They said over 2400 residents responded. Even if each person only submitted one name -- which we know they didn't -- it will still take many, many list rotations to get through that many names.

Cinos Field Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I mean, some of them are good! But I absolutely don't see anyone paying 40 for names like "Yeetly"... It might work in a system like the old one where it's free, since it is kinda funny. But not $40 funny. McAvatarface would've been that funny though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, only because I didn't have to when I joined. i am in two minds about it myself i will wait and see what there is and decide at the time what I really want to do is change my name from Mollymews Resident to Molly Mews but seems like is not going to be possible at this time, even if Mews is on the last name list. As Molly Mews resolves to the same name as Mollymews (Resident) from what I have read so far. As it seems we can't change to a name that is or has already been used it might be possible one day to do this, hopefully. Sooner rather than later hopefully, if not now. As there are I think quite a few people who would do this with their existing Resident names if they could in the meantime I think will be some people go with a last name from the list. Probably a few more I think when people buy the Premium Plus package which, from what Linden indicated the other day, seems to include a half-price discount over the Premium name change. About $20 instead of $40 for Premium Normal package it seems. Which in the context of any Plus package kinda fits. Like buy Premium Plus for some $X. Or pay $X plus $20 say. Depending on $X then it may be kinda worthwhile to that person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on $X then it may be kinda worthwhile to that person It was a pretty crap decision when Linden Lab took away last names. That should never have happened. At the time, it caused a fair few of the oldbies to look down their snouts at anyone with the surname of Resident, and even now, to some extent, people without a last name are treated like second class citizens. Second Life has disappointed me mostly because of how everyone started off as equals, and over time, it has turned out just like real life; with the same rat race going on. But people are people. And avatars have people running them. It will no doubt be interesting to see who takes up what last name and how the rest of the world reacts to them. Maybe Linden Lab will gold edge their profiles too, just to make them extra special. Yes. I am bitter about this - not as much as I am going to come across in this post - but really, as I said before, the decision to take away last names and turn everyone into (first name) Resident, was one of the worst ones ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qie Niangao Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Asadora Summers said: I can't remember as to the reason why last names were replaced with Resident names. Marketing. Or more precisely, clickstream analysis of the new resident sign-up process: Reportedly it showed that a huge number of the folks who started out making an account gave up when they had to select from a group of last names. (Of course there are other plausible explanations for that result.) Maybe they had more data too, like from focus groups or something, that showed it would be just fine to give users the ability to assign themselves a single name (without a space character). Plus "Display Names" to add flexibility and as many space characters as one could want. But I doubt they expected the blowback from having accidentally creating a sort of second class of residents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have exactly, sort of, that. When you purchased premium years ago you got a profile tag that said “premium”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar badge still distinguishes the beta members (notice the orange tag in the upper right of this profile) and I think also lifetime members or whatever they're called who very early-on paid extra for permanent premium and some perpetually tier-free allotment of Mainland (4096m² maybe?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
