I purchased a parcel today..a 1024 for 12300 lindens and divided it for resale….I split it into two 512 parcels…and then went to put them both up for sale for 7150 each…I definitely had a green line down the center of my parcel…dividing it into two parcels…I put one up for sale for 7150, and the second that I clicked the confirmation for putting it up for sale…the green line disappeard…the parcels reverted into a single parcel of 1024 again, and a landbot swooped it in half a second A landbot run by Zor Zeddmore, of course both the bot and Zor ignore my request to make things right…so I am out 5150 lindens…and so I called the concierge support, to fix this obvious problem…

I got hold of Guy Linden, and he came to the parcel and did some sort of “examination” while I waited..then told me he could do NOTHING. There is obviously an undocumented bug in the system…I am hardly in the habit of buying land and selling it for much less than I buy it for…and I sure saw the green line on the parcel.

So…basically, the lindens are supporting the “right” of the landbots to rip us off, because of a bug in THEIR systems????…I want everyone to know…buy land at your own risk in this game…you have a better chance keeping your money if you just flush it…

You reap what you sew! Frankly the amount of sympathy I have for people such as yourself: 0. These practices have forced normal folk off of the mainland. Don't care if you lose money to a bot. This should be in a comedy forum, because I'm lmao.

Oh, and this is not a complaints forum.

You do realize it is against forum rules to name names right? It was my understanding he fixed the issue yet you continue to spam. Why?

There certainly is a lag issue with servers being updated and I sympathise with your dilemma, my advise is wait a day after carrying out parcelling and double check that all is okay before putting land up for sale. The offical line is that the databases are 'updated' every hour, unless of course they do a rollback, hence why I say wait 24 hours.

Of course if you had a bot setting your land prices you'd never make this mistake ;)
