I know there must be a very simple answer to this question, so I am hoping someone will be able to sate my curiosity. Even though SL is free to join, it takes Lindens to buy land, have a decent avatar, upload photos, join certain groups, etc. So I am always curious when I see an avatar that has been on SL for years and does not have any payment information on file. Yet, they have a beautiful home, mesh avatar, etc, etc, etc, As I said, I am sure there is a simple, logical answer .. and I am hoping someone will be able to share. Thank you!
