Just a word to the Lindens - I think it would be VERY helpful if you listed the number of prims a parcel can support in the auction announcement.

Oh, and anyone... what is the new formula for figuring prims per square m?

THanks!

In general,

prims = (land sq meters / 65536) * 15000

However there will be exceptions to this, especially if LL goes through and re-evaluates the prim limit for each sim individually, as was stated would be done at some point.

Thanks, Kex... I thought that was the old formula. Got it backwards!

Anyone else notice there are only two plots close to the current monthly subscriber base alotment, parcels 10 and 12, and both of those auctions are for US$? All the L$ auction ones are just over the limit, requiring a teir-up.

Maybe there will be more options in future auctions.

? Lots of lots are for WAY under the allotment! Heck, there are some for 240m2.

I'm talking about buying contiguous pieces that are near the 1024m alottment grandfathered monthly subscribers receive.

Lots 10 and 12 qualify, but are both US$ auctions.

There are quite a few that are just 100 or so meters over the limit though.

There are a ton of 512s, the new monthly subscriber limit, but how on earth would a new account be able to afford a L$ auction price yet?

I am curious as to why they wouldn't combine some 512s to make correct sized plots for current monthly people.
