[How do I get to look at a new home to chose without losing my home I have first?]

I want to look at new homes like ranch or boat home to see what is available, without losing and being homeless first. How do i do that?

You know how LL saved Tempura from being non existent, I've been wondering if they could do the same for Free Dove. It would be a shame for it to dissappear now

Her wish is the store not to outlast her. But Memorial in the place of her store. Would be to honor her. So others can always see that and remember, what a great, awesome person she was. How many she Blessed by doing what she did with her heart. She will forever be missed, loved, & her name/store carried on! ❤️😭💔 May her RL/SL family, friends, & more, receive comfort & peace that passes all understanding.. God wrap His arms around everyone during this time. While He called His Angel home. 

[So what do you all think to the Premium Plus package?]

Some of you know that Patch Linden announced the new Premium Plus benefits at the SL19B today; it will launch on SL's 19th Birthday, 23rd June

Some benefits include:

2,048sq m of tier

650L$ stipend and 3,000L$ one off sign up bonus

140 groups, up from 42/70

160 messages cap (I think)

No upload fees for textures

10L$ to create a group down from 100L$

Pricing will be $24.99 introductory price per month if you sign up within the first 30 days or $29.99 normal price monthly, or $249 yearly

Thoughts?

I think it's a good package but would like to see a quarterly option as I can't afford $249 in one go

The stipend is more than I expected and the group creation fee is nice, as is free uploads

Will you be signing up? Did you catch any benefits I missed?

I want this, I need this, I will switch  from premium, to Premium Plus absolutely. well worth  it for me, being a singer manager and more in SL. About time... Just wish Price was a little lower maybe right @ $20 a month.

[Please lower or waive Second Life® fees during the COVID-19 pandemic.]

Last Friday I started a petition where I'm asking Linden Research, Inc. and Tilia Inc. to consider lowering or waiving fees during the COVID-19 crisis:

https://www.change.org/LowerFeesForArtistsSL

As my petition isn't getting the momentum I had hoped for, I've decided to also open a topic here on the official forums.

To summarize, I'm asking that any or all of these fees could be lowered or waived during the corona crisis:

LindeX Exchange Fee
Tilia Process Credit Fee
Marketplace Seller Sales Commission
Land Use Fees for Private Full Regions

I am not asking that these fees are waived or lowered for everyone, nor that they are lowered or waived forever, as we all know that this isn't going to happen. I am asking specially for all of those who are within the 30-day economic limits tier "Resident 2", who usually make only a bit over 1,000 USD a month, and who are the most likely to be unable paying their sim rent, or worse end up unable to pay for their existential basics, such as rent, food and internet bill.

The situation with quarantines and shutdowns is devastating for artists, virtual sex workers, indy coders, graphic designers and students who have a hard time making a living. It is devastating to all of those who don't get business right now, who won't get a paycheck and only bills - except for maybe the small amount that they can generate with their SL stint. They will need that now more than ever.

Please consider signing my petition, and who knows, if it happens in some way I am sure that extending such a gesture will not only be positively remembered by an already quite critical and cynical community, but also give Linden Lab and Tilia Inc. an opportunity to be well reflected by the media, and creators have a greater incentive to stay on the platform and rely on it during these hard times.

I don't want to step on anyone's foot, I know that some merchants who are in the higher tiers will be angry with me, but what I'm asking is really for those who are off the worst, not for those who earn more than 1,999 USD every month through SL anyway. I also know that Linden Lab has to care about their own employees first and foremost, which I respect very much.

Still I think this is worth a shot.

Please stay healthy.

Sincerely,

Wendy Starfall

I agree with Wendy she is right. With this virus it is getting to be outrageous and out of hand. Rl even discounting or giving free delivery, prices need to drop or go to zero for sure. When increase took place it was horrible for SL VIP.  SL we Love you please help us out during this time.
