Dwell Accumulation

I tried posting this in the Technical Issues forum, but I guess no one reads postings there in the new forums arrangement. It would be great to get answers from a Linden, but I'm guessing some of the more clever residents would be able to answer some of these. I've modified one of the questions for new observations, and added another posed by His Grace.

------------------

I had my first event last night, and had over a dozen people there, most for over an hour. But I have yet to see the dwell number on my land change at all. So I have some questions...

1) What is the actual numerical impact on dwell by an av sitting on your land for 100% of its in-world time that day? I understand the amount of dwell you get is a proportional to the percentage of an av's in-world time - if they spend half their time in your land you get 1/2 their dwell for that day. But what is the base 100% value?

2) How long does it take for accumulated dwell to register for your land?

3) How often is a parcel's dwell total updated?

4) Dwell seems to be reset each morning after the previous day's dwell bonus is paid out. Correct?

5) If a resident or group owns several parcels, how is the dwell payout calculated? Are the amounts of dwell for all parcels added up and then dwell paid out on that total, or is dwell paid on the individual lower amounts?

6) Do I accumulate dwell for time I spend on my own land? On group owned land? If not, how does the time I spend on my own land affect the proportional amount of dwell paid when I visit other land - that is, if I'm on my own land for 3 hours then visit The Learning Center for a 1 hour primtionary game, does Jamie get 100% of my dwell or just 25%?

7) How is the dwell bonus distributed among group members? Is is just a straight split among all members?

I still dont believe dwell is working right. In the Road House I had 30+ people the other night for over 3 RL hours, once as many as 50 people for a time. My dwell said 94. I sent a letter to support the next day and they responded that they saw 3000+ in the dwell, I logged in and it showed that for about an hour, then dropped back to 94 again. It was stcuk at 1 for almost a week. Really, its bad for business, as people doing a search will see what looks like a dump with no one to hang with. Hope they fix it soon.

OK, the thread in Technical forum is getting some action. I guess I should have been more patient =)
