I'm not denying there's land there allegedly for sale, but at silly prices. Nor am I saying land isn't selling. Neither of those are prevent there being a land glut. Are those numbers, however approximate daily? Because there are for sale, as non-first land at the moment some 5898 plots. If we chop 10% for land that's not really for sale, that's still 5300 plots actually up for sale (and that's not counting first land and land for auction). We're also not looking to see how many plots and sqm are added each day... Sadly the economic stats page don't let us see this easily. Looking back at those stats at midnight yesterday there were 6201 plots, the day before 6141. So there was (for 24h at least) an increase in the land for sale, however many we chop out. Today it looks like there might be a decrease (or a problem with their counting either on the website or in world). Despite this potential decrease I'll still say there's a glut. Without ANY new land being added (unlikely), there's still months worth of land already supplied out there, hence a glut.


yes those numbers were daily.... here's todays thus far

Plots Bought: 79
SQM Bought: 84,768
$ Spent: $239,892

Plots Sold: 48
SQM Sold: 55,264
$ Earned: $288,497

these come from a 'few' land barons, and in now way represent a whole... just a small percentage. The economic history does suck... thats why Ive written the program im using. I hope to eventually add more landbarons to the system as then better tracking of a land glut/land boom can actually be seen

i do agree.. land is slow the past few weeks.... its a tough market. I dont know if people are holding off till the 1.12 updates to see the new land tools or what. Also I dont even know if private land available will show up in the normal search. If THAT happens, over 1 day the market is going to flood with land from all the private islands that never previously showed up in search.

Profits from land swooping seems to give members of your group enough cash to buy land to build grief walls next to my land, so it cant be all bad.

Go have a look for yourself, your group's name is plastered all over it. It's Tenjin 14, 230

and personally i dont care what other members of my group do... I'm not doing it, and you shouldnt blame an entire group over one person

It was your group's members who caused that thread to be closed by attacking me.

Has everything to do with this thread because the underhanded landswoopers are richly profiting while respectable business are not.

*picks himself back off the floor* I fell out of my chair laughing at the visual idea of this .... You should just have some character dressed as an old women screaming "Wheres the beef?!!" to finish it off ...

No, you only invented and scripted devices to constantly keep an eye out for errantly and low priced land in their sim and inform you immediately.

You bought land. Just like other swoopers did.

You are just like those you accuse. Period.

Deny it and you are a hypocrit on top of it.

You're wrong.

I'm really sorry this happened to you and your wife Thadicus. I did the very best I could, but I deeply encourage you to file the AR about this. These scammers need perma-banning.

Look troll, I NEVER took land from anyone who didnt intend to sell to me.

Unlike this band of thugs who swoop land at 1 dollar and resell at 19000, that's 19000% profit, yet you have the audacity to accuse me of swooping while excusing Dragon and his gangsters?

Whos the troll swooper? I have the truth backing me up, down to your threads complaining about an update that killed your land scanners.

Your accusation of troll is false, but my accusation of swooper is true.

I never complained about anything, I reported my postion. The thread lived a long life and remained open.

You have proven yourself as a troll, so don't play word games with me.

Everyone pay special attention to post 5. Even a known freebie reseller knows weedy is a swooper.

Seems you now accuse me of stealing land and trolling. I guess that warrants another AR.

You bought the land from another group member, knowing full well he swooped it from them for 1 dollar.

Please do not regulate who I can sell to - Thanks! And what does that have to do with this thread?

To answer the topic of the thread - no one is going to front that much money to buy out the market. They would be doing so at a loss, especially with all the 999,999,999 plots
