Linden Lab Official:What's the difference between Estates and Private Regions?

An Estate is a term for a group of one or more Private Regions that belong to one Resident.
- Each square on the map is a Region.
- A Resident can own many Estates, each with at least one Region in them.
- An Estate can never have less than one Region.
- Regions owned by different Residents cannot be in the same Estate.
Regions in the same Estate share certain common settings, including but not limited to:
- Ban lists
- Sun settings
- Estate managers
There are a few other differences:
- We currently don't charge to change Estate names, but there's a $50 charge to change Region names.
- Residents can request transfer of ownership of Regions, but not entire Estates. If a Resident wants to transfer ownership of an Estate that comprises only a single Region, that can probably be done.
