how about 10,000 l dollars for a 96 squre meter property now is that dumb being as they only give you 5000 yep second life is for the rich the poor cant even try out the preview no where to rez things no property to buy
do not beileve what they say about public land avaiable on the priview 1.7 there is none that the average resident with 5000 bucks that they give you can afford none that i can see flying over the three sims where there is suppose to be property.

You are incorrect. As attached screenshot clearly shows, I was able to select a 512 plot of public land for sale at the price of L$1024. The second screenshot still shows quite a bit of land still available in Georgean. From flying around I saw nearly as much in Fortuna.

Your history of forum posts makes it somewhat hard to take anything you say seriously.

I just found myself a nice plot of land, for L$1 per m2. It took a little while to find it, but it wasnt a problem. I only took 256m2, more than enough for an experiment or two.

I don't understand the issue here. Isn't the Preview money 'fake'? And everyone gets exactly the same amount - L$5k?

How can there be rich or poor when everyone has exactly the same amount of fake money?

And when the preview is over, you do realize all that money goes poof, right?

/confused :eek:

Travis, that's almost the exact same thing I posted in the LAST thread this person started about the EXACT same topic. Guess she just failed to read the replies in the thread she started.

From: someone
And since everyone is given $5,000....How can there be a class distinction between rich and dirt poor? Everyone is either rich or everyone is either dirt poor...right?

In Preview grid, we start fresh... it feels so freeing that way, always good to do research and find out what's going on, and I'm glad I have L$5000 for "testing purposes". I plan to "test" a lot. Mu ha ha ha.

I bought a little plot 96 m ? I think I put out one Linden Atoll foot bridge and used up all my prims :(

So much for testing my 1000 prim necklace - off to a sandbox I guess :p

I found an area that was divided into 16m2 plots for $32L each ($2L per sq m). I bought a little over 1000 sq m worth.

Someone is pulling someone's leg, and I'm not sure which direction the pulling is coming from.

All the preview money was fake, nothing will be transfered back to the main grid at the end, and its not really land for building houses on, as in the title of what were doing its test land, all and i mean all the land in the three sims fame, fortuna and georgean, were originally set as public land, thats 32$ for 16sqm, there is still land in those three sims available, also some land was free'd up in ahern and rizal i believe and also set as public land.

At the start of the test i saw one parcel in morris or ahern prices above what a user would have so im guessing this was for a linden, but im guessing someone has come in with an alt or asked a friend for money and got over their 5000L$

Then if you cant find land or you want to play building with lots of prims and not for testing then there are two of the usual sandboxes, and also the one in morris.

For testing purposes the max you will need is 1250m2 to do the 257linked prims dont work test. and even then that can be done in a sandbox.

Unfortuently its a weekend too so the lindens are offline and the preview doesnt have a grid monkey to bring the sims back up that have crashed and they will crash well because i crashed 3, but thats another bug found.

As far as your post here goes well anybody can set their public land sale to sell, just takes one person to buy it when there is all that 32$ land out there

As far as your hotline post of calling philip a thief well the system probably has either a limit or is tied to a memory of your tier, and well you were trying to buy land in your third sim, you gotta give other people a chance to buy some.

A tip is click view and land owners, in the three sims any land that is the normal terrain texture is public and forsale, red is owned, and orange is forsale by a private party
