My question (and I am sure its been bought up before, but I would like to hear the labs reasoning on this).
Why not open up homestead regions to everyone instead of forcing people to take up a full prim region first? It seems this rule has been in place a long long time now.. The lab would see a much larger adoption of homesteads being leased direct if they were to change the rule. Most people cannot afford to pay the cost of a full prim region + a homestead... And not everyone wants a full prim region.
PS: I'm aware there are private rentals in world via people like the chungs... I just would rather be giving my money to the lab direct instead of helping to make some estate tycoon rich. So I am curious whether there are any plans to change the rules as to who can take up a homestead direct with the lab.
^^ This is one of my biggest desires for SL: I currently privately rent a homestead, which is the perfect mix of size/cost/privacy - but I'm unable to set up a sane billing process to give LL money directly for it, instead having to go via a third party landlord!
