New Land that was for sale

This morning I logged in, and did what I normally do, started searching for first land availability. I saw 10x 512m2 plots for sale, listed as first land, in about 5 or 6 different regions. I could not teleport to any of them.. they all said invalid location when trying to teleport. On the map, when I clicked show on map in the search window, they came up "Invalid Location" with a blue circle. I kept trying to telelport / find these plots and the same thing happened for about 45 minutes.

The next thing I tried was teleporting to another region, just to make sure it wasn't the region I was in preventing me from teleporting and I got out fine. When I arrived at my new location, I did another search... the first land plots didn't show up this time. And I still could not get the regions they were in to show up via a search using the map. So I teleported back to my HOME spot where I originally started all this. And the first land plots showed up again, but I still could not teleport to them.

Eventually, after about 30 more minutes, the list went blank. I never ever saw the regions except as "Invalid Locations" and an hour later, I still see the regions listed as "Invalid Locations" doing a map search. The first land that I saw for sale still isn't in the list.

Can someone explain what was happening? Two of the region names I saw First Land for sale in were Appalachia, and Coda.

I can't tell you exactly what was happening, but it appears to be a LL glitch. The same thing was happening once when I was looking for first land but I only had to struggle for five minutes or so before I messaged live help. I was told it was a mistake and that real First Land would be posted soon. In a few minutes the whole list changed and I was able to get my little plot. It did make for some frustration.

EDIT: Those region names ring a bell, too. I think they were the same phantom ones I was struggling with. They showed up as being to the east but impossible to get to.

EDIT AGAIN: And what REALLY bugged me was that they had pictures and they looked pretty nice!! :p

Its possible that LL is getting ready to put some new land in to the world and the preparations are causing odd behavior. I would keep a close eye out for First Land just incase.
