Mainland V Private land

So Whats the difference between private land and mainland?


There are two main types of mainland, with three classifications  PG,Mature,Adult or General, Moderate and Adult if you are  in Viewer 2 ( why its different names in different viewers is beyond me)

Mainland is 99% Full region the the same type as we have been taking about in the last post.

There is some protected land and some high prim land but that few and far between.

Protected land is normally owned by Governor Linden and no one can build on it, there are some exceptions to this but they are hard to find.

Buying Mainland is a commitment, the only way back once you have bought it is to : Abandon it to G Linden , sell it, or some other ways we wont discuss here in this post

You can buy in the land auctions, or buy from the land itself, land can find its own price and it ranges from .4L$ a sqm to.. almost any number, if you see land at 6L$ or above.. its probably never going to pay you back if you ever sell it.

I have seen some mainland today as i type at 30L$ SQM.. madness in my book

You pay land fees direct to Linden labs once you have paid for the land and the current prices are in every ones dashboard.

Most mainland isnt good to be shaped and terraformed, normally its a few meters up and down. thats all, not like private land which has much more latitude for shape and design.

It is cheaper then private land in land fees currently  an entire sim is $195 a month in fees, but you never have estate management  rights and you cant restart it yourself.
and owning an entire sim.. is rare.

Make your own mind about what you want and what you want land for.. and how you want to play the land game.. next about land.. Beware of Landbots
