Due to continued problems with PayPal, Second Island will be discontinuing using PayPal as a method of payment in paying your tier. There have been many uncleared payments as well as other technical issues involving PayPal.
In order to make it as easy and seamless as possible for the residents and staff of Second Island, tier boxes will be the only method of payment for tier on your Second Island land. Please see the previous blog about the new tier boxes for more information regarding this new system. To sum it up in a short sentence, all you will have to do is purchase L$ through LindeX and pay this box that will be placed on your land twice or once a month.
We know one of the biggest concerns for changing over to this system is the “increase” you pay from paying PayPal to buying L$. Well, just as a helpful hint, the more L$ you buy, the smaller the surcharges become for using LindeX. So we suggest that you buy a month’s worth of tier and hold it in your account until it is time to make your next payment. This will help you avoid some of the surcharges that come with using LindeX.
Currently the only residents paying with PayPal are in the following islands: Navi, Epona, Zora and Saria. If you live on these islands, your tier is L$2 per square meter per month. This should provide you with some assistance in calculating your new tier cost.
Again, Second Island thanks you for your cooperation. If you have any specific questions, please contact Kaio Obviate, Cezar Boram or Megz Ling for more assistance.

Hello residents of Second Island!
This blog entry does NOT pertain to you if you live on any of the Lakeview Islands.
Second Island is currently working on a new in-world tier payment system. Much like the current tier machines on your parcel, you will still be able to walk outside of your door and pay your tier. The only difference with these new boxes is that unlike your current tier machine, you can only make payments on a weekly basis. Currently, these tier boxes are set to the minimum payment being 2 weeks and maximum 8, so you would be able to pay your new tier box twice per month, once, etc. The change over will happen this week (January 27th- February 2nd) and the new tier machine will be a one prim box.
If you live in Epona, Navi, Ocarina Beach, Saria and Zora, you had 64 square meters cut from your parcel when the Second Island team placed the original tier machines on your land. With the new low prim machine, Second Island will be able to return 48 square meters of that land to your parcel, leaving the remaining 16 square meters for the tier machine. When your land is ready to be rejoined, we will inform you so you can buy it back for L$0.
Also, with the new tier boxes, your MAXIMUM “overdue” time is three (3) days. You will receive messages from the tier box if your tier is overdue. If you do not pay your tier within this time frame and we have no reponse from you letting us know what is happening, your land will be reclaimed by Second Island. If you decide to sell your land, please contact any of our admins immediately so we can switch the tier box to the new land owner’s name (this must be done manually by a Second Island Administrator).
We thank you for your cooperation and as always, we will keep you updated with any and all changes happening with Second Island. If you have any specific questions, please direct them to us in world or, for a faster reponse, go on our support by ticket system.
