Looking for a wide-open space to set up your virtual home or business? Check out the FrontierZones located on the Tiki Islands. FrontierZones are like FunZones, but on a smaller scale. The shape of a FrontierZone is round and defined by boulders along the perimeter.  FrontierZones have Zone Permissions, Event Hosting Privileges, Ignore Capabilities, and Weather and Environment settings.

FrontierZones have an associated Real Estate Deed. Upon purchase or transfer of a deed the FrontierZone is automatically transferred to your My Things menu located on your toolbar. The deed shows ownership of the Zone. The Zone owner can Auction, Give, Trade and Configure the Zone. Monthly rent is charged to the deed holder every 30-days. To rent a FrontierZone, you need to acquire the property’s Real Estate Deed. There are a few different ways to do this: Rent a property through the housing listings on the Places Search page. Rent a property through the Auction listings. You can acquire a deed through a Give or Trade transaction with another member. Rental periods are NOT reset when FrontierZone deeds are transferred between members. Depending on when the rent was last paid, you could have up to 30 days before the next rental cycle begins. You can acquire a deed through a Give or Trade transaction with another member. The 30-day rental fee does not reset on Zones transferred between members. You will need to have enough tbucks to cover the cost of the deed as well as the first rental period. When the deed is transferred to another member there is a remaining number of days on the 30-day rental cycle. At the time of transfer there could be 1 – 29 days left of remaining rent.

Now for the fun part! Now that you’ve gone through the process of purchasing and setting up your FrontierZone, you can decorate the Zone with items from Shop Central and the Auctions. There are hundreds of items to choose from in Shop Central and Auctions. The possibilities are endless for a number of themes. A great place to start is the “Home and Garden” section. This section contains everything from custom designer homes to trees and plants to furniture. There FrontierZones have a drop count of 50 items. There keeps track of your drop count automatically. To check how many drops you have left at any given time, visit your Zone and go to your Menu Bar > This Place > Gear. The amount of remaining drops will be displayed in the Gear menu. There’s Zone decorating tools let you find just the right place to place your items. The Take One Out command allows you to view the item and move it around to get a good idea of what it will look like in the space before you actually place or “drop” the item. To Take One Out in your FrontierZone go to your Menu Bar and click: This Place > Gear > Sub-Category > (Item Name) > Take One Out When you have positioned your item just where you want it, you can “drop” in place by moving your mouse cursor over the decorating tag and click Place Here. It might take a few tries to find the right location for you item. Try dropping the item and then stand back to look at it to see if you like its position. Sometimes due to a FrontierZone’s terrain, the object you are trying drop (for example a house) may include the terrain inside. In order to “remove” the terrain from inside of your house, you will need to raise the house above the terrain. If you have already dropped the item and need to change the position you must Pick Up the item to make necessary changes. Go to your tool bar and click: This Place > Gear > Structures > (Item Name) > Pick Up Once the item has been picked up you can raise and lower the item with the (+) and (-) key on your desktop’s numerical keypad.

When you’ve got the item exactly where you want it, click Place Here. You can Put Away an item after you have dropped it and replace it into your inventory. Go to your Menu Bar and click: This Place > Gear > Structures > (Item) > Pick Up > Put Away Repeat the easy drop process for all items you would like to include in your FrontierZone.
