So if I decide at the end of this year that I no longer want to be a premium account... do I have to give up my first land parcel that I got all that time ago? I sort of use it as my home, if I DO have to give it up... well... what happens to it?
What happens to it if I don't take any action?
I would like to keep my little free parcel of land, but I won't be using SL nearly as much as I did in the past, so there's not a lot of sense in me paying $70 or however much it is for something I won't really be using that much...

Basic accounts are not allowed mainland land. If it is found that you have it, it will be siezed, |

Yes, you'll have to give it up...only Premium members can own land. You can either abandon it, in which case LL takes possession, or sell it before your membership ends. If you do nothing, LL will reclaim it.

The best thing to do is sell it before you give up your premium account. NEVER abandon land. You could sell a 512 in minutes tonight for L$3350, more if you are willing to wait a while before it sells. By the end of the year you should be able to get a little more for it. After you give up your land, you can always rent. Rentals don't require premium memberships.

Well that sucks.
My desire to want to preserve things will win out in this one, I guess I'll go premium again.

Go on.... sign up for another year 'premium'! A year's membership is only about the same as you'd pay for a subscription to a glossy magazine or the price of one or two PS3 games.
If you want to keep your land, I think it's worth paying LL the cash for what they provide, even with its annoying foibles!
