Kill it in it's crib Premium: "ploos" , it's "Plus", please

[Sid Nagy]

Anyhow.... the way inflation is hitting the RL world, there is more chance that my entertainment spending has to go down instead of up. And I guess I will not be the only one who will have to be more careful with the money.
So Plus or Ploos is not really entering our world under ideal economic circumstances if it will be delivered somewhere next month.

Well, if they simply double the tier and stipend, plus a few other misc. things, for double the price, I don't see how that is an advantage over just having 2 Premiums.  Having 2 Premiums at least lets me have 2 Linden Homes if I want.

I've got two premiums myself..

If they end up dumping everything into the next level up and leaving us shy with a bone or two here and there.. I won't end of doing either of them..

Premium I hope still will feel like premium rather than a watered down version down the road..

... Btw, I think we may be misspelling Ploos.  Consider this:

It's a gray day in San Francisco.  The Premium Plus program manager is starting her hybrid meeting to, once again, get consensus on PP benefits.  She puts up a slide that, unbeknownst to her, is the SAME slide the then program manager presented 3 years ago, with the numbers jiggled a bit.  Suddenly she yanks the slide off the screen and leans into the camera.

Listen.  I can't do it ANY MORE.  I cannot say the words "Premium Plus" again!  You don't know ... I have long boring nightmares about this feature.  This HAS to end!  We really have to nail these down in this meeting or I am going to perish from the Premium Plus Blues!  In fact *scrawls on the slide and slaps it back into view* from now on, it is not Premium Plus!  I'm calling it "Plues" !  Let's agree, this ends today, right now!  Which means we have to roll it out as soon as we can!  Agreed?

The people in the room laugh and raise their distilled waters.  "Hail Plues!".  The people at home take deep sips of their spiked coffees.  "To Plues!  It ends today!"

I thought they would classify it as Leg-less and With-Legs accounts!

Plues is just one letter away from Pleas. Pleas is one letter away from Please. 

One pleas by saying please plus begging for more. 

Makes sense to me. 🥳

They should rename Premium plooos to just regular Premium ..

.. and rename regular Premium to Premium Peon.

None premiums get their usernames replaced with a string of 12 numerical digits.

Perfect name for a wifi connected bidet that comes with its own app. This podcast is brought to you by PLOOS. 

I do have an experimental one, wifi reception stinks though

I wouldn't worry about hearing it a lot, I REALLY doubt there's any risk that they'll use it in any official communication.

We are talking about Linden Lab here. Oh yes they would.

Premium Peon.... 😂 That should be a new tier for Blizzard.

Premium Peon is for noob guys, you get Lindens in 20L chunks to tip, and impress, the DJ's and a nice prim cube containing  your very first barely scripted freennie. Also includes a tuxedo, the legs require an alpha that they never wear , cuz that's the way they roll.

Probably because the can is facing the wrong direction!

I thought it was because it's missing the rabbit ears.

I would not expect that to work for WiFi for two reasons:

1. My head would be in the antenna's Fresnel zone when I am using that.
2. That appears to be a UHF log-periodic antenna instead of a WiFi antenna.

I may wait for Premium Pro and Premium Pro+.

[Coffee Pancake]

I'm waiting for Premium Pro Plus MAX, it has wings.

[Silent Mistwalker]

Premium SuperPro SuperMAX Plus SuperMAXPro 

Here there be dragons.

Very much could be a internal joke name.

In internal groups I am in, we've mispronounced or misspelled stuff by mistake and found it so funny we started calling it that internally, that might be what happened here.

[Ardy Lay]

Could be worse.  Remember the gasoline marketing names from a few years ago?

[Lucia Nightfire]

Just a reminder.

The only reason it is called Premium Plus is due to the "survey" on this forum.

LL was initially going to call it Premium Elite.

Also, why is an image from Pulp Fiction showing up in that link? 🤔

Because it's the first image that was imported/uploaded in that thread (instead of being linked with an external URL).

I will wait for the Ultimate Twisted Knickers FIC Edition.

If LL decides to go with Premium Plussywussy, then...

H***, I'll just do it for the name. As long as it shows up in my profile. No extra perks needed.

Otherwise, I'll settle for Premiumwemium.

[Sid Nagy]

They could easily charge a monthly 8 dollar extra for only a golden name tag.
It would be an instant hit IMHO.

Can we still pronounce "pluperfect" the old way? Do we need to enunciate each letter in the acronym "PLU" for "price look-up"? Will comic-effect splashing noises need to go "pluhp" instead of "ploop"? Just how far does the rebellion go?
