[Thanks Linden Labs]

Just a quick thanks to Linden Labs for removing the "Short Bus To Rancho Cucamonga" from the desert area of Linden Realms. That always seemed like an outdated pejorative for folks requiring special education, and the goofy alien look of the folks on the bus just made it worse. Hope the bus has now reached Rancho Cucamonga 🙂   Despite its nature it was a fun "adversary" in the game; maybe they could replace it with a Tesla Cybertruck, a Hummer, or something equally offensive to the world in general rather than just one protected class.

[Infrastructure Investment Update: Buy/Sell Fee Change and Land Pricing Effective Mar 6, 2023 DISCUSSION]

The more I think about these changes, the angrier I get. These new policies are like the GOP's tax breaks for the rich (landowners) and then spreading the debt burden among the poor (average user using Lindex). Second Life is looking very, very unattractive right now.

[Linden Realms to Have a Separate Premium Option]

Yeah, there has always (?) been a stack of two portals. What's new is that this one has two Linden Realms portals side by side, one marked "Premium." Premium accounts haven't been around so long, and AFAIK no mention has been made before of premium members having a different experience in Linden Realms. A premium account is way out of my league, but I'm curious what the benefits in Linden Realms might turn out to be.

L$25 is actually only about $0.10 US, so even worse than you were originally thinking

 Yikes! You're so right! I need to stop multitasking 🙂

[Linden Realms to Have a Separate Premium Option]

Heads up Linden Realms players, looks like a big change may be coming: Linden Realms may be getting a Premium option. Happened to be camming around in Portal Park 2 and saw a new Realms portal directly below below the usual one. The Linden Realms payout is horribly low: just L25 / 0.25 USD, so I'll be interested to see what costs and payouts come with a premium option.
