Last time I checked, village was still mine, I have ls there. Dis and Ainran claimed this grid as a peacefull piece of hearthlands, not as their own land, so what is the problem? Thread where Freya explains about peacefull SG sounds like a spur for new settlers and I give them the opportunity for having their own place with a good start.
It is good place to live, cus most griefers avoid this SG, still those brave one won't do anything cus of brickwall. If you want to have a satelite with quite good well, or medium ql water spot, you can have it! Or maybe an easy access to Apples for Oranges (I think even 10 agi is enough to jump from my village)?
I don't see a problem in paying in installments, but till the village won't be repaid I will keep the ls account.
