| <p>OK so you wanna own some land? Well here is how you get started. <br>
| | #REDIRECT [[First Land]] |
| <br>
| |
| First, understand that if you want to own land, you will have to upgrade to what | |
| is called a Premium account. That means you need to sign in to secondlife.com
| |
| log into your account and sign up there.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Keep in mind: you do NOT need to own land in order to have a great experience
| |
| here in Second Life. I suggest you stay on your basic account until you've
| |
| gotten to know more about SL.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| But if you are hell bent on doing the land thing please keep reading:<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| You might not want to jump in with both feet, ie sign up for a whole year, but I
| |
| suggest getting on any of the other plans besides the one where you pay $9.95USD
| |
| per month. <br>
| |
| The other plans give you a discount on the yearly price. Do the math:<br>
| |
| Example: $9.95 x 12(months) = $119.40 for the year <br>
| |
| if you pay for the year outright its only $72.00 for the year<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| I believe there are quarterly and other plans available that have discounts too.<br>
| |
| Explore the options in the My Account area of the SL website and pick the one
| |
| that works for you.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| After you have signed up for a Premium account you will recieve 500L into your
| |
| inworld account. Sometimes it happens right away, but more likely you will
| |
| recieve on the next payday (every Tuesday). You will now also be getting an
| |
| increased weekly stipend.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| OK here is how you scout out and purchase your first plot of land, after you've
| |
| recieved your 500L.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Click Find button from your lower toolbar and then choose the Land Sales tab.<br>
| |
| at the top left of that tab there is a dropdown menu (the first word on that is
| |
| All)<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Select First Land from the dropdown menu then click to make a check mark in the
| |
| box labled Area. <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Next, type in 512 in the field to the right of that labled sq.m<br>
| |
| Ignore the price square and leave it empty then click Search<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| A list of all the First Land available should appear on the main part of the
| |
| Land Sales tab on the right hand side.<br>
| |
| Click on the first one and choose teleport. Follow the red beacon and arrow to
| |
| your destination.<br>
| |
| Check out the land, check the location and see if you like it.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Then do the same for ALL the listings, so you can get an idea of what's out
| |
| there and can make a choice from a selection of locations.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| If you want to own land specifically in PG or Mature sims, please check the top
| |
| toolbar when you get to each location, and it will tell you next to the name of
| |
| the sim whether its PG or Mature.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| You can also check that before hand by using your map. Resting your mouse over a
| |
| sim on the map will tell you if its PG or Mature, and you can adjust your search
| |
| accordingly.<br>
| |
| ***NOTE: sometimes there isnt always First Land available. Be patient and try
| |
| again in a few hours or the next day.</p>
