After being drawn into playing Upland, which was easy enough considering I'm a huge fan of Simcity, the notion of purchasing virtual properties was easy enough to grasp. But why would you buy any of those properties? For status?

Each piece of property on Upland has a price (what you pay for it), and a monthly income (what you earn holding the plot). The earnings are an interesting bit, since now you have to start calculating value for money invested. For example, which one is a better buy? Buying a plot (A) valued at 99,999,999upx with a monthly earning of 14.11upx, or buying a plot (B) valued at 5850upx with a monthly income of 12.1upx?

In this instance, we have to work with an Earnings : Price ratio, lets call it the E2P Ratio,  Plot A has an E2P of 0.0000001411 while plot B has an E2P of 0.002, clearly on that scale, plot B is 14,669 times more of a better buy than plot A. While doing this math, it is also worth noting that in-game 'Collections' also boost the earnings and thus may contribute significantly to the E2P of a plot.

So yeah, earnings are powerful, and am still trying to ferret out higher E2P plots to purchase. The best I have so far has an E2P of 0.012.

Does anyone playing Upland have a plot with a E2P greater than 0.02? Please comment below.
