When you live in an apartment in SL or on someone else’s land, your things can get returned to you by the owner or other officer.

This article explains how to find the things that were returned to you.

When things get returned to you, they go into your Inventory’s Lost and Found folder. SL groups your things together and changes the names of your things, making it harder for you to find them. When SL groups things, it is called coalescing. The following explains coalescing and how to find your things…..

Missing Inventory: Coalesce Feature

The Coalesce feature activates when a group of objects get returned at the same time. Before a group of objects are returned, they are stuffed into a one or more objects, then returned to your inventroy.

How to find missing

1. Click the Inventory button.
2. Inside of the Inventory window, select “Sort” and then select “By Name”
3. Now select “Sort” and then select “By Date” (This makes sure the inventory is sorted by date).
4. Locate and open your Lost And Found folder.
5. Take the first object in your Lost And Found folder, drag it out. A public sandbox may be a good place to do this.
6. From top to bottom, work through the list of objects located in the Lost And Found folder until the missing objects are found.

It’s possible that your things could rez above or below you. This is important when you are in an apartment or some other place that is inside. It is best to do this when you are someplace on the ground. Float up a little so that you can see if your things rez above the ground.

The rest of this notecard gives you an example about how the features works - it’s not necessary to read this to find your things…

A resident is renting land from a landlord and has the following objects on their rented land:

* House
* Kitchen sink
* Table
* Chair
* Object

Later this Resident decides to move and ask their Landlord to return all objects owned by them. The Landlord complies and returns all objects to the Resident.

The Resident checks their inventory and the objects are missing! Or are they?

When these objects were returned, they were stuffed into one or more objects, then placed back into the Resident’s inventory.

These coalesced objects will inherit the name of one of the objects that they contain. In this case the object could be named house, kitchen sink, chair, fork or object.

Land Tier Fees can really add up -Save up to 46% by renting tier from me!

So, what is tier rental anyway?

Tier Rental provides a far less expensive way to own mainland. Tier is like a tax you pay each month for owning land. LL charges you tier for owning land - I offer a cheaper alternative to paying full-price tier - it is completely safe and you maintain ownership of your land at all times. NOTE: Tier rental applies to Mainland only - this will not work if you own land on a Private Estate.

The bottom line is substantial savings for you!

The key advantages of leasing tier from me, versus paying LL are:

• Rent exactly the amount of tier you need - There are big gaps in LL’s tier scale. If you own 1024m and want to add another 512m, you need to go to the 2048m tier level with LL. You can rent exactly 1,024 tier from me - so no wasted tier!
• Flexible - Add or Remove Tier at anytime!We change with your needs, so you can add and remove tier any time. We’ll make sure that you get maximum value for your L$ - you never have unused tier or rental time on your account with us!
• Rent week-to-week, cancel at any time - LL charges you for tier monthly and from the moment you acquire land. You can rent week-to-week with me and cancel at any time. You can even get a refund (conditions apply) for any tier you already paid for. Try getting a reund from LL!
• Pay in-world and in L$ - We manage tier using rental boxes - pay the rental box using L$. No hassles! The rental box sends you IMs starting 3 days before your tier expires, to remind you to extned your lease. Nothing could be easier!
• Hundreds of satisifed customers - I have been in business in SL since January 2006. I have hundreds of satisfied past and current customers, a number of which have been renting tier from me for a long time. My customers tell me that I am trustworthy and fair. I know you have choices in SL and appreciate your business by providing fast, courteous service.

Renting Tier

1. Contact me in-world or by email (2fast4u.nabob [at] gmail [dot] com) to find out if tier is availalbe.
2. When you have confirmation from me that tier is availalbe, create a group.
3. Add a new role to the group - the new role should not have any abilities.
4. Invite me to the group, in the new role. This ensures that I cannot even rez anything on your land (it also ensures that you have complete control of your land and can remove me from your group at any time).
5. Pay tier rental to the rental box at the landmark that I give to you.
6. Buy land using  “Buy for Group”, or deed your existing land to the group you created in step 2.

Pricing

Tier costs L$0.25 per meter, per week.

Or, per month, tier is L$1 per meter per month - this is an example since months vary in length.

You pay a rental box that I setup for us to manage the tier lease. Once you have made your first payment, I’ll donate the tier to your group so that you can use it for your land.

Twenty new condos are available at Sky Mark Condos in Cristat! The new condos are priced at L$70 and L$149/week.

The condos are located over waterfront property. They have the same layouts as the popular Sky Mark Three and Sky Mark Five condos.

Unfortunately, it looks like a combination of SL stability issues and a slowing in-world economy are leaving most of the new condos empty, so this is a great opportunity to get a great deal (I am offerince 40% more time on new leases!).

The four OpenSpace regions around Digital Nirvana are now one new region called Sky Mark North.

I converted the four OpenSpace regions into one region for one reason: tier. I bought the regions in an effort to introduce a unique living experience - lots of space and privacy. Residents could have had an 8,192m space instead of squeezing everything onto a 1024m plot. The benefit of more space is privacy since you could place your house in the middle of the plot, and surround it by a forest.

Thnigs did not go as planned only some used the space. Most people seem to be more interested in having more prims than space.

The new estate has a new theme - which encompasses Digital Nirvana too. The theme is a waterfront community centered around shops and other semi-urban structures. So far I have leased eight plots - which cover about 1/3 of the island’s tier…a good start!
