I'm already a premium member and have no interest in the new 1024 homes released. But I really hope they plan to finish that island up and perhaps add more islands before they increase the prices or that will just be another jab in the heart to all the people wanting and waiting on a new Linden home. Plus seeing another half finished continent is very bleh.

Yep, and I still hate events and wish they would die out! lol

Yeah i kinda figured that would cause more issues than its worth, not to mention the increase in support tickets and live chat.

Nah, the 1% wouldn't exist without the 99% paying them.

I got a question for you, my renewal date IS June 24th, does that mean I can pay twice for 2 years?

I don't think that would attract many new users lol

I'm totally against micro transaction type platforms, but it may just work on a platform like SL, but I wouldn't call it a micro tranaction if people were able to pick their premium wants. Set price for group increase, set price if you want the 1024 or not. Basically a build your own membership. Check the boxes for all the features you want, then check out. I'm sure this isn't something that could easily be done and may end up causing more issues in the end then it would be worth dealing with between technical issues and customer support.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold memberships?

Seems as most of the big content creators don't mind about the price hikes, and of course the land barons don't mind. I think the group limitations on the basic members seems to be the issue most have. Easy fix. Let basic members keep their 42 groups, but still lower their offline IMs. Problem solved. This would eliminate probably a good 50% of the unhappy people posting all over the internet. What I posted on the other thread "$99 Problems" I still believe to be true. But overall I can live with these changes. I'm still gonna pay my premium (Specially since I get to up it another year for same price woot!) and I'm still going to be here tomorrow. Everyone is just in shock right now as usual and will get over it and accept it. SL is like heroin and we are all junkies, no way out except rehab and even then you will probably be back So I think just allow the basic members to retain their 42 groups and lets go do what we do on SL!

Join their Facebook group instead 🤣

Haha good point, told ya I didnt know what I was talking about I dont get out much... lol

But an increase in private regions by land barons who will in turn rent parcels out to all the people that dropped premium and no longer "own" land. Own 3 sims and rent them out = Premium for a year covered just off the profits from 1 single month. Rich get richer poor get poorer? Corporate America! Risk vs Reward. Should be pretty easy to get all your parcels rented out once this goes in to full effect. Should also be a lot of newly abandoned land. Mainland will be a post apocalyptic desert. I'm just kidding, I have no clue what I'm talking about.

Agree agree.

So what you are saying is THE REAL ISSUE is not the decrease in groups but group owners forcing people to join their group for benefits.... seems like group owners need to change their plan.

I think they do care. They do tons of testing on stuff and I'll willing to bet testing shows that you and I will be here tomorrow, and you and I are still gonna pay our premium, and you and I are both going to suck it up and continue playing SL even with the increased premium and linden purchase/sell fees. See you tomorrow

Seems the only ones benefiting from this are private region owners. (The 1%ers) I could give 2 poops about extra groups myself. Can give me 10 groups and I'll live. Offline IM's can be sent to email so don't care about that either. To me it seems like the wrong audience is targeted in this. The majority of SL people are not private region owners (right? or am I wrong?) and even the $20 off the price its still way out of reach for the majority of the population to even fathom the possibility of owning one. I think a price reduction in tier in general would have been a better thing than private regions. I am glad they will be allowing you to re-up your premium at current prices if you do it before June 24th. So they at least have me for another year. A HUGE portion of SL players are disabled too. So I expect there will be a few premium drop offs from them. I think the end result of this will be a lot less premium members and maybe the people that already own sims might get a couple more. So if you rent land out... get ready because all the people that stop paying for premium will need a place to rent soon and you can get a region to rent to them $20 cheaper!

You should probably clear the landing point and allow people to fly. Lot of people like to see the ground level and when you put walls up and disable flying in a skybox it makes it difficult to get down to the ground lol or put something at the landing point allowing people to TP down.

Very true, there is a few around though. Lot of the sims in Kama City are very decent. Everywhere else is pretty well trashed though lol

Yeah and the sensors probably cause more lag than a house rezzed out unless for some odd reason the house is full of running scripts (Unlikely)

Corchalo is also the laggiest sim on Zindra. Scripts are well beyond bottomed out. I have yet to find a sim on Zindra worse than Corchalo.

Good site to check also once you have decided on a CPU or Video Card https://thebottlenecker.com/calculator Make sure your CPU or GPU aren't getting bottle necked by each other killing potential performance.

I never use banlines, I despise them and wish they weren't an option. I do use security orbs but only if I am sleeping and leave my avi on. Like MirandaBowers said, they take away from the community. No banlines, Object entry always on, rez always on, and privacy eye only on at night if I'm sleeping otherwise its off. Keep it real.

Very nice job! Love the tree and you hardly notice your dippy jerk neighbor anymore and I bet it really pissed them off that your deco is far superior than theirs even after their attempts to ruin your land Good job!!!

ok

Show me ANY adult land for 1L per sqm and I will buy it all
