Volume land Pricing - Additional savings
Additional savings can be had for purchasing a minimum of 10 or more Elite Regions (listed above) at a single time as one volume land order. Volume region pricing per the schedule detailed below applies only to full regions (40,000 prims) and is not offered for other types of regions.
•10 - 25 Regions - $60 USD each / month
•26 - 50 Regions - $55 USD each / month
•51 - 75 Regions - $50 USD each / month
•76 - 100 Regions - $45 USD each / month
It is important to note that the rates above do not apply to total land holdings, but instead Volume land pricing applies only to regions purchased together as a single "volume" order. For example; if on Monday you purchase 30 regions you will get the regions at the $55 USD each / month rate then if you purchase 13 additional regions on Wednesday, you will get the 13 regions at the $60 USD each / month rate.

Each land block is billed at a different rate because they were purchased in two separate transactions at different rates. Each land block will maintain the volume rate (grandfathered pricing) as long as you retain ownership of the minimum number required to qualify for the volume rate. You may make multiple "volume" land orders.
Discounts for Volume Land Pricing require special arrangements be made. Thus, Volume region purchases are not made via the web site.

Q. Is owning land in Island Oasis like other virtual worlds?
A. Yes, and no. We certainly can't speak for other Virtual worlds, but once you purchase land it is yours to do with as you please within the VIRTUAL LAND USAGE GUIDELINES listed above. One fundamental difference of land ownership in Island Oasis is its ease of use for a sim owner restarting their sim with any means they can connect to the internet. There is no restarting your region from the viewer, you restart your region(s) from the website, which means you don't even have to open a viewer and be logged into the grid to restart your region(s).
