Arielle Popstar Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Oh rent by the month. Would have been nice to have the option to rent for a day or week for a special event. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Whimsy Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 $899 per month seems incredibly steep. Not sure how many event organisers want to pay almost $600 more just to have more shoppers at the same time. Seems like quite the cut into the profit margins. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you have the money, an SL region that "works better" is worth it! I hope all SL regions "work better" someday! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends how much they are already spending on cam sims, maybe a couple of the really big events would move over but I can't see all of them doing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arielle Popstar Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Don't see the justification for the increased setup costs either. I would assume the it is just a couple of configuration settings and then execute it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yestothis Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Have they done any research and concluded that this is a desirable product? This is expensive, even for the top tier events! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Anymore, cam sims are only needed for a couple of days and certainly not for a month. It might be less expensive in the long run especially for bigger anniversary events like Fameshed is having if everyone is giving out a gift. Any other time, they really aren't that bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Voyager Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Linden Lab have just announced new event regions. Quote We are really excited to present this new region offering to you today. Here are the details on the capabilities and what is included with the Event Regions type: A maximum avatar limit of 175 per Event region Up to 30,000 land impact*Region will support up to 30,000 Land Impact. During performance testing, Linden Lab has identified a few cases where exceeding 20,000 Land Impact will degrade performance with a large number of concurrent visitors. Extended chat ranges upon request, allowing chat to travel further across the region RaaS: Rollbacks as a Service - Request to restore your region to a previous state as needed. Some restrictions apply IaaS: Instancing as a Service - Request to have your region duplicated to another region White glove Concierge service Over 20% Improved script performance Pricing Details: For initial release, we are pleased to offer an introductory price of $599, with no additional setup fee through June 6, 2022. Following the introductory pricing, event regions will have a set-up fee of US$999 (includes first month), and a rate of $899/month after the first 30 days. What do you think about the new region offering ? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually only $100 on top of the monthly fee - so it's $100+1st months rent to get it set up after the introductory pricing period. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah sorry, I was thinking about that while I was busy doing something else and realized i needed to amend my post on the setup cost because I didn't account for the free month.

I did go back and reread the notice at a slow rate and saw the "will have a set-up fee of US$999 (includes first month)." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tary Allen Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 900 USD month? Wow, a bit on the expensive I think So, if this is possible I assume all regions can have a bit of a boost, 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) If you look in the Knowledge Base, you'll see that LL has always made it possible to rent full private regions by the day, for $50/day. That amounts to $1500 for a month. If you're planning a major event that's more than a week or two long, the new deal looks pretty good, especially with the expanded L.I. and avatar limits.

If they extend that pricing to this new region setup yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm that is true, didn't think about the cam sims, but how many events even have them? Can barely think of a handful, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hexem Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 These prices are out of control. I said it somewhere else- one can buy a dedicated server box outright for 800 bucks, and get a dedicated fiber connection for 80 a month or less. Why are we paying thousands for a virtual server? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good. One of the sample events we tested had hit capacity. Most were in draw distance, no "cam" regions. My personal experience had me walking around in the region freely, feeling no incumbrances, and with a subjectively reasonable FPS.. Metrics and feedback show better results than similarly loaded events taking place at a third of that capacity (and frustrating to experience). 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Event Regions as a product are certainly not limited to actually running events. They can be used to host Roleplaying Regions or any other purpose our residents desire! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
