That's a problem that could only occur to an immortal.

..In Second Life time, it's their 120th Anniversary..and Patch hasn't aged a day.

(I think Patch needs a laugh track!)

 

[Rowan Amore]

They'll have an Adult exhibit section, too.

[Love Zhaoying]

Patch's announcements are over, and I did not hear any "unexpected" big announcements. 

Stay Tuned, right?

if it comes with teir .. RIP dreams anyone has of invigorating mainland. Abandoned Lifetime accounts from the platform launch ties up a lot of land.

didnt surprise me. had a feeling lifetime was coming

[AzureWaves]

Any guesses on the price of lifetime?

[Rowan Amore]

What was the cost before?  Whatever it was called.

[Tary Allen]

depending on price (it will be expensive) put at least 4096 land and a possibility for 2 LH and I'll think about it

(the last ones, in 2003 I think were how much? 250 USD? 20 years ago? it will be very expensive)

As long as it's not a Lifetime membership (as in the cable/ streaming channel), I think it's a good idea.

Found this online: Lifetime accounts were a special account type that were available from the close of beta until December 22, 2003. A user could buy a lifetime account for $159.95 (later raised to $225) and would be able to enjoy Second Life without paying any monthly fees. 

What is 225 adjusted for inflation?

$225 in 2003 is worth $371.89 today

I didn't see it coming.

Where is Nux? The new PPlus homes? At least one of the things we guessed?

I give LL credit for surprising me, but I am annoyed too.

I think it will be way more than that, also depends on what they are offering

Linden Lab needs to figure in depreciation on the product though. The remaining lifetime on Second Life is not what it was in 2003.

Idea: Charge users less who have already been in Second Life longer.

Less "lifetime" is remaining, and more has already been invested in LL/SL.

Or charge us less if we're older. There's less lifetime left on us. 😆
