Jordyn McGregor Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I did it for the extra groups and ability to squeeze into events easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I don't have 5 reasons, but only 2: 1. Bellisseria home. 2. Weekly stipend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doris Johnsky Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I don't get it because I am a tightwad and I don't know how secure my CC would be on LL.  And to be honest, I've made and spent way more L$ in SL than that dinky 300 L$ a week would give me.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I have my own private estate, so I have Concierge Support and don't need a sandbox to build in, or a Linden Home, or land on the Mainland estate. A L$300/week stipend would be nice but income from rents, Marketplace sales, and other work amount to more than enough to cover normal expenses, so it's not a big draw for me.  I'm not a compulsive shopper, so the extra groups and access to crowded regions don't matter to me either. All in all, Premium membership is a great deal for lots of people but doesn't offer me any more than I already enjoy. (And Linden Lab is getting more from me as a Basic member with region ownership than they would if I paid for Premium, too. Win-win.  😉 ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quistess Alpha Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 For me: Being able to purchase (rather than rent from a resident) land. Access to play around with scripting 'experiences' (You need that to script good teleporters and temp-attach things, I don't have a use-case for KVP yet.) The "stipend" (actually more of a rebate IMO) makes it quite inexpensive if you do the math and pay yearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are right. Â For me, the main reasons I pay premium: having a Linden home or 1024m of free tier access to premium sandboxes (it's more quieter than the free-for-all public ones) the weekly L$300 stipend plus the bonus L$1000 after being active for 45 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a place my non-premium alts would like to check out. With premium sandboxes, I know Greg and Eddy won't have to worry about random cagers flung about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 The stipend is a nice offset of the cost -- it reduces the yearly fee to roughly $25 -- but the primary benefits to me is the 1024 tier and the increased number of groups.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoiraKathleen Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 The main reasons I went premium were: - ability to buy mainland - free 1024 sqm tier or a free Linden Home - stipend (even though it's not much, but there are times when the amount of L$'s I can buy per month is very limited, so knowing I'll have at least 1200 L$'s a month from the stipend is nice) - premium sandboxes Premium cost is still less per year than some other entertainment type subscriptions, especially when paid annually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finite Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) I honestly only do it for one reason. Well one and a half I guess. 1. Priority TP into full events. .5 Stipend is a nice little bonus when you don't want to deposit more $ into the game. I have 3 premiums so it's like a free fatpack a week for one of my avies xD. I prefer private land over mainland so the property doesn't do much for me. I have a plot but have only been there once since I set it up.

Stephanie Misfit Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Well I need to be premium to own mainland, so there is no choice there. I get a larger stipend, being an older account. And I like the priority access to crowded places. I suppose I could get a linden home if I wanted, too. Having an extra animesh attachment can be nice at times too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Pancake Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) I have a few premiums. Priority teleports +1024 Tier / Lindy home Stipend Occasional live chat support Um .. yeah .. a sense of community spirit ? As for the whole list I do not care about sandboxes or the gifts, the IM cap would be nice and should be unlimited, more groups .. eeeeh .. I don't voice in SL Needed one for my name change, but if I didn't have it at the time there is no way I would go premium just to unlock that. Who do we have to poke to get the Private Home picture updated to a new lindy home, and why is the support person sitting in an empty room?
