I realised with using Buy pass that some club memberships could be so much easier if it were possible to purchase a pass to access land for longer periods, say 30 days, unless people want longer. 24 Hours is possibly a bit short, by allowing landowners to use buy pass , they can save members from having to join groups to access land.
Sound worth voting for if I put a JIRA in for it?

I believe it's possible to do this using a script as you can have it renew the pass automatically every 24 hours for however long you want.

However I do agree that it would be simpler if we could do this in land-options, and doesn't really require much of a change since all the other limits (you can only have so many people on the allowed list at once) will remain the same.
I'd say yes to the JIRA issue as I'd vote on it as it would be useful.

Just remember, Buy Pass is only useful if your venue is planted firmly on the ground, since it only limits access to the area 50 M above the terrain surface.

Other than that, yes, being able to specify a longer access period could have its uses. Like being able to buy a one-week pass to an amusement park.

Thanks Ceera, I had forgotten that which can be a whole seperate issue if you wanted to use it for a skybox, I'm possibly thinking it might work otherwise for some ground based clubs like a cover charge or months membership thing.
