Increased tier when transferring land to a group?

Did you not remove your contribution when selling yourself back the land? Check the Land and L tab to see if you still have tier contributed to the group.

Usually when you transfer land back to yourself, the box is ticked to remove your tier contribution. So it's unlikely that that's the issue as you don't recall removing it, it's likely that you automatically did this.

Did you contribute any land to the group when you deeded it though?

when u take land out of an group, u need to remove the groep teir from the group and then get the land back under ur name

if u take the land out of the group first, u have 1024 in groep donation and 1024 in private holding so endup with 2048 with just 1 1024

HOW TO: DEED LAND TO A GROUP (TRANSFER FROM INDIVIDUAL TO GROUP)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Join or Create a Group
2. Set Land Contribution
3. Deed Land to Group


JOIN OR CREATE GROUP

If you haven't already, you need to join the group you want to deed land to, or create a group. Note: You will need 2 people to create a group (Primary and alt avatars will be sufficient).


SET LAND CONTRIBUTION

1. Select Edit >> Groups from the menubar. A list of the groups you belong to appears.

2. Highlight the group you want to donate to click the Info button. The Group Information box opens.

3. Click the "Land & L$" tab.

4. In the Your Contribution box, enter the amount you want to donate and click "Apply".


DEED LAND TO GROUP

1. Go to the land and right-click it. Select About Land from the pie menu.

2. Click on the General tab.

3. Click the Set button next to the Group name. A list of groups will appear.

4. Select the group you want and click Set.

5. Check the Allow Deed to Group box nad click the Deed button.

Note: Owner Makes Contribution With Deed combines these steps if you want a shortcut. This assumes you wish to deed and contribute equal amounts.

If you get an error that your group does not have enough land credits, first check that you selected the correct group and you allocated enough land in the first step above.

Known issue:
If you have a parcel that used to be owned just by one owner and is now to be group land, there is sometimes an issue with being able to allocate land to a group as the system is seeing the owner as trying to own double the land as opposed to trying to change his or her allocation.

How do I deed land to a group?

Deeding group land can seem like a complex task, but the following steps will handle the most basic scenarios.

To give land to a group, but continue to pay for it:

1. Right-click the land and choose About Land.
2. In the General tab, click Set and select the group.
3. Select Allow Deed To Group, then Owner Makes Contribution With Deed.
4. Click Deed.
If you're not an officer of the group you want to deed your land to, you'll have to ask an officer to click Deed for you.

i dont think it will allow you to donate tier you dont already have.

so if i had 4,096 in jan, only 512 in feb, then in mar i could donate 2048 to a group?

well thats fucked up.

If you release land holdings or donations and want to receive tier warnings at a new, lower level, you must tier-down using the radio buttons below. (You may remain at the higher tier level without penalty; tier fees are only charged for the total amount of land actually held within your billing cycle.) If you don't lower your tier and purchase more land, no warnings are sent, as you are still within the tier you allotted.
