Tier Payment
| Google Translation: | English | Deutsch | French | Italiano | 日本語 | Türkçe | 中文 | Nederlands | Portugués | Español |
In order for anyone to maintain their land in Second Life, everyone must make recurring payments to the service provider. Usually it's Linden Lab or another entity that manages an estate in Second Life -- such as The Wastelands.
We've built a few systems to make payments for your land in The Wastelands. Our systems are fantastically simple, just visit the following following location to find our tier panels and more.
The Black Tier Panel: Pay Individual Parcels
If you are a resident of the estate, or a "partner" on a property all you need to do is touch the tier payment panel and it will log you in. If you are not a resident or not listed as a "partner" the system will not log you in, and it'll let you know. Once logged in it will display a picture of your land and detailed information in your local chat. You're the only person who sees the info while logged in, and the only person who can operate the panel. The information displayed is pretty self explanatory:
Overview
- Property # over the number of parcels you own.
- The Parcel Name
- Who current the tenant is
- The max amount of time you can pay.
- Tier for each week.
- Prims, Area
- Parcel Due Date
- If your parcel is overdue or not.

Interface
Once logged in there are five buttons you can click, and an interaction timer in the lower left. This timer will refresh itself any time you touch or interact with the Tier Panel. The Arrow Buttons to the left and right of the parcel picture will scroll through the parcels you own, displaying each parcels information in local chat. The Help Button will give a link to this wiki article. The Pay Button will just tell you to right click the Tier Panel and select Pay. Whatever parcel is currently selected, is the parcel that will be paid. The Done Button will log you out.
Partners
A partner is a person who can also view land details and make payments to the parcel. Partners will receive the same exact overdue messages you would. They are a good backup for if you cannot be online for any reason, or an alt can also receive the same messages. They MUST consent to being a partner, they will be asked to confirm, so they must be there at the time of adding them.
To add a person as a partner, click the little two-person glyph in the lower right. Please see local chat to find the correct key to add as a partner. Copy and paste the correct key into the prompt box that pops up, and press submit. The partner will be prompted to agree to receiving notifications. Only after they agree, will they be added as a partner.
To remove a person that is a partner, just click the little two-person glyph and they will automatically be removed.
Vanity Images
As a tenant, you can select what parcel picture you'd like to use. For now just contact Management with a photo UUID and parcel coordinates. This will help you distinguish between your parcels if you own a few.
The Red Tier Panel: Pay All One Week
This tier panel will allow you to pay one week for all of your parcels across the estate. It automatically calculates what is due for the next week. All you need to do is click to log in and review the list of parcels it provides. Once successfully logged in, 'ANYONE' can right click and make a payment for all the parcels listed, even your friends. Some things should be noted though:
- It does not count account for parcel partners. It only accounts for the land you currently own.
- It doesn't send emails or IMs for a successful payment, but it still logs everything in the database(s).
- It will only list available parcels where an additional week of tier would not go over the tier maximum, which is currently 3 months.
- There's plenty of extra internal logging and notifications, but only if things go wrong.
The Brown Tier Panel: Pay All Four Weeks
This is just like the Red Tier Panel, but pays for four weeks instead of one.
