Keep this line of argument up and people will start peeking to see if you have actually spent anything to join groups, reminding you that you've been enjoying SL for free for years and will continue to do so, and pointing out that your roleplay job for literal pennies is at best a poor use of your time from a financial perspective.
A wow sub does come with a significant amount of content though, you can play wow for a long time and still not see it all.
They can't just give more land or more money, that defeats the entire purpose of re-balancing their income. They can continue to make premium accounts objectively better than basic accounts. More group slots, more animesh attachments, more offline IMs, more ... <anything / everything with some kind of cap here>.
Basic accounts are not going to come out ahead at any point during this transition
Oh for sure. It does have a lot of content! It was just an example of a game though. I've experience a lot of pay to play games, games you have to do a one time buy, and games that are free but to have a better experience you put money into. Overall I've gotten used to my games somehow costing money is what I meant.
Yea I wasn't thinking like, more land. But some kind of slight bonus. Nothing extreme. Maybe 100 extra linden with the increase. Or something like (since a lot of people premium or not purchase linden out right) 10% discount or something. Nothing big like half off. But something at least noticable without having to screw basic accounts because as I said I've had that a lot too and do agree there's no way they will come out a head in the end.
Just my opinion though 🙂

Currently not in-world, actually getting ready to sleep! (I've slept like 8-10 hours in the last 48 hours) but I will be on tomorrow night/evening or possibly when I get up if you're available to tomorrow.

Well to be honest, LL doesn't owe us anything. It's a private company providing a service. I understand that many people are of very limited means, as I have been myself in the past, but...the Lab doesn't owe us anything. Whether or not these changes are a good move is obviously the subject of much debate, and I do think it would be daft to introduce pay to play as many basic members still put money into the system and contribute in other ways, and I think it would be very off if people who have accounts now were to lose access to all the inventory items and so on that they already have under the current terms. But I really can't object to the very concept of a private company charging for its totally optional product.
There's a post somewhere from a gamer who says that she's used to having to pay to play the games she likes, and that's probably why this isn't bothering her.Does it help to think of basic membership as a free demo that you can play as long as you like?
I agree with the post from the gamer you mentioned. I play WoW as well so $15 a month is normal to me if I want to play and SL's premium is cheaper than that.. and optional. I've bounced back and forth between having it and not multiple times.
Personally I don't care about the IM and group change really. It doesn't directly effect my game play or experience. As long as everything else is the same we're good haha.
I am disappointed about the premium $ raise though and the change of no quarterly. I just reactivated mine recently as quarterly because i wanted land so I managed to head off that change it seems. But it sucks that if I removed it again I can't get quarterly next time. But the $ premium raise, is making me consider wanting to cancel it. Going to spend less on or not at all on getting linden with the $ raise because more moneys now going towards that. And then biting into the budget of other gaming, more and pick and choosing. 😞
unless there was substantial more premium bonuses added that I missed then I'm severely disappointed by the price increase.

yes there are some areas of mainland that do not allow terraforming
if you still not sure if you actually have mainland then check in About Land
About Land \ General \ Type: Mainland / Full Region
I'm 98% sure it did say it was on mainland, I made sure to check that (I always second gusss myself). So it must just be a spot that doesn't have terraforming then. Didn't know some did and didn't or why.

Whoops, hold on.
Is that $L750 a ONE TIME purchase fee? Did you pay it to a rental box, or did you click the "Buy Land" button in World/Parcel Details/General tab? If you paid a rental box, it's a rental charge (most likely for a week's rent) and you don't own the land, you're renting it. If you OWN the land, you can terraform it (within limits). If you RENT the land, you may or may not have terraforming privileges, depending on your landlord's policies.
So it was payment I did to the land on mainland. It didnt day anything about rental and it showed up with the yellow price tag on the map as Alyona suggested looking that way to view land sales.
It said the parcel was able to be combined or separated, with others, also resellable but it didn't have terraforming. There was no convenant or groups or anything associated with it either and I didn't see any mailboxes or anything that said renta anywhere on the property, around the property,
So From my understanding it was a land purchase, at least I really hope so haha. Otherwise that's gonna be a disappointment!
i can show you the property if that'd be easier to help understand it.

"Prim pollution" is when you set your draw distance to 128 meters (*maybe 256, but that's not really fair) and the surrounding area is "polluted" with ugly junk, especially in the sky. In other words, it is unsightly. If you raise your draw distance higher than 128 meters (this is the default LL sets) then you *will* see junk, so that's not a fair assessment.
Rentals are just that: you do NOT own the land. Even if you are buying the land in a private region, you are still only renting it and paying another "resident" (SL user) - and that user has all God powers to eject you and revoke the land from you (take it back) and kick you out any time they choose for any reason they choose and do not have to refund you a single L$.
When you purchase land on the Mainland, you are actually the owner of it, you do not pay another Resident; you pay Linden Lab land-use fees at different tiers based on how large that parcel is. If you are a Premium member, (wh9ich you must be to purchase land for yourself,) the land-use fees for the first 1024 square meters are waved: you do not have to pay it. This means you buy the land and never, ever have to pay another single L$ to *ANYONE*.
If you want to learn even more about land-use fees (it's not called "tier" LOL) and land ownership (such as all the amazing things you can do with it) I very strongly recommend you contact @Lindal Kidd and get to her "Land Ownership" workshop.
Thank you so much! I actually followed and used your tips to find land and I think I found something pretty good, at least for me I suppose haha. Moderate mainland 750L for 1024. Didn't notice any prim pollution that you mentioned apart from someone having multiple skyboxes somewhat closish but really noticable from within mine which i basically just wanted a nice skybox. I'll have to check out her workshop. I did notice that my land doesn't seem to allow terraforming, not that I know how to really do that and it shouldn't effect a skybox but is that good or bad, or how/why do have some terraforming and some don't?

Myself and one of my friends have recently been getting back into SL again and one of my favorite things to do is shop around whether it be shopping to buy or just window shopping.
So I'm looking for more and new shopping buddies/friends!
Clothes, house stuff, random stuff, whatever it may be. I don't really have a particular one style I stick to either personally, so perfectly fine shopping around whatever you want too really. I just enjoy looking and sometimes hate doing it alone! Looking at all the new monthly events is a big one I like to do though.
If you're also interested in finding a shopping buddy, or honestly just more friends feel free to leave me a comment or shoot me a message in-world!

If you're purchasing mainland, you can do/put whatever on it - you can even do a ground house and a skybox (providing you have the LI available) .
I've taken Lindal's class before. I highly recommend it.
Thank you! Everyone's answers were so helpful I am happy to say i now have a piece of land and skybox starting to get set up!

I teach a free class on land on Saturdays, at Caledon Oxbridge University, at 12 noon SL Time! Hope you can make it!
If I haven't found something by then I'll have to stop by if I'm awake! And even if I have I might anyways since I don't know much about having my own land aside from rentals haha

The way I shop for mainland is by using the in-world map.
- Turn on the "Land for Sale" checkmark and zoom outward as far as you can until those yellow overlays on the map disappear, you want to be outward as far as you can.
- Have a budget: what size, in square meters, are you looking for. Then decide on the maximum cost limit (price per prim (LI). My personal limit is L$5 per prim.)
- Now slowly scroll around the map and look for yellow overlays that look somewhat like the kind of location or shape (or both) you want.
- Hover mouse over the tiny "price tag" icon and click it. You will see the size in square meters, the selling price, and the price-per-prim (LI).
- If it looks promising, the *minimize* (don't close) the world map and TP to that parcel to have a closer look.
By *minimizing* the world map, it will not need to rez all over again and will be just how you left it. You want to visit the parcel to be sure it is suitable (just a vertical cliff-side, for example) and also to see what it's surround with, what the lag (if any) is like, and what, if any, prim-pollution looks like.
Wow thank you so much, this is really helpful! I was trying to look the other day using the search thing and everything showing up was rentals so this will be so much easier! What do you mean by prim-pollution?
Have you ever had experience with the land auctions?
One question I've really had is, I've seen with land rentals that some are skybox only or land only. Is that the same with purchasing land? Or is it like if it's my land it's mine I can do/put whatever on it, ground house, skybox, etc?

It is a new continent of Linden homes. Each plot is now 1024sqm instead of the old 512sqm plus there are copious amounts of houseboats and water ways. It has been a roaring success with people anxiously waiting for more houses and houseboats to be made available.
Ooh thank you! I'll have to check it out. I'd seen it mentioned before but no idea what it was. how do you know when/if they're available?

Hi, so not really sure if i'm posting this in the right kind of spot or not.
But I've been looking into purchasing land recently and was just curious if there was any tips or advice on how to go about doing it or answer some questions.
Most recently was looking at land auctions and I did read all the FAQ and such on it but still have some confusion about how all of it works.
If anyones willing to help out, has suggestions, or even advice/tips that'd be great.
In the past I've only had a meadowbrook LL house and rented a plot from a place a old friend recommended so I don't really know much about it outside of that. Thank you in advance!
Will check back here to see any responses or can message me in-world Kaydinlynn.

Just a thought since you are new. SL just created a new continent called Bellisseria that the new Linden homes are located in. But, even if you don't live there the community is popping right now since its so new and exciting. You could go into search on SL and go to the groups tab and look for groups that begin with the word Bellisseria then join the top 2 populated groups (Citizens and Community I think). I think you will find both of those groups very active with all sorts of discussion and invites to parties on the continent. And you can meet people of all walks of life there too. If you like it a lot you may even want to end up living there eventually.
Hello! Just curious, what is this Bellisseria you speak of?

Hi Vera, not new to SL here, but I guess "new" as in returning for a billionth time haha. Also love to shop and chat if you want to!
