Island prim limits

I had to deed one parcel of my island to another group, for access reasons (both groups are run by me, one for employees and one for customers). As soon as I reclaimed the parcel, I had lots of things returned to me because it was supposed to be full, although the sim has 4k prims left.

How can I avoid that? I want both groups (i.e. me) to be able to extend the parcel prim limits as long as the sim has prims left.

I'm also a bit worried about the order of item returns, in case the parcel runs out of prims again. What if a member of the customer group uses the new parcel as a sandbox? Their prims are group prims (if they have the group title active or set the objects to the right group). Will their prims get returned or mine? I'm pretty sure that parts of the wall that were returned to me were older than all the furniture which mostly stayed in place.

A group will only get the total of the prims available to the parcels that is deeded to that group.

Example:

You have a sim and divide it in 2, Group Alpha gets 1/2 the sim and Group Beta gets 1/2. Each group will have 7500 prims available to its members to use. If Group Alpha goes over its 7500, it can't 'borrow' from Group Beta. There is no way currently for two groups each with deeded land on a sim to 'share' prims.

I would suggest using one group, and seperating the 'employees' and 'customers' using roles.

As far as prim returns go, I have never gotten my head around that and it seems to have a mind of its own anyway.

Why accessorize when you can Xessorize?

Since you're on a private sim, you could just set the region bonus factor higher than 1.0 which would make every parcel think it has more prims than it should, but the 15,000 used for the entire sim is always the upper limit.

[Edited to add that it depends on the size of the smaller parcel. 10.0 is the highest - I think - which would still limit a for instance 512m² separately owned parcel to 1170 prims]

I was thinking about the object bonus, never played with it though. SO theoretically you could split a sim into say, 4 parcels, give each parcel a 4x object bonus so each parcel has 15000 prim to use and everyone is happy, until you hit the sim prim limit?

EDIT: Looked at my sim seetings, it a REGION setting, so you would have to set it across the entire sim, but this totally looks like the answer to your dilema.
