I have questions about land here, hopefully someone can answer this. A friend asked me this but I don't know anything about it but I'd like to as well as answering her too.

It was said, when checked under 'contributions' in group it showed person A having 7000 and person B having 3000sq m. These are the two people living and owning certain lands. Yet the land itself is only slightly larger then 8000.

So does it mean one of the two people here own land somewhere else?

Does this total the land owned by both persons even if one of the lands or lands are elsewhere?


I figured I'd asked here.

Thank You

A contribution to a group should be higher or equal to the amount of land held within the group. The contributions essentially is the pool of land available for your group.

If you adjusted how much land you contributed you would either be able to tier down or purchase land for personal use, or you will be able to donate that extra land to another group.

Well, people contribute *tier* to a group, not land. The group may own land if members have contributed sufficient tier to maintain this land. In your example these two indivuduals seem to contribute more tier thn the group currently needs to maintain the land, hence (i) the group could buy more land or (ii) tier contributions could be reduced or (iii) it's OK (albeit a little wasteful) as it is.

Due to the 10% tier bonus for group contributions, intelligent tier management through two or more residents (one may be an alt) is one of the best ways to keep monthly ter fees as low as possible.
