Thank you to everyone who submitted entries to the Name Changes Contest!  We apologize that it took so long to announce the winners - but we had an overwhelming response (over 2400 Residents responded)! It was such a great list of names to go through, that it took just a bit longer than anticipated to whittle it down.  So, without further delay, I give you the first 8 (yes, 8. I couldn't narrow it down to just 5!) last names chosen for the list:

Conundrum
Dismantled
Huntsman
Littlepaws
Nova
Ravenhurst
Wumpkins
Yeetly

The winners have been notified via email, so if you suggested one of those names, be on the lookout for an email from me.  

Sorry no this was dumb idea to begin with. I am not paying hard earned good money to only chose from 8 last names. Now if I had choice to make my own sure I probably would. But there are hundreds of thousands of us on this site to only share 8 last names? NO THANKS I like my  name to be me, unique & different not have everyone basically have same 8 last names if I am wrong & it will be more than 8 names better be like 100's to chose from so least it can be little unique but even still NOPE I shall stick with my own.

We’re not lowering limits out of spite, groups really are quite a strain on our back end for a variety of painful historical reasons, including overloading group functionality instead of having other tools.  This subject alone is worth a novel liberally sprinkled with tears. So anyway, we don’t hate basic users, and in fact we work hard to retain our free-to-play offering as one of the most generous across many industries. But yes, no big surprise, we do want to nudge active residents to become subscribers, because we think it’s a great value, and - as many have noted - we’re also running a business. But no, we're not shutting our doors to non-premium residents. Rumors of our insanity and villainy have been slightly exaggerated.  

REDUCIN FREE & RAISING PREMIUM GROUPS SEEMS AGAINST WHAT YOU SAID HERE

you know if groups are hard on the system instead of reducin them how bout chargin more to make them?? isn't it like only 100L to make a group? So almost anyone can toss up a group just becuz the felt like it, MAKE IT HARDER TO MAKE A GROUP & they wouldn't be such a strain.

How bout make ppl prove they are valid group now, cuz tell me how many made a group & probably

1 - is neglectin it cuz they not here anymore or just don't care,

2 - they made it for 2 ppl or maybe more but don't use it anymore

3 - they just thought it was funny & now have nothin to do with it?

If they make us prove our group is valid in some way then who knows maybe like half the groups out there would be disabled & open up more room or whatever they do to hurt the system

PREMIUM ISN'T WORTH IT to me just to get more groups, I won't rent on mainland cuz I can't deal with the lag & it's usually always ugly nearby someone has some ugly thing up, seems no one monitors that anyone follows the rules

The new homes are nicer I admit, but hard to come by & I need more than 300 pitiful prims & I can rent cheaper & get fully decorated home if I wanted

it's cheaper to buy the 300L a week

so bout the only benefit I would get is more groups? oh wait get in events I rarely go to? See if I'm poor why would I go to events? I buy lindens or earn them if I can. So why pay out money for somethin doesn't benefit me really? I don't go to events so the suggestion of usin events may not help me I keep my favorite creators groups to keep up with any new stuff they make.
