For example:
*I have a piece of mainland in the edge of a sim.
*At the other side there's water but you can't go there because there's no sim.
Question:¿Can someone buy a sim in that empty slot? Or is it a protected water slot?

For the time being, it is not going to be purchased unless SL places a region in that square. It may happen eventually but not likely anytime soon.

It is not necessarily protected, but may stay empty for the time being.

If what you have is dry ground cut off unnaturally along the edge of a sim, then it would be reasonable to expect another sim to be placed there. If what you have is a sim at the edge of a continent with natural coastline terrain dropping into water that you can go on, then the chances of another sim going there are not high. We'd have to know where the sim was before giving an opinion - which opinion could be entirely wrong  If a sim is put there and if LL put it for sale, then it will go to auction. For mainland, you can't book and pay for a location for a mainland sim in the same way that you can for a private island.

Last year the Lindens altered quite a few mainland sims that once had raw straight edges - in most cases by adding a strip of new sims along that edge that had a more natural looking coastline. People who owned the land that used to be the edge suddenly found themselves hundreds of meters inland, with property that they could not purchase, or which had already been bought by someone else, between them and their former coastal access.
Changes like that don't happen often, but certainly *could* happen, if you own land adjacent to a space on the grid that has no real sim. Both mainland and private sims have this issue. If it happens to you, about the only thing you can do is sell and move.

From: Kahiro Watanabe For example:
*I have a piece of mainland in the edge of a sim.
*At the other side there's water but you can't go there because there's no sim.
Question:¿Can someone buy a sim in that empty slot? Or is it a protected water slot? Simple answer is no, it is not a protected water lot. I hate it when people call the land along a void "protected" and try to charge a ton of money for it. It's not likely that another sim will be plopped down there anytime soon, but as others mentioned, please be aware that one could be placed there any time. |
