is it normal for Linden Labs to offer rewards for owning so many regions. we have been told that if we pay 3 months ahead of time on our tier that we will get a bonus time added to our rental tme claiming its from the fact they own over 1000 regions, im wondering if this is true because it just seems like a scam to me as they are offering the extended time to us for paying such a large sum up front.
