Regarding two plots of land

(reposted in this forum, realizing that LL may not scan the Land and Econ forums as often)

LL-

Good morning!

I have asked on at least two other occasions, as have my partners in SL, about two specific plots of land. These were abandoned back in November and defaulted to Governor Linden as the owner. Since then, nothing has been done with them. Not even the name or description of the parcel has been changed. (In fact, one of the names still says FOR SALE). One of these parcels is surrounded on three sides by my group's land and on the fourth side by a sim border. In other words, it is an island. The other parcel is surrounded on 3 sides by my neighbors (whos land we plan to purchase in the next few weeks) and on the fourth side by my group's. Once we acquire our neighbor's parcel, it will be an island in our land. They are both 1024m squares.

I understand that we cannot be given "first shot" at this land in the spirit of fairness to others. However, I have seen LL make first land out of some very *inconvenient* parcels and to do so to these two parcels would be simply ridiculous. That said, it is going on 5 months that this land has been abandoned and again, nothing has been done with it. I was told before to post this information to LL and here are a few links:

As you can see, neither gave a sufficient response and the answer to Kermitt's question was "we will get back to you", which is fine, provided LL does indeed get back to you.

I would like to know:
1-If there is any chance that this land will be turned into First Land. Because if that happens, then we may as well move because our land will ultimately look like swiss cheese and no one will ever buy the first land that is an island in a large shopping mall, I assure you.
2-What is the timeline to get a parcel (a very small parcel compared to the sims that are bought and sold daily) up on the auction block? 6 months seems to be an extraordinary amount of time for this.

I understand that in the big scheme of things that it is probably not worth LL's time to bother themselves with two small 1024m's, when they are setting up new sims and selling old ones in their entirety. This matter is, however, important to myself and my partners, and if it is important to us...it should be vital to LL, as we are your customers.

Thank you for your time and attention. I will post slurls to the parcels in question below.

Hello Jeanette. I do not know the status of these plots, but I will try to find out on Monday. I have been out to see them and have them landmarked.

To answer your specific questions; There is a slight chance they could become first land. But, in this case, with them being 1024m plots, it is more likely they will be set for auction.

I do not know the specific timeline for plots to be processed and set for auction, but six months is not the standard! Reworking abandoned land is currently a manual process and sometimes plots get left behind. We are aware that it is not the most efficient method for handling this and we are working to correct that.

I am sorry you have had to wait so long on this issue. I am going to do my best to make sure you do not have to ask again.
