simply add them to your Allow list in the Estate tab of the Region/Estate window.
What other controls do I have?

Plenty. See this article on the Region/Estate window for more details.
Someone mentioned a "rollback" to me; what is that?

Get the right information regarding Estates and rollbacks here.
I've heard about "openspaces" or "voids" -- what are those?

Openspaces are low-prim Regions and can be purchased in four-packs only, by existing Estate owners. Read more about openspaces here.
Who should I contact if I have any questions or additional request for my Estate?

Submit a support ticket using the Region Issues ticket type.

Estates, Private Regions, and Groups

This article discusses how Estates and Private Regions work with groups.
Can I deed my Estate to a group?
If you are the Region owner, or the covenant on the Estate allows you to resell the parcel, you can. However, this process is handled slightly differently than on the mainland.

* Preferably, the group you select should not own any land on the mainland. Since Estate land and land on the mainland are handled differently, a group that owns both can be complicated greatly. This may also cause your group to lose certain features (such as traffic reporting) that are calculated differently for Estates and the mainland.
* The Estate owner is the only person responsible for paying Linden Lab for that land; it doesn't fall under any of the normal mainland rules for land use fees (tiers, group land contributions, etc). Thus, you should not select the Owner Makes Contribution With Deed checkbox, as the Estate land requires no contribution.

The proper steps to follow to deed Estate land to a group are:

1. Select World > About Land to open the About Land window.
2. Select the group you want to deed to. As always, you must be have the ability to deed land to this group.
3. Select the Allow Deed to Group checkbox.
4. Click the Deed button.

The Owner Makes Contribution With Deed checkbox should not be selected!
What can group members/officers do on my group-owned Estate land?

* Just as on the mainland, different roles within a group can have different abilities.
* Group members will not gain access to the Estate tools.
* Group land on an Estate can be reclaimed by the Estate owner at any time.

How to Use the Edit Terrain Tool

To access the Edit Terrain tool, just click on your land and select Edit Terrain from the pie menu that appears. This opens a menu with many different tools to assist you in editing your land.
Terraform

Use the Select Land option to select the land you would like to edit and then select the Flatten Land, Raise Land, Lower Land, Smooth Land or Roughen Land options to pick the way in which you'd like to alter the land. Click the Apply to Selection button to terraform the whole selected plot. The Revert Land option returns it to the original shape if things get out of hand.

You can also use the dropdown menu labeled Small, Medium, or Large to choose the size of your "brush" and "paint" the effect on by left clicking on portions of your land. You can also hold down the left button to terraform faster.
Show owners

Selecting this checkbox offers a color code to the land:

* Reddish brown is land owned by others
* Green is your land
* Aqua is land owned by a group that you are a member of
* Grey is the rare public land
* Purple is land in the auction system

Subdivide

You may want to break a parcel of land into multiple pieces, for example if you want to sell part of it. Select the section of your land by pressing down the left mouse button and dragging to create a rectangle of the land you want to subdivide and then click the Subdivide button.
Join

If you want to connect two or more pieces of land that you own, drag a rectangle that overlaps all the land parcels you want to join and click the Join button to combine them into one. You can now use the About Land tool to set the features for this new piece of land.
Abandon Land

When abandoning land keep in mind you do not get Linden dollars back -- so you should really only do this if you're feeling generous or you don't have time to sell the land.

How does group-owned land work?

Second Life groups can unify their projects and vision through group-owned land. Group-owned land is held by the group, not by any one group member. In order for the group to own land, it must have land contributions, which are donations that members make from their own personal land allocation. The group can own a total amount of land whose size in square meters equals 110% or less of the sum of all group contributions.

Important: Remember that even after your group has sold some or all of their land holdings, if your intention is to "tier down" and not be billed for it, you must remove land contributions to your groups.

To do this, go to Edit > Groups, and double-click the group in question. Then, click the Land & L$ tab. The Your Contribution field needs to be set accordingly. It can be set to 0 if you want to contribute nothing at all.

Group Owned Land - Your Contribution to 0

Total Contribution must be equal to or more than Total Land In Use, or your group risks losing that land.

See How do I change or remove group land contributions? for more information on setting group contributions.

Managing group land contributions can be confusing for many Second Life Residents, so here's an example:
Example

Adam, Bob, and Carol are all members of the "We Love Pretzels" group. They wish to purchase 4096 square meters to build their ultimate pretzel paradise, Pretzeltopia. Since no one person has enough land allocation to buy that much land without paying higher-tier land-use fees, the plan is to have the group own the land, with group land contributions from the group members.
Adam

Adam is a premium subscriber. He doesn't own land, but as a premium member, he can own or contribute 512m2 without additional land-use fees.

Adam's Current Tier: 0(+512) = 512
Adam's Land Owned: 0
Adam's Group Contribution: 0
Adam's Total Land Usage: 0
Adam's Remaining Allocation: 512 - 0 = 512

He decides to donate his 512m2 allocation to the group. He doesn't own land, but his 512m2 is now tied up in the group. He can't buy any more land without going to the next land tier (and paying higher land-use fees.)

Adam's Current Tier: 0(+512) = 512
Adam's Land Owned: 0
Adam's Group Contribution: 512
Adam's Total Land Usage: 512
Adam's Remaining Allocation: 0
Group Total Contribution: 512
Bob

Bob is a Premium member, and owns 3584m2 of land already (which puts him in the 4096(+512) land tier).

Bob's Current Tier: 4096(+512) = 4608
Bob's Land Owned: 3584
Bob's Group Contribution: 0
Bob's Total Land Usage: 3584
Bob's Remaining Allocation: 4608 - 3584 = 1024

Since his maximum allocation is 4608m2, and he currently owns 3584m2, he has 1024m2 to spare. He contributes this 1024m2 to the group. Since his total usage is now 4608m2 he will be unable to buy any more land without moving up a land tier (and paying higher land-use fees).

Bob's Current Tier: 4096(+512) = 4608
Bob's Land Owned: 3584
Bob's Group Contribution: 1024
Bob's Total Land Usage: 4608
Bob's Remaining Allocation: 0
Group Total Contribution: (512 + 1024) = 1536
Carol

Carol is a Premium subscriber, but doesn't own land. However, she's willing to increase her tier to help the group meet its doughy desires.

Carol's Current Tier: 0(+512) = 512
Carol's Land Owned: 0
Carol's Group Contribution: 0
Carol's Total Land Usage: 0
Carol's Remaining Allocation: 512 - 0 = 512

Doing a little kitchen math, Carol figures she needs to go to the 2048(+512) tier to support Pretzeltopia's planned land purchase. She confirms the tier change (to 2048), and contributes all her allocation to the group's land contributions.

Carol's New Current Tier: 2048(+ 512) = 2560
Carol's Land Owned: 0
Carol's Group Contribution: 2560
Carol's Total Land Usage: 2560
Carol's Remaining Allocation: 0
Group Total Contribution: (512 + 1024 + 2560) = 4096
The Group

The group now has 4096m2 of contributions from its members. Groups get a bonus allocation, equal to 10% of the total group contributions members give. As a result, the group can actually own 10% more than its individual members could.

Total Contribution in Group: 4096m2
Total Amount Group Can Own: 4096m2*1.1 = 4505m2

All that remains is for one of the group officers to go to their future home, right-click the land, select About Land, and click on Buy For Group. (Buy For Group allows an officer to send the land directly to the group without owning it themselves. Use this when you've already made group contributions ahead of time, like We Love Pretzels has.)
Additional Information on Group Land Allocation:

If at any time a group owns more land than they have land contributions for, Linden Lab will contact the founder of the group and let them know they need to either contribute more land allocation or release land within 72 hours, or else risk losing some of their land.
Notes:

* Group-owned land refers to the group for all aspects of ownership.
* Like Linden Dollars paid to a group, parcel directory fees are divided evenly among all group members.
* Object return tools consider objects along the following lines:
o Owned by parcel owner are group-owned objects
o Set to group are objects set to the group but owned by group members
o Owned by others are all objects not owned or set to group (including objects owned by group members but not set to group)
* If group-owned land is sold, the L$ received is distributed evenly the next day to everyone in the group (members and officers) who has the ability Pay group liabilities and receive group dividends (in the Accounting category of group abilities).
* If you own land that you've deeded to a group and subsequently abandon it, the land is returned to Governor Linden and is lost to the group. After abandoning your land, you still need to adjust the amount of land you've donated to the group in order to be billed accurately.
* Land tier donated to a group is always considered active, whether or not it's currently being used to hold land.

Group Roles

Group roles give group owners a fine degree of control over their members' access to the group's abilities. Using group roles, a group owner may assign different levels of privileges to groups of members. Additionally, each group Role can be assigned its own title for members to wear. Each group can contain up to 10 roles, including Owners.

By default, all groups start with three roles:

* Owners: Group owners have full control over their group, and have access to all group abilities. The Owners role cannot be deleted or edited.
* Officers: Officers have broad, but not unlimited powers within the group. The Officers role can be deleted or edited by group members with the appropriate abilities.
* Everyone: Everyone in the group, regardless of other assigned roles, falls into the Everyone role. This special role defines baseline abilities for everyone in the group.

Creating New Roles


To create a new group role:

1. Go to Edit > Groups
2. Highlight the group you want to edit, and press the Info button.
3. Go to the Members & Roles tab on the Group Information window.
4. Click the Roles tab under the Members & Roles tab.
5. Press the Create New Role ... button
6. Assign abilities to the new role under the Allowed Abilities frame.

Abilities

Abilities define a role's level of control over group matters- land, money, membership, titles, and more.
For a complete listing of group abilities and their descriptions inworld:
Go to Edit > Groups

1. Highlight the group you want to edit, and press the Info button.
2. Go to the Members & Roles tab on the Group Information window.
3. Click the Abilities tab under the Members & Roles tab.
