So, they advertise that if you are a new land owner you can search for “First Land” and buy land at a 1/1 rate. I’ve been looking for a month and there has never been any “First Land” available. The system never prevents old players from getting new accounts to take the First Land and then reselling it for a much higher rate, and then moving the money to the old account. If I wanted a Capitalistic race for resources, I’d just play in Fist Life. LAME!

HIYA SEVEN  GOOD DAY TO YOU! It may not seem like such a good day since you didn't get First Land, but I encourage you to be patient. Some friends of mine just got First Land the other day--it can be quickly snapped up, but if history is any indication, new First Land will be available soon, prolly in a few days. Malra on the new southern island got put up for First Land, and chances are more around there will be too. It's really quite a nice, fresh geographic location (I've strolled around), so don't give up! Hang in there and hopefully you will get it.

Hi Seven. I just wanted to say that I tried getting first land with my alt once, and it didnt work. But the account had the exact same payment details as my main account, so that may be the reason. Anyway, what I really wanted to say, is that it seems like they put out first land on a pretty regular basis. However, either the land sales tool is borked, or they somehow fail to mark the land correctly in order to show up as first land in land sales. I've seen lots and lots of first land NOT listed in land sales. Latest incident was in the new continent down south, in the sim Malra. Only a couple of plots were marked as first land in the land sales tab, even if there were at least 50 of them available there. (They are all taken now) The reason I know is because my girlfriend is always looking for first land plots resold at a reasonable price. She has a side-business that caters to new players especially, so to her it makes sense to establish shop close to where there are lots of potential customers having a go at their first land. When the area has developed a little further, she sells the land and sets up shop at the next newbie area she can find a reasonably priced spot at. Just keep at it, and you will find it. Don't always trust the land sales tab, it isnt reliable. At least not when it comes to first land. Explore the map, tp over, and you will find.

When searching for first land, never specify first land, just sort by price. I've noticed if I search for first land a get a few hits, but if I search without marking first land I get many hits.
Although I see none at the moment.
