linkin Slate

I think every one feels sim fee's are to high, but what do we base this on , we trust the lindens to have set cost to cover costs and to have profit, they are in this to make money just like any other. what we have to do is look in side our selfs and ask , do we find value in what we are paying for, we do this every day when we shop on the market place dont we ? we might search for shoes for example we find some we like, then we decide on witch pair is worth the price . we pay for what we value, so qestion is is sl value worht the price we all pay ? Land has allways been a money maker for basicly the top witch is the lindens, most people basicly work weather its creating objects to sell or some other job in sl to only cover there cost of liveing here , the %that make money past what there cost in sl is to any great extent is small. lets look at some basic's here most people that have land for homes, what do they want , they want a home large enuff to look bigger then a cabin they want landscaping car in driveway beach front and to be able to furnish house in a way that, they dont have to take up bed to drop the couch. to really have enuff prims to have any thing nice and really useable your almost up to the 75 amonth area, to me a 4096 on down land sizes are a joke and a waste and worthless, i see people in a cycle the buy land build what they can, as to there dream , then run out of prims,then hardly spend time at there homes , or move on to bigger land, basicly spend more money for a few more prims, thats basicly whats its all about, it isnt land size its prims,its all about what we can do with what we pay for, that decides the value. Now the social, value of sl is great we have people from all over the world, thereis large value to sl here, and one can be in sl with out owning land here, and i belive alot pay what they do for the social value of sl,and the lindens wont change land prices if people are willing to pay ,. one thing to think about though we do have choices even in land we can have a soical life here in sl , but we can also have land on other grids, so for example avination grid , yes its new not as advanced as sl but is basicly sl , you can have a sim with no 1000 usd set up fee and only 75 a month fee, now you can build a home have abeach cars boats guest house have a full 15,000 prims just for your home, why rent when you can have and own. im not pushing avination, i love sl ,and in april will have been here 8 years, and as a business owner, im also lookng to make money in sl, i have a business center , 2 sims with 36 office 5 meeting rooms and a conference hall, and we at times have waitng list for the offices, this may sound good but basic office is 2500 a week then you get full use of meeitng rooms, its hard to get people to see the value to pay what they do for a office, yet basicly all i do is cover costs basicly of the 2 sims, now one idea is offering for a little more then they pay here i can set them up on a full sim office and center of they selfs on avination, then they have privatcy,(note alot of my clients that rent form me are reallife buiness they want to hold in world meetingns or train staff, and not interested in the rest of sl as to mingle). so here is a example of offering more value for less money and still tie in the social value of sl. thing is why can we have both we are free to do what we want its free to be in sl and cheeper to have land on other grids, till every one stops buying there expensive land at high fee's, they will never change there prices. why does at&t add new option or lower prices,usally cuse sprint added somehting or chaged prices people move back and forth to best deals.power is in the dollors you spend. and as for products they will go where people buy the way i hear it there all ready setting up shop there also. sl will be the leader for a while im sure and the mesh objects option coming might change things alot also for sl, , one thing over the last 8 years here in sl i find constent is change one has to adapt and move with it or sink,

Guess you was talking about Prims and not mesh. sorry maybe my mesh problem is a different issuse then, but it does seem to happen at lod switch and this just seemed to have just started.

i have also had kinda same thing happened to me this week, some shoes i been working on imported. and seems the lod switch when i zoom close they go invisable , but if i wear them then they seem uneffected, i tried a pair i uploaded weeks ago they seem effected also so wasnt anyhting to do with uploading. seems like a lod switch issue.
