To clarify, the land calculation is not taking into account the base 512 that premium accounts get on top of the tier level they're at. So Mercia, who is at the $195 USD tier level, should be able to get 65536 + 512 = 66048 worth of land, but is being incorrectly told that 65732 sqm would put her up to the next tier level.
This error can cause people to waste a fair amount of money, so this is a showstopper bug. Thanks for that addition Lex, although this issue relates to a part of the website that re-calculates the land use fees for those considering changing their land holdings and group land contributions. In that sense it will not cost anyone anything, other than LL, because it will always paint the financial picture worse than it actually is. I.e., those on 195US tier will be told that they have no further ability to buy land without going above 195, even though they do.
Mercia I have now run a trial of the Land Use Fees Calculator and this error only occurs at the 195US level. This suggests that the Premium Land Bonus is included in the formula, but that the formula has a limit set of 65536m2.
Repo Enter Result: Tier 125US Available square meters 512 Enter Result: Tier 125US Available square meters 511 NB, all lower levels also recalculate correctly, but not 195US Enter Result: Tier 195US Available square meters 512 Enter Result: The proposed tier goes over $195US/month This is not a problem specific to Donated Land, exactly the same error occurs if the figures are reserved, e.g., Enter Result: Tier 195US Available square meters 512 Enter Result: The proposed tier goes over $195US/month Mercia Downgraded to critical because the website recalculation while giving incorrect financial advice, will not change tier level. The Showstopper is the related in-world bug.
The following line appears in the page source for the Land Use Fees page.
if (commitment > 65536) It should be: if (commitment > 66048) Mercia Reduced to Normal, as the priority needs to go to the related in-world bug, SVG-547
Mercia Kyle Linden clarified some of this for me, Mercia – I'm importing this so Concierge and our Web Developers can have a closer look.
Just a note to Concierge not to forget about the related issue SVG-547, it is the more serious one and it was not a case of me misunderstanding Group Land. My misunderstanding of Group occurred when I was trying to figure out what was wrong AFTER I had reproduced the error in-world. I will explain over on SVG-547 how I did that in-world repo, I will place in the Description to save you scrolling down through the posts.
Mercia PS thanks for your work so far on this. This has been silently fixed, i.e., the Concierge promise that when fixed it would be noted by the web-master in JIRA did not happen. maybe it was fixed when the VAT notice was added, I know not.
Jose Linden (who doesn't have a Issue Tracker login, yet...) is working on this and I've re-opened it because it's technically still in-progress. While this is fixed for most people, he notes:
"... But from what I understand this does not take care of people without the free 512 (like lifetimes). So I will need to do a dynamic lookup up of some of these values." Sorry for not updating you earlier; I wish updating our internal system also updated the public Issue Tracker to sync, but it doesn't. Thank you for the update Torley, and please remember there is an in-world issue as well currently Resolved by you as Won't Finish, SVC-547.
As I have informed Concierge, I no longer have sufficient Mainland holdings to test the in-world bug, but told them I would not alter SVC-547 until they got back to me about Quality Assurance (or whoever) doing a repo. You're welcome, Mercia. I haven't forgotten – and the new Issue Tracker watch feature is definitely coming in handy!
Kyle mentioned talking to you re: SVC-547 and I recommended he ping Quality Assurance to verify it. The related in-world bug appears to have been fixed for those of us with a 512m2 bonus. See SVC-547 (which I have re-opened).
If this has still not been fixed for life accounts why not just give them the same free 512m2 as premium members?
