    Everything is more expensive for all people all over the world. 😔

    And it is not just that, but it is a feeling of gloom and depression. The news are just bad news now, nothing bright about the future.

     

    I understand that.  I have a friend in real life who bought an electric car whose paying 800 a month just for electric and gas.

    Yes, that's true, but you still have to pay an astronomical set up fee and then the monthly fee on top of that.  That's over $500 to get a 5000 prim homestead!!!  If anything, homesteads should have prims increased to 7500.  That MIGHT be worth it.

    I paid 150 us dollars to set up the sim and it included the first months tier.  It serves the purpose in which I need it for until I get bored and cancel all of it and return to real life.  I've been spending less time in SL in general and more time traveling again now that we do as we please in RL.

    Oh, one thing, where do you stand when you write down the adress numbers? In the middle of the parcel, or by the mailbox?

    Middle of the Parcel is where I would stand.

    Feel free to message me in world if you want to talk about this some more.   :)

    I can only speak from my own experience .. I did a spreadsheet. I have multiple premium accounts and keep track of all my upload fees .. I'm actually pretty lazy about using the beta grid to test things, so it can rack up quick if I'm in a blender mood. Multiple premiums was for me a far better deal. If there were 2048 homes, that's a different proposition and not a decision I would make on the land allowance alone.

    I've played GoH some and .. never found the need to point to a specific house. The rest of the package was kinda eeeehhh.

    With the exception of live chat - Gating responsive customer support behind the most expensive subscription option only inspires anger and frustration.

     

    Maybe most people didn't do the math and presumed the new homes were already fairly advanced in their development.

    I bought a homestead to live on with Premium Plus so that actually is the one added benefit that I'd wanted for years they finally offered for premium plus.

    Unless they make a 2048 victorian premium plus house, I will simply stay on the one I have now.  I can't be bothered.

    I like the 650 a week, making groups for whatever it costs, free uploads, and the 150 groups.  Plus owning a homestead myself I don't get jacked up tier from land barons.

    I've always wanted to ask, and now I can, how you put in your other requests? Did you put in a new ticket for every one of them? Or just put them in the last little comment section.

    No just list them in your ticket for the house you are asking for..

    1st choice - 

    If that isn't avaliable

    2nd choice -

    if that isn't avaliable

    3rd choice

    so on down the line..

    Simple to follow - easy to write.

    If the Houseboat's best spots (end of line, not obstructed view) were not selected by P+, it could be because rumor spread slowly from the forum and out to the general public.

    Eventually, the early P+ customers hold so much land elsewhere, Linden Homes are of no interest for them.

    As the situation is now, the Coastal Victorians are few and very many are interested. I doubt I am the only one who consider going P+ just for a month, then downgrade to P. It means more good spots will be taken, maybe all in a region. This is a whole new group of customers, compared to the ones who selected P+ mainly for uploads and more groups. This is the group where the Linden Home is the main attraction.

    So what we search for, is the answer: Will the regions that are renamed from SSP to the final name, be held for a period of time and the tickets from P+ filled? And then, only then, are the region showing up on the land page, available for P+ and P equally?

    Is it so? Transparency, we want that.

    I am not going to pay 30US monthly out of my love for SL, if I get no benefits over paying 12US monthly.  As @Abnor Molesay, get the maximum benefit out of P+, and my main interest is Linden Homes, so more groups and all the other perks is not benefits worth 18US more.

    I understand there are many who want equity and that P and P+ should get the same rules. I am worried that those people will complain if they see P+ use the perks of P+, because that is "unfair".

    It is already a lot of negative comments about people who pay for more than one P, and get better odds for picking good homes. It would be best for all if LL laid out the rules, and say if it is a delay so P+ with tickets are assigned their selected home before the houses show up on the land page. And LL say clearly: This is how P+ is meant to work.

    It would hopefully cut back the complaints about "abusing the system, and finding loopholes".

    And those who want to know if it is a point in paying for P+, we do not know how the perk really works. Some say we are sure to get a house we want. Some say it is not so, and it is just a coincidence that it has worked like this until now.

    @Derrick Linden

     

    They fill all premium plus request for particular regions which are being released before the linden restarts the sim to put it on the land page queue

    You can put 2nd choice 

    3rd choice 

    even a 4th choice 

    that way I’ve found Whitney hasn’t had to come back to me

    It is now being claimed in another thread that prior to releasing a region of homes to the queue of homes allocated by the algorithm, Lindens accept requests from Premium Plus residents and pre-assign these homes. Days later, the region is released to everyone else but the choice homes are already taken.

    Is this true? 
    If so, is this documented anywhere?

    That’s the way it has worked since premium plus became a thing.  I’ve acquired a few houses like this.  2 which I still have

    What if two PPlus choose the same Linden home?

    But in the past, regions without SSP has had houses named "Linden Homes" a long period before they are released?

    This goes against what Diamond posts? If a region has 5 coastal homes, and it is 5 tickets, then all coastal houses is taken by PPlus?

    If it says Linden Home you can ask for. Home in the region.  If it says protected Land you can’t ask until it is reset.  I’d suggest having 1 2 3 choices in the ticket listed and saves you. Whole hassle of watching region get released while you wanted a house on it.  If your first ones gone you are likely to get 2 or 3 other choices.    Have any questions pm me and I can tell you more about it as I’ve acquired all my houses the last 5 or 6 months this way with premium plus memberships 

    if you want one of those coastal victorians then you have every right to engage the service OF PP to get one.  I had a look today they seem alright

    Yes, that. For that price of PPlus, I was hoping for more land than 2048m.

    And hehe, I can find use for not only 5000Li, but 30 000 Li. But I can't afford it, of course. 

    I am renting enough land now, that I have almost 5000 Li. For this I pay the land company 57 US a month, including transaction fee for buying Lindens.

    I must pay LL 249 US first, 149 US in setup fee, then 109 US every month for 5000 Li in a homestead. And 25% VAT on top of the monthly price.

    Even if I didn't have to pay VAT, a homestead would cost me the double every month, PPlus and setup fee not included.

    Actually, it was 149 for the homestead for the first month that includes the first month of tier - then 109 a month after that.  I recently got rid of my grandfathered full sim as my second life partner, and I wanted something different.

    I think any level of Plus, Premium and PPlus has too little land included.

    I agree that it should be much more. Like @Andred Darwinand others suggested.

    But SL will not kill the land market? So many of us get more and more land because we want to set out more plants, nicer furniture etc etc. (Not that it isn't great looking low Li furniture, but I got to the point where I feel that I only use that, and would want some 20 - 30 Li furniture instead of 6 - 10)

    SL runs on tier and rentals. And we stay here and pay as much as we can afford. At least I do. If I could, I would have a region with 30 000 Li.

    If you can buy a homestead on Premium Plus why in the world would you ever need more land than that?

    In order:

    We have only changed the VAT policy for membership levels (Plus, Premium, Premium Plus).

    We can reconsider it in the future! But we have no plans to do so at this time. We're moving into a direction where the various membership types are differentiated not just by price, but by function. Plus is intended primarily to democratize mainland ownership (and was released intentionally with a tier maintenance reduction). Premium, while currently being the 'jack-of-all-trades' subscription level as a result of it being the ONLY subscription level until very recently, remains the membership type for Linden Homes. My intent at the moment, is to move further toward enhancing those differentiators in the future.

    No. Same basic answer as above.

    @Reed Linden best thing you've done in the last decade is make homestead ownership avaliable with premium plus.  I don't need a 2048 house as long as that is a perk.  I just bought one directly from you and so have a couple other friends.  You will sell way more homesteads at this point to people with premium plus.  I've found the people who recently bought homesteads because of this change have now come back to secondlife on a regular basis versus visiting on the occasion.  This also gave me the option to still maintain a region while not playing secondlife as much. I don't mind spending 109 dollars a month if I'm only using the region 2 to 3 days a week.  Made much more sense.

    LL likes it when people do this. Patch stated it was one of the reasons for letting people request specific parcels. It's sort of a bummer for the rest of us, but who wants to be the only outsider on a sim owned by a clique anyway? Been there, done that.

    From a financial business standpoint it makes the most sense economically for Linden Labs to close down any paths other than premium plus to achieve this goal. 
     

    Enjoy the weekend as I’m off to do things in real life.  I spent enough time posting to this forum that I can go back to not reading it again.

    I can halt the system as narrowly or broadly as necessary.  In other words, I could target one particular case of abuse or many, or all.  I'm not saying that is what it will come to, and hopefully it will not.  It's tough to predict the future. 

    Someone needs to tell us if there is an exploit, otherwise I suspect it doesn't actually exist if there is no proof to be handed over and no one is willing to tell us (or even me directly) how you do it.

     

    Interesting @Patch Linden thanks for the information.  As to the last part of this post its been covered at one point or another.  However, I will send you a message directly with the information required. :) 

    Have a lovely weekend to one and all.
