Ever Wondered What Happens When Group Tier Donations Hits 1,000,000sqm?

Ever Wondered What Happens When Group Tier Donations Hits 1,000,000sqm?
No? Well, me neither.

Turns out it's a bit of a problem though. Your group becomes hosed. Total contribution goes to 1sqm of land (should be over 1million)

Land Available becomes the negative of "Total Land in Use" number.

The good news: if you withdraw tier to under 1million, it rights itself and wobbles on.

LL response: open a Jira ticket. Ya gotta see the humour in that.


If I hadn't landed my dream job of all time today, I'd be annoyed. As it stands, I guess it's just one more thing we'll work around.

this surprises me rofl..

I can't see such a JIRA getting a whole heap of votes


A work-around would be to create a new group for each 1,000,000 of donated tier.
But what happens when you hit 25 groups of 1,000,000m???


LINDENS!!! WE WANT MORE GROUPS!!!!!

Congrats on the job! I've been looking for my dream job for my entire life. I'm glad someone found theirs.

I have no comment on the tier donation issue, though. Just wanted to congratulate you on the job.

Ouch... nasty!

Don't laugh - I'm dealing with well over 2 million square meters myself and I'm a small land baron compared to lots out there - that would be three groups burned up for tier donations if I wasn't on a private estate!

I wonder if they even thought about this stuff back in 2003... a million square meters? Naaaahhh....

LOL the JIRA is a joke. The _only_ things that get looked at are the ones that are voted on extensively. And how many people would vote on an obscure issue such as over a million meters of tier?

As an example, I filed a JIRA on a very major issue regarding sculpts, figuring that the Lindens would see it. Nope, A MONTH went by. Finally I IMed the Linden in charge of sculpt development and now it is an assigned issue.

Moral of the story: JIRA is not for fixing actual bugs. It's a popularity contest. If you have an issue that isn't voted on but still important, you are SOL.

Yes. I started wondering that after I read your thread titile.

Most of the JIRAs I filed that ended up getting fixed had 0 or 2 votes (I think one had 7 votes).

My impression is the exact opposite of yours: votes don't make any difference in whether a bug gets fixed or not, they'll pick and choose whether it has 0 votes or 1000 votes.

Things like a solid step-by-step repro ("do this, then that" vs "use SL for 5 hours and it may happen to you" do make a big difference though. Without a repro something has to have a big impact before they'll look into (lack of a solid repro is what is - or was - keeping a fix for the dissapearing skirt issue from being forthcoming).

I agree with Kitty all my JIRA posts have been dealt with effectively and the latest had the most votes 31, before that all had between 0 and 7 votes.

That's very strange though, they should be using at the least an unsigned 32-bit integer, whose range of possible values is above 4 billion. Why would they put a restriction on it of a million? That just seems stupid, the fact that the number involved is not a power of 2 implies that it is not a technical limitation but an intentional one!

Do we know if it's a viewer issue (i.e only the viewer is reporting land 'debt') or a service issue (it actually thinks you have a land 'debt')?

With over a million sqm in the group it's impossible to buy land due to insufficient tier.

Wow. That is really, really, really bad. They sure didn't make the group land contributions scaleable for large operations. And then they tell you to open a JIRA? That's stalling for time because they don't know how to deal with it, sounds like.

So what are you guys going to do? Move some of it into another group as a workaround until someone gets around to fixing it?

Congrats for breaking the 1 million sq.m. mark, and of course on the new job!
