Ok, so LL hasn't raised Premium fees in years, I get that they might need to raise fees a little but to jump from $72 to $99 in a single bound is a little much. The perks you mention, are not all that great.. yes the new linden homes are nice(if you can get one) but the premium "gifts" are a joke at best... they are so primy that you can't even use them on Linden Homes so what is the point of them. The extra groups are nice, but I don't want them at the expense of the free members losing there groups. There are only 2 "perks" I think most people even use beside the linden home... the easier excess to Events and the stipend(which has also never been raised... I mean $300L is not all that much... try raising it to at least $500L and it might be a selling point). If you want to attract new members, this is NOT the way to do it... make SL more affordable and more people will join. I currently have 2 premier memberships, but you can best believe that I am going to drop at least one when my annual renewal comes up... LL needs to not use trickle down economics…. we already know it doesn't work.
