I want to add to a great summary question posted by recently Keith Ozsvar. We are desperate for an 'official' statement on first land. I have to say that I understand how difficult the recent exponential growth must be. Adding more real-estate would obviously further tax an already stressed system. My first and only AV is about 3 weeks old and I, too, am frustrated with continually searching for first land. The frustration comes primarily, however, from the First Land policy that stops me from purchasing any other land without forfeiting my first land rights. Might I suggest that you find a way to allow us newbies to keep our first land rights until we get an opportunity to buy first land - regardless of whether or not we purchase other property? Would this be doable? I'm afraid I'm addicted to SL already so I know I want to buy more than a 512 parcel - but I'm STUCK until first land becomes available.
Thanks for your consideration.
