Soon™ This weeks' Web Group meeting, the Lindens said it is now in the home-run stretch (my words) - they are now rolling our the Simulator software that contains the name0change feature in it, so the next region updates will make the grid ready for it. This is often one of the last few steps of implementing a feature. Though they certainly will continue to test it. A lot. But it is coming and a lot sooner than later.

Asadora Summers Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 In regards to the last names - someone told me that it's only for premium members and a charge of $50USD .... did I miss something?

I'm happy with my name, but wanted to change my land alt's name who is premium, though I think $40USD is a bit much to do so. I'd rather spend that money on either buying lindens or buying a RL pair of shoes. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a really really awesome last name gets released I won't be changing it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArgontheDevil Ormega Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I'm waiting for the rollout and the massive grid failure which will cause the rollback. You know, just like every major change that comes from the lab. It's one of those things that makes SL fun and keeps us from getting bored. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amras Martynov Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I've yet to see any solid sources on 40USD being the actual figure per name change*. From what I've seen in my various lurkings, it's all been rumour and prognostication so far. But if it's true, LL has gotta be taking the piff if they think 40USD is a "nominal fee." I mean maybe in 80 years from now, sure. As for Soon™, some of us have been around long enough to know LL operates on a similar timetable to that of Valve. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *Yes I know it also requires Premium as we've seen more than a few official LL posts declaring it.

Parhelion Palou Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 The LSL functions needed for people to connect someone's new name to their old name, etc. are rolling out to the main channel this week. It's getting closer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closer, but still time to ready the cigar-trimmer: Quote [2020/02/18 12:04] Qie Niangao: So all is ready for name changes? or there's more of that to come?[2020/02/18 12:05] Rider Linden: There is still some plumbing going on deep inside some of the back end, but it is close Qie. (from yesterday's Server User Group) I should have asked if the remaining plumbing is known to entail more sim code changes. I kinda assumed that wouldn't be necessary, but no real evidence either way about that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
