Land Office
LEIGH&CO operates a Land Office in New Eden City, as well as satellite offices located throughout the web worlds, which sells property licenses to the public.
A benefit to land holders is that Colonists other than the named owner and any designated representatives will be prevented from placing and destroying blocks, as well as from operating items including chests.
The Land Office automated services facility may be contacted any time of day or night using a LeighBoy by entering the "/lc land" command.
As of Y2S3 NESC, the current price to purchase previously unclaimed land was M0.19/sq^m.
Protections
When land is owned, it automatically has certain protections. Only theowner (or their assigned representitives) can build or destroy blocks, or use and interact with chests, doors, buttons, and other machines.
An exception to this is blackstone buttons & pressure plates, which can always be interact with by any player regardless of the lot protections.
Notable Events
Purchasing Land
To purchase a property, physically travel to the land you wish to buy.
Decide how large you want the parcel to be, in meters. All lots are square, so a 32 block lot will be 32x32, a 128 block lot will be 128x128, etc.
Enter the "/lc land buy" command with the size of the lot you wish to acquire. For example, "/lc land buy 32" to buy a 32x32 lot.
The command will provide the coordinates for the parcel. Verify using Dynmap or other means that the coordinates line up with your expectations for the lot. If you are ready to buy, re-enter the command with the "confirm" option, such as "/lc land buy 32 confirm".
Land Expiration
Previously sold plots are eligible to be reclaimed and/or sold at auction after 90 days of account inactivity by the owner.
