I've already owned land?

Hi, I have a question. I just upgraded from a basic account to a premium account yesterday. I went to buy my first piece of land today. It was First Land, and when I tried to buy it I received a msg that I was ineligible because I had owned land before. I belong to a group that has bought and owns land, but I never purchased any of the land myself and I was trying to purchase the First Land with my own tier, not with group tier. Why won't it let me buy First Land? Thank you.

Hiya Liv--you've donated group land before, yes. And that counts as having owned land because group land is the shared property of a group. (It should have given you a warning before you donated, too.) So that's why you're ineligible for First Land.
