Protected Land FAQ

This article answers some frequently asked questions about Protected land.

What's the deal with Protected land?

Land that is owned by Governor Linden and named "Protected Land" will not generally be sold to Residents or terraformed. Reasons for making land Protected vary, but a common one is that land can be Protected in order to hold pathways, canals, or flight paths open.

Can I build on Protected land?

You can try, but do so with the understanding that whatever you've built on it, if you can build there at all, may be removed if we notice it (or if someone complains about it). Protected land is called that for a reason.

What about the sky above Protected land? Can I build there?

Again, you can try, but the sky above Protected land is still above Protected land. If you build something, know that you are building in a place where your creation may not last very long. The best advice we can give: Find somewhere else to build.

How is Empty land different?

"Empty" land is land that was created, but never set up, or land whose setup somehow skipped a step. If you're interested in purchasing Empty land, submit a support ticket with the parcel's location and your inquiry.
