    Good for you that you have enough money to do that but not everyone can afford that luxury. SL is not a need to have for the vast majority of people and most will now have less L$ to spend in world on virtual items because they only have so much discretionary income in a given month to spend on a game like SL.

    Well then the vast majority should save up and purchase once a month.  I was buying linden just at whatever buy rate before I realized if I bought larger lots of cash I would only have to pay the 1.49 once - therefore saving money..  I basically bought no money for over a month and reduced my spending in that month to make my money stretch.

    Here's the problem though it's gonna be way more than two bucks for some transactions under the new buyer fee structure of 7.5% which is egregiously high for any business transaction.

    Thats why I just bought before the change has happened.  I dont mind the 9.99 so much ill just byuy 4 x a year instead of 12 x a year thereby eliminating 8 9.99 payments.

    At what rate? I never use the cash bar, I use the exchange to get a better rate.

    Think I bought at 248 tonight took 2 hours.. - 247 was 10 mins depends. I dont bother fiddling around with anything that takes longer to save 2 bucks not worth it.

    This wasn't much warning time since it takes so long to close an Exchange ticket. The time estimates given are rarely  close to reality.

    You should be able to get that amount up in 10 mins to 2 hours..

    I'm curious Reed... If LL was operating out of your own datacenter(s) then a move to AWS resulted in lower costs to you, already. (I work in this field.) But the blog announcement made this sound like a hardship to LL and, hence, the "reasoning" for fee increases. Help me understand this please.

    Ok so instead of monthly, Ill now buy every three months, thereby eliminating any fee I pay for 2 months, and then I pay the same amount I would of paid.  I just buy an even larger amount that I normally use to.  Dead easy way around this mess.

    Hi, Bitterthorn! 

    I can't give an exact dollar value breakdown, but what I can say is that we are committed to reinvesting all of that revenue back into Second Life. The revenue generated from this modest fee increase will unlock and facilitate nearly all of our redoubled efforts to make Second Life an amazing experience for all of you going forward. 

      

    Please make homesteads buyable by  Premium users - I'd own 2 tomorrow.  Its gotten to point of ridiculous that you guys haven't done in this in the last 14 years.

    When did you last see a Bellessarian home available?

    Some of you guys need to stop being sour patch children with the numerous linden accounts.  It really speaks of poor sportsmanship in a game that is kept alive by massive spending by people with money.  The saying in life ''you get what you pay for applies in this situation.'' Your choice if you want to pay to play or to be to cheap to pay.  As to whoever is quoting the Linden, you may as well be quoting god himself right now because most people don't read these forums and quite frankly.  Reading is a fundamental skill in life and some of you guys should read a book instead of whining on a forum about you not getting your choice piece of virtual property.  

     

    As a general reminder and to help facilitate the release process, please do not play “game of homes” by taking and releasing homes during the initial phases of launch.  Also it is extremely helpful to refrain from rapidly switching through different home styles to give the regions time to settle and not overload the backend systems.

    We hope everyone enjoys the latest additions to the Belliseria continent and community!

    You people whining he's saying don't play game of homes need to reread this statement because he said the initial release phases of launch which happened Monday/Tuesday.  Let me point out it is now Saturday soooo can stop quoting him saying xyz.  This is why reading is a fundamental skill in life and some of you need to reread the statements that you interpret as being the end all be all and learn what the words and definitions of those words actually mean.  I know this is SL but everyone should know how to use a dictionary for all intensive purposes.

    Block is a lovely feature.. :) :):):)

    The Mole has spoken with the truth basically and well stated at that.  Now you people with no life can stop speculating that its going to happen.

    New Shiny or Putting Down Roots

    Ill keep the victorian I have on this account, but I'm likely to go back to homestead living in the near future, I find the limitation of prims a huge factor for any furture living.  If I could rent more prims by x amount of $$ for X amount of prims I would actually go that method.  We will see Linden has an opportunity here to make things interesting by offering more prims to linden house owners.

    Nah, don't do it. Once the shiny wears off you'll likely spend most of your time at only one. LOL I have two Premies and so, two LL homes - This account has a really decent-location traditional with clean views, and zero lag. My alt has that awesome Camper spot. And both of us are *always* at the camper home. Fortunately it's my older alt who has the Camper because she's still on the 400L/week stipend (so must not downgrade her) - but if I weren't paid-out so far in advance, I would contemplate downgrading this account if only the LL Home were the deciding factor. But, of course, there are a lot of other perks in being a Premie, so I am wondering what the additional perks will be for being a fat-premie?

    yeah me to considering, if they added a premium zone with 500 prim houses or more i'd be all over that.
