Some land came up during last night and I managed to buy some. Yippee! Its availibility was very patchy and it went very quickly. Each piece I looked at had hoards of potential buyers and you had to be very quick. We buzzed around like swarms of bees! I only got mine becuause I discovered the landmark was misplaced and the for sale land was a few metres away and could only be IDed by the photo. It pleased me a lot twhen I puzzled that on out! Was this an intentional ploy by Govn Linden to sort the women from the girls?
The presence of 'First Land' for sale by companies such as Quest is downright misleading. I wonder how many newbies got caught by that one? This is covenanted land at a high price but advertised as first land! I am surprised the search facility picks it up as proper first land and I really do urge LL to do something about this.
In a similar vein, the first land search picks up land that is actually for rent, also often by Quest. This brings me on to the search setup. I can't believe that the search facility is so bad. When will search be properly running on all tabs again? I hope you are improving it so that you can search for 'skating rink' and get all those places that have it in their name. Just now you have to know what the place is called to find it - a totally useless load of nonsense!

Hihi Neide! Wow good thing you got in fast.
Our Land Guru, Guy Linden, will hopefully be writing on the Official Linden Blog about the First Land situation. We're bringing it up in batches still, but... it's going like hotcakes! There are also times when someone buys First Land and prices it higher and doesn't rename it, sometimes not intentionally to target the inexperienced, but it IS a concern for the reasons you mentioned. Guy and the Land Team are discussing better ways to handle it. I don't have an update on Search yet, I want it back, BADLY, myself!!! My latest update: http://blog.secondlife.com/2006/12/05/second-life-113010-required-update-now-up/ I'm bouncing back and forth between sites, just know I'm around.  P.S. Guv pulls no ploys. _____________________
